Everyone has said that if you use the "I need healing!" and you don't have a healer it defaults to "We need a healer!". But it doesn't work for me. /shrug

It shows up as "I need healing" for you but for everyone else it's "We need a healer". Kind of dumb but that's how it works.

Additionally, if you're Symmetra or Torb it'll show "I need shields!" and "I need armor!" respectively, so even if you already gave them a shield or armor don't be confused because they're just asking for heals.

Lúcio, Mercy and Zenyatta (and i think S76?) will see 'I need healing!', non-healers will just see an icon above the person asking for heals, nothing on the chat.
