Been playing Strategist more lately, and I have a small tip for DPS players

I've been learning and Lording some more strategists so I can fill when needed, and I've noticed something that happens quite often:

A DPS player (often a flyer, but not always) spamming their ping for heals while positioned behind both healers.

What I feel like these DPS players aren't taking into account is that, in order to a) see that they need heals and b) actually heal them, the healer has to turn their attention away from the rest of the team and the enemies in order to heal one person.

Should be self explanatory why this is a bad idea, but yeah, you don't want your healer to have to stop paying attention to the rest of the entire team just to heal you

Obviously, I do try to always be positioned in such a way that I can see my whole team, but there are a lot of DPS players that don't make that possible

So yeah, TLDR: Don't make your healers have to face away from the rest of the team to heal you. Instead, position yourself behind cover somewhere in front of your healers. Everyone wins.
