A Medic Sub-Role Passive Rework Could Make Healing-Focus Supports Viable

General :flair-general:

As everyone knows, healers without utilities can never reach the skill-ceiling. In addition, with the release of this season's global healing reduction, the importance of healing is being further diminishing.

What do you think if the Medic can get some kinds of utilities as reward from healing?

A couple goals here,

  1. Increase viabilty of Mercy, LW, Moira by making their healing meaningful.

(Swap Kiriko with Brigitte. Kiri already got more than enough utilities, and Brigitte could need a bit help.)

  1. Differentiate the professional and average healers from the usage of the new passive.

(Mercy, LW, Moira, and Brig, they all do not need to reload in their primary fire; thus, a difficult but impactful "active ability" could be implemented in theiri R button.)

  1. Healing focus heroes are essential for the new players in this game (due to its high skill-floor), but they are usually not viable in higher elo and pro play. if this works out, it helps a lot in future releases of similar heroes.

I love this game so much, and I sincerely hope some of you can bring out a genius idea on this Medic sub-role passive.

Here's a quick prompt,

"Medic can now recharge a resource bar by doing X points of effective healing. Once its recharged, Medic may press reload button to xxx"
