I was was just wondering why it is that Heal gets so much negativity in the League of Legends Community. I personally don't see any reason it should get any bad feedback, but then again, I don't have the highest ELO so the lower levels might not punish me enough for using it....

It just sucks, to be honest. The heal amount is pretty pitiful, and there's no reason to take it over ignite/exhaust/flash/clairvoyance/smite or even ghost.

Any situation heal would save you from, flash would have worked better.

Late game it sucks.
Most games have a healer on the team.
The cooldown is too long to provide sustain.
It'd only really good for clutch-survives under a tower or something.
It's 1/2 amount for nearby allies.

I usually only see Heal on newer players, or the occasional Twitch, Singed, Malphite or Rammus. Twitch and Singed use it for clutch-survives, while the tanks use it since they can build up a lot of resistances ( Defensive Curl), so Heal gives more effective health.

It's pretty bad, sometimes good in certain situations with certain champions. The bottom line is that the other summoner spells are a lot better.

I see no reason to get it. It doesnt heal that much and has a long CD. It's better to get a support and heal using your skill.

It's because of how bad it is later.

Exhaust ends up preventing more damage.

No. Clarity is far superior (even though it still isn't great) because Insight gives the same amount to nearby allies. A lot of champions, especially AD carries and tanks, have very low mana pools even late game, while health scales up with level a lot more, and most champions get some sort of survivability item.

If you don't have a Soraka or Soul Shroud, Clarity is the only way to supply your team with mana without everyone having to build regen items. Blue buff is reserved for AP carries or junglers usually.

I still use Clarity when I play Lux, so I can crank fully on AP and can sustain myself when I don't have blue buff. It still helps late game.

I tend to agree that clarity is better than heal.

Surprises me every time someone uses clarity at a good moment and we can keep pushing or something to get 2 more towers than we might have.

Is it great? Don't know. Can be useful though. :P

Instead of discussing how bad Heal can be, why dont we talk about Rally?

This man brings forth a good point. Has rally actually tuned the tide of ANY fight?
