Paladins top flankers

Literally every game I join there's always some salty Skye or Viktor spamming "Need Healing" to an extent where it makes the lobby's ears bleed. I've been playing frontline as long as I've played the game, which has been quite a while now, and this has never ceased to amaze me. The constant spamming of VHS has always gotten on my nerves, especially in games when the Support is doing a phenomenal job.

First off, yes, there are some games when the Support is doing a terrible job, but that's not nearly as common as these people assume. When it comes down to it, the Support's role is to heal the team, primarily the frontlines and the damage/flanks whenever they can outside of that. It sounds simple in essence, but when the healer is being lackluster, there can be a number of reasons that have nothing to do with being a terrible healer.

1) No protection from enemy flanks/damages

I've seen this problem so many times firsthand it gets on my nerves. If both players are of equal skill level, Support doesn't have the survivability or the DPS to handle a Flank or a Damage that just singled them out. Your team's Damage should attempt to protect your support in addition to damaging the enemy team, just as the Support is expected to heal both Frontlines and Flanks/Damages. Otherwise, the Support will be dead too often to be able to heal not only you, but the entire team.

2) You (not the Support) go behind too many walls

I'm even guilty of this as a frontline. Unless your teammate is Seris and can heal through walls, well, your Support can't heal you through walls! Regardless if you're a Flank, Damage or Frontline, if you're not within the line of sight of your Support for more than a fleeting second they can't heal you. Period. If you're not getting healing because you're on the opposite side of the map, suck it up or get closer to your healer.

3) Cauterize 3 Do I even need to explain this? Apparently, some people can't even comprehend the 90% heal block. It's ridiculously high, and if you're not getting heal it's because 90% of it is getting prevented. Try to get yourself some cover, buy rejuvenate, or even better don't put yourself in a precarious situation. Especially late game.

4) Idiotic Frontlines I can't tell you how many other Frontlines I've been paired with that think they're invincible as long as they're being healed. News flash: they're not. A Frontline's job is to stay alive as long as possible while going for the objective, and healing is just something to increase those odds of surviving, and it can even be a lifesaver. That said, a Frontline can't just barge on point and die, then assume the healer is bad. News flash buddy, it isn't the Support that's bad.

Support mains get a bad rap, and it upsets me when I know the healer is doing a stellar job and Viktor spams "Need Healing" 20 times in 10 seconds. I hope this helps raise awareness for an essential part of the team and those who not only main that role, but deal with the constant garbage and toxicity. Thanks to all those Supports who have helped me more times than I can count, I appreciate all the help!

Same champs every single game and it's getting tiring.

Nothing else to explain here. Every ranked game is willo/makoa/strix/raum ban. Every ranked game either our team picks Viktor/Skye/ Maeve or enemy team does. Same supports like IO/Seris/Furia. There are 53 champs in this game. And I honestly don't blame players for picking those champs. Why would anyone spend hours practicing Sha Lin when Viktor or Vivian can kill you easily? I understand that some champions should be easy so that new players get introduced to the game, but at least make those champions weaker in terms of damage/utility. There are many other champions that are un-rewarding to play unless you have godlike aim like Mal'Damba for instance. Lian is also very iffy to aim with and you just get blasted by Lex and Andro.

This is even worse in normals because there are no bans. So you will always see Jenos, Willo, Maeve, Skye, Viktor, etc. Every. Single. Game. It's getting so fucking boring. It was fun when I started playing. I'm still new to the game and have not even spent more than 2 weeks and it's already draining me seeing the same champs every game.
