"I haven't played in a league since I saw how much the medic mattered, it may have evolved since then.
Medics are one of the closest (let's discount ubers for a second, since that's a clear problem) good healers there are because of a few things;
* They can't heal themselves
* They have low combat capabilities
* They have to constantly babysit their targets non-stop to be effective, keeping them closer to danger
These things are giant wins, and things LoL can use if done correctly. See my previous post for how heals can be improved in LoL, and we're releasing more support characters. However LoL is meant to have attrition be extremely meaningful. With laning, tower pushing and harassment, heals fight against this actively. " - Morello
