Healing

Healing is the act of recovering a unit's current health, which includes various methods such as lifesteal, health regen, and item effects.

Math

The formula for healing is: ${\text{healing}}_f={\text{healing}}_i\ast \prod (1-{\text{healing}}_{red}\ast b)\ast (1+{\text{healing}}_{amp})$
where ${\text{healing}}_f$ is final healing, ${\text{healing}}_i$ is initial healing, ${\text{healing}}_{red}$ is healing reduction amount, $b$ is (1 - healing reduction resistance), and ${\text{healing}}_{amp}$ is healing amp.

Healing Amp

Healing Amp, also known as Healing Effectiveness, is a stat which increases the amount of healing a hero does with their abilities and items. This affects both healing to themselves and to their allies. Healing Amp affects healing-over-time buffs, such as Healing Rite's active effect.

This stat is represented as a percentage. For example, a 25% gain would increase a heal of 100 to 125.

Healing Reduction

Health reduction is a negative effect which reduces the effectiveness of healing on the unit it is applied to.

Healing reduction is represented as a percentage and stacks multiplicatively. For example, two different sources of 40% healing reduction would result in a total reduction of 64% to incoming heals.

If a player is hit by the same source of healing reduction before its effect has worn off (e.g. two or more enemy players with Healbane), only the first source is applied.

Sources of direct healing

Killing a Medic Trooper drops a Medic Pack that heals nearby players based on the following formula:

Heal = (16% of hero's missing HP + 150 HP + 4 HP per minute) / Number of nearby heroes
