HealingGive feedback

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

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

Healing 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, meaning each additional source has diminishing returns.

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.

Calculation

Calculating Healing Reduction

Multiple sources of Healing Reduction stack multiplicatively:

$\text{Total Reduction}=1-(1-R_1)\times (1-R_2)\dots$

Example: If two sources of Healing Reduction are applied, one providing 40% and another providing 40%:

1. Convert percentages to decimals: 0.40 and 0.40.
2. Subtract from 1: (1 - 0.40) = 0.60 and (1 - 0.40) = 0.60.
3. Multiply the remainders: 0.60 × 0.60 = 0.36.
4. Subtract from 1: 1 - 0.36 = 0.64.
5. Total Healing Reduction is 64%, not 80%.

Calculating Final Healing

$\text{Final Healing}=\text{Initial Healing}\times (1-\text{Total Reduction})\times (1+\text{Healing Amp})$

Example: A heal of 200 HP is applied to a target with 64% Total Healing Reduction. The healer has 25% Healing Amp.

1. Apply Reduction: 200 × (1 - 0.64) = 200 × 0.36 = 72 HP.
2. Apply Amp: 72 × (1 + 0.25) = 72 × 1.25 = 90 HP.
3. Final Healing received is 90 HP.

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
