Make healers more usable.

I dont know about you, but I rarely see people using healers anymore. I am the same, I never use them. One reason for this is because 1 hit from a seeking air mine and she is dead. I've dropped them many times on the edge of a base, only for them to be 1 shot by an air mine and within seconds your raid has gone horribly wrong.

Well how about the idea that when the healer dies, she drops a heal spell where she dies, healing the same amount of your current heal spell and for the same duration? That way, when she dies, all is not lost and at least your troops get a little heal after your healer got one shot.

Im open to opinions and whatever cons you think it may have.

Edit: Sorry this should have gone in the troop and spell ideas.

Hmm... Nice idea! Although I think a full, proper heal spell when she dies might be too overpowered. A smaller version, that doesn't heal as much might be a more valid option I think. Although Heal Spells aren't in much of a use at TH10 either, as Inferno Towers block their effects of healing. As for lower levels, I think this could make healers more usable at Townhalls 6-8, as deploying a mini heal spell definitely seems like a nice buff.

Hope this helps!

Yeh maybe you're right about the current level of your own heal spell being dropped. Maybe the radius could be reduced a little, or the duration it is there for, or even only healing for half the amount of your normal spell. I think it could bring back the use of healers in some form.

I think it would also be pretty useful when a healer is put inside a cc and she gets killed. She will drop a heal spell and heal whatever other troops are around her, plus any buildings that have taken some damage.

I use healer quite often but maybe a weaker healing spell would be great as the healers do sometimes get killed by mines

Wow, this is a wonderful idea that is very original. As many people have commented, a full heal spell might be too overpowered so I think the best suggestion is a reduced range (maybe the same range as the healer: 4 tile radius?)

This is a great idea. Support +1

It would be a lot better if the healer throws healing spells. ofcourse weaker then normal spell. then they could reduce hitpoints of healer and make it cost a little higher. it is an awesome idea and if it is done it would make healers 1 of the best troop.

Nah. Throwing about 5 heal spells is pretty OP since healers have a fast attack speed.

They technically already throw mini healing spells that last a second

I think this is a great idea. Instead of splitting apart like troops such as the golem or the lava hound, it drops a spell. Amazing.

Nice original idea, but would you be happy getting attacked and a healer drops a heal spell in the core of you're base, thus protecting any troops to demolish your storages =P, love the idea though

OK.
My opinion is that this is a horrible idea. I can't see this as anything but whining... I use healers most of the times, but I invest in 4 -6 minions to draw the air bombs out.

Use your brain and find a way to counter those sneaky little air mines, instead of requesting to buff an already OP unit. I take it you aren't complaining when a healer throws heals thick and fast and thus enables your troops to plow through enemy defenses?

Just my opinion.

Not sure why the previous poster thinks healers are over-powered considering they give nothing versus infernos, go down to a single mine (minions don't trigger air mines) and they heal heroes at half the rate!! In my opinion surviving healers should continue to heal troops and heroes for the remaining battle time once a base has been 3 starred. I like the idea of the OP where a fallen healer imparts a small temporary heal radius.

To the OP this is a very original and great idea. Thumbs up

This isnt a whine post no. I just don't use healers but thought this would be a good idea to somehow bring them back into use for others who like them.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

How about half the power of heal spell and half its duration ? Because when you see a troop dies, the units produced thereafter have considerably low stats, take for example... a Lava Hound or a Witch
