Before you start spamming and screaming at your Sage, be mindful of what's happening around her

I imagine this has been discussed a lot but I want to add my two cents. I absolutely love Sage and even though I am trying to learn as many agents as possible, I actually thought about being a Sage main in the future but after I started playing her I'm having second thoughts. Let me just say, I play for the team as much as I can. I do my best to constantly check my team's health and I will heal whoever is the lowest. If I have to choose between healing myself and a teammate who's playing better than me, I will heal my teammate instead of myself. I'm also always looking to use my ult. But people constantly spam Sage for healing and reviving... Well, first of all, I'm not deaf. If you say it once, I heard you. There's no need to repeat the same thing 7 times. Some people are very polite and ask for healing ONCE. If others can do it, you can do it too.

Second, I'm not going to say how annoying that is (because everyone knows it's annoying) but I want to mention how distracting it can be, specially for players with less experience (like myself). And yes, the fact that I get distracted by this type of thing is something I need to work on but, if you're playing with me, chances are you're also relatively low elo, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Don't expect me to be the best Sage you ever played with. Here are a couple of examples:

  1. I was playing and this Jett went "Sage heal! Sage heal! Heal! Heal! Heal!" all this while I had the enemy Sage and Reyna in front of me. I was able to kill one of them but I got killed by the other. This was a situation where I'm confident that if I was focused, I could have killed both of them or at least kill one and deal significant damage to the other. But no. I was busy trying to ignore the screaming.

  2. Ally Phoenix gets killed. My ult was ready and I was thinking about using it on him before he even said anything. The problem was the enemy Jett who was right in front of us and me and the ally Jett were trying to get rid of her, ally Jett gets killed and all of a sudden Phoenix starts "Sage revive me!" five or six times. Bruh... Jett is in front us!!! Reviving him there would have resulted in one of us getting killed and therefore, wasting an ult. If it was someone else, I could have walled, but it was Jett. She can fly above my wall... And then at the start of the next round the guy has the audacity to tell me "Sage use your ult". Yeah, I will use it but what's the point in reviving you if you're going to get killed as soon as I do it? Or if I'm going to get killed while I'm doing it?

These are just a couple of examples but stuff like this happens all the time. Seriously, how hard can it be to THINK? Just be mindful of what is happening around your Sage before you start screaming at her, please. Thank you!
