Sage Deserves a buff

I'm sure all sentinel mains and sage mains will understand that sage needs a small buff.

I get that riot nerfed the self heal so sage can play even more teammate support, but they need to realize that when your teammates are useless you need to play by yourself, the majority of players are in low elo and sage is a starter agent. Also when your teammates die you need to play by your self. She just needs a small buff to either her slow, like maybe increase the efficiency, or a buff to the self heal. It doesn't need to go back to what it was, like maybe 40-70 is enough. The ally heal to 100 isn't a buff, it's just reverting an old nerf back to what it used to be. With the self heal being so little, it feels unfair to have such a high cool down. That should be decreased as well, so that sage can fit the healer role better. some of you may say that it will be too OP since allies can be healed fully now. But, nowadays, a headshot + bodyshot combo is just enough to kill a fully healed ally. So if teammates are throwing then sage needs to focus on herself.

Sentinels are split into 2 groups. Hard sentinels, like Killjoy and cypher, who defend a bomb site and play around their util. And soft sentinels, like chamber and sage, who defend their teammates and lean back. However, chamber had some attacking solo capabilities with his Q and X ability, meanwhile sage has none. Riot literally nerf sage every other week, I have gotten used to it so far.

Do you think sage deserves a small buff? What would it be?
