Not taking self-heal

I'm seeing an increase in people not taking any healing perks (Self-Heal / Inner Strength / etc), and it's starting to annoy me.

Seeing a Survivor remain injured for a good portion of the match, to then die early on or wasting time trying to find another Survivor to heal them.

Now I don't mind not taking a healing perk if you're in a SWF group so you can communicate you need healing or if you take a med-kit (or if you take No Mither, but that perk kind of annoys me too), but you go solo into a match with no remains to heal yourself why put yourself at such a disadvantage?

    Dont need to heal if you just do the gen fast enough.

    Being injured all the time doesn't necessarily mean you'll go down in 10 seconds so repairing a generator while injured makes more sense than healing in a corner for the duration of HALF A GENERATOR (or even longer if the killer runs sloppy combined with dying light, thanatophobia etc) - IF you're good at the game that is.

    I agree.

    It makes no difference if you heal yourself with SC or somebody else heals you. SC heal penalty is 50%. So you can either have two survivors off a generator for 16 seconds for a total of 32 seconds of lost manpower or one survivor doing it for 32 seconds by themselves. Either way, it's the same amount of time lost.

    The lost time is with the person roaming the map, not the time it takes them to heal.
