'Cause usually they are one of the only female characters in game.
I mean League for example, there are tons of male tanks, but only a few female (good) tanks. Most female char's are supp/mage/archer.

I really like playing different char's but I got this tick that I only want to play female char's --> hence why I usually go for supp/adc. Noone want's to play supp so I do it. Top/mid/bot/jung are usually taken by someone, why would I go and make a scene to get that lane when I can have fun in supp role?
If I have the opportunity to play a female tank in MMORPG's I will take it. Just as I will take a mage or archer. Just not much of a fan of supp in MMORPG's besides League.

Meh, not sure, I just enjoy playing the healer when I can. If I can't take that option, I go with an archer or a mage, less directly confrontational but I suppose it's because I'm able to be more tactical and slower, think my decisions out more from a distance. When I play warriors or rogues, characters like that, I have to take a more direct approach and I just end up button smashing and not having fun.
I'm going to say "maternal instinct" but I have a bunch of doctors and spirit healers in my family, male and female. So it makes people feel good wjen they can build and replenish rather than destroy.

I spent a lot of time playing Wolfesntein E. T. If I wasn't an engi I'd usually be a medic/healer. Back in my day I had to revive people and keep their health high while taking MG fire.
I also managed to steal a lot of gold as a medic. . .
overwatch ain't the only game out there

lol I've noticed the same thing. Even if they don't play healers, they always play the cutest female characters (like D. VA). Even in other games if they go for the most brutal damage dealers, they still always choose female. But many guys, myself included like to play a lot of female characters too (because they look attractive). I've never seen a girl who chooses a male character if she has the option to make it female. It seems that girls don't want to play the muscular male character because they think it looks attractive, but guys like to pick hot female characters for that reason. Girls tend to pick their characters based on what they would like to look like.
It's that material instinct but damn is it the hardest class to be as in some games because your entire team relies on you and when you fuck up you fuck up hard.
Though to be fair Asuna from SAO was a damage dealer class, but then again she did take a healer class in the 2nd or 3rd season.
Honestly we've been taught to prioritize other people over ourselves and voila now you have an underpaid magical babysitter ur welcome buddy.
Also: aesthetics.I'm not sure why anyone likes playing healer honestly. Don't get me wrong it's great since they're helping everyone but it's so boring to play as for me. I like fighting in games. It's more challenging and I feel like I've accomplished more.
Sounds like they're embracing their natural feminity.
Because woman need to feel needed/wanted blah blah blah...
Because they love healing?
man try to not waist your time understanding girls, cuz we never can.Well, we don't like to be blamed for being a stupid ADC/mage or whatever. you don't have to work that hard when playing supports 👌
I want to play Overwatch so badly, but no that will never happen for me. 😭
its easiest and you don't get killed alto but its also just as fun
i always pick healers xD cause i wanna win and everybody els is just hanzo and genji main so in order to win there´s no other option xD
Thats the natural feminine role/energy is to be supportive of a lead.
For their duo/group players to get a massive hard on whenever she heals them.
I have tried healers and mages, but I always get bored and need more of a fighter character.
When I play the Healer, it's usually b/c no one else is playing one. I'm usually D. Va or Reaper.
because they are submissive is im sure the reason you are hoping for.
I don't, i usually pick the the cutest character
I don't know, I've always played warrior.
we have a nurse spirit
