I was playing against Pooipants and his boghopper spitter was healing 4s with each hit and I couldn't find the reason why, except looking at that firk champion with natures connection. No spells, no equipment except mine on the boghopper. I asked him why is he healing? But he couldn't be bothered. The combat log showed nothing at all.... So how am I supposed to play this game if things are happening that I can't inquire information on.
Sounds like a bug then... Boghoppers are not treefolk or plants so, unless your equip turned the boghopper into a tree or plant, he should only heal 2.
Actually Nature's Connections shouldn't heal the spitter at all. Only the firk would heal 2. I'd bet on Twisted Emerald too. I know he said no equips, but it would be some other champ with the equipment, giving the target Twisted Essense. So the spitter wouldn't need to be equipped itself.
What were you playing? Did you have any sort of Reflection? His Spitter has Poison Eater and Attack Poison.
I had this suggestion of making it only dedicated healers (Priest of Valdac, Boghopper Shaman, etc.) get access to Heal Champion 3. Champs like Northern Cross Priestess and Moga Chef do not need Heal Champion 3. After that, you can reduce the amount of Divine Favor champs. Dwarven King doesn't need it and i'm sure there are others.
That's because you don't need anti healing to "counter" healing. Apart from isolated cases healing doesn't need a counter.
