About

GG No Heals is a gaming catchphrase typically used in hero shooter games like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals when other teammates accuse a support player of not healing the characters during the match. The phrase uses the slang GG (good game) and started to be used online in November 2022 as it was popularized among Rivals players in early January 2025 as a way to mock duelist players blaming others for their lack of skill.

Origin

On November 13th, 2022, an unknown Redditor^[1] uploaded a screenshot of an Overwatch match status to the /r/Overwatch subreddit, writing, "Support diff be like. gg no heals." The image also highlights the amount of healing both support players did during the game (seen below), which amassed more than 910 upvotes and 150 comments in three years.

Spread

The catchphrase became increasingly popularized over the next few years among hero shooter gamers as it spread online, especially after the launch of Marvel Rivals in December 2024.

For instance, on January 10th, 2025, TikTok^[2] user @awelessness posted a video playing as the support character Jeff the Land Shark going against his duelist teammate, who was complaining and posting "gg no heals" in chat during the match. The video (seen below) received over 1.3 million plays and 147,000 likes in two months.

The catchphrase is also used by players of other hero shooter games. For example, on January 15th, 2025, Redditor^[3] u/4CETHETICS uploaded a screenshot of Warframe to the /r/Warframe subreddit, writing "ORDIS, solo ult the stupid green Eximus then proceed to type 'gg no heals' in chat." The post (seen below) amassed over 3,100 upvotes and 77 comments in two months.
