The line comes from Overwatch, released by Blizzard in 2016, where the 'I need healing' wheel callout is voiced by each hero in character. For the gunslinger originally named Jesse McCree and renamed Cole Cassidy in 2021, the request gained extra meme life because damage players famously overused it while out of position. Clips and soundboards isolated his version, and it spread through Twitch, Discord and gaming edits as shorthand for a desperate, badly timed plea for support that healers instantly recognise.
