The phrase comes from Overwatch, Blizzard's team shooter released in 2016, where the cyborg ninja Genji can request healing from support heroes. Players quickly turned the line into a running joke because Genji players were stereotyped as diving deep into enemy lines and then constantly asking for heals. Clips, remixes and soundboard versions spread across gaming communities, transforming a normal voice line into shorthand for any needy, reckless teammate.
