Is anyone under the impression that Blizzard balances comp for randoms?

It is quite interesting because I am seeing more and more instances of this as the player base dwindles.

Is it 5 healers out of the 20 total players, or 5 healers on one side? If it’s the former, that’s pretty normal. If it’s the latter, I have literally never seen it and would appreciate a screen shot… for science!

I had this happen on my 90s BE Priest yesterday, made me laugh.

Pre-120, right? Happens all the time now before level cap and I’ve never seen it at 120.

This happens all the time. Weave some games with ZERO healers, into the mix, and you’ve got a pretty good representation of sub-120 BGs.

i dont mind 0 healers to 2. i mean whatever but 5 heals in a game is unkillable pre 120s

It’s been more prevalent at 120 lately ( in my experience obviously ). I’ve had quite a few games where one team has had 2x the healers of the other team - on top of that there really needs to be some item level matching in randoms.

I’ve honestly never experienced this at 120 in BfA. The occasional one healer disparity, yes, and very rarely a two healer disparity as well.

The only time I’ve seen something ridiculous as five healers versus zero was prior to cap. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I play my share of BGs and this situation has evaded me.

I would argue that 5 healers is unkillable even at 120. At least in randoms anyway.

I keep seeing people complain about healers on the bg forum. it’s really confusing me because since I came back in 8.1.5 I literally haven’t had a single game yet with an unbalanced amount of healers, and it’s never more than 3 each side. Im not saying it doesn’t happen, but literally every single game for me has been the same number of healers on both sides, doing average 3 bg’s a day since the patch. I take note in each bg, so I thought they finally figured out how to balance it.

Last two games last night (and other nights) with 6 heals in AB. The second game they had 6 rogues to our 6 heals. I often see similar groupings lately. Sometimes it’s 5s instead of 6s (and not always heals but also things like their 5 warriors to our 5 mages, etc).

But, the matchmaking system isn’t broken, right? lol.

Were you the one /loling at people and yelling? I played a bunch of games with you if so

17

Ah this reminds me of a BG I did yesterday where we had 6 druids on our team. 2 resto, 2 balance, 2 feral. I want to say it was a BfG

:woman_shrugging:

I don’t remember doing it but it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I’ve been known to /lol at certain types of players >:

Generally only see this in 10/15s if it’s a groups queuing, queue system has a hard time balancing those, especially if they’re made of multiple healers. It usually does a good job of balancing roles if the groups have no healers, or there’s no groups at all. If you don’t believe this, then look at your Reflex games, it shows healers, a majority of mine in 10/15 are balanced healer wise, with a few being +1/-1 healers.

6 healers in a Kotmogu, 1 tank, 1 dps. Something is seriously broken.
