Why does it not surprise me that a Paladin from my sister server would comment on the IQ score of a warrior 2 months after the last reply…

Unfortunately, healers get the short end of the stick in PvP. They are the first ones to blame and not only that, but their mistakes are easily noted by the entire group when they mess up.
I started doing arenas this season semi-seriously (still pretty casual doing 1-10 a week) and the difference between playing MW and WW is VAST. I have a lot more practice healing than DPSing, but the MW is like 100X harder and more stressful to play than the WW. If I mess up on the WW (and I do quite a lot because I’m not used to playing DPS) no one notices. I can mess up my rotation, incap at the wrong time, not use my defensive CD when I should have and for the most part no one notices. On my MW, if I forget to use a CD or put down my transcendence portal then someone dies and I’m a trash player in the eyes of my team mates and opposing team.
When no one peels and loos the game the always blame heals. It sucks to be a healer in bg’s in the first place and then to hear moaning when you getting ganged up…Multiple time i said peel for heals, Then some genius responds that someone on the team that is a non healing character has more heals it makes me wonder what kind of drugs people are taking. When you are being focused hard there is zero healing going to come out, and you try to move towards the team and they are too busy 4 vs 1 someone…

When I healed I would just say “Sorry back from AFK, you guys did great without me” right before a win was decided just to see the confused rage.

Wait - are these mutually exclusive? Do I not get healed because I tell people they shouldn’t have left flags unguarded?!?!
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your team is let them die and ponder their mistakes.
Casual BGs huh… I remember a day when BG’s weren’t so “casual”
I guess for me, it would depend on the context of how you say it.
Ragers and caps lockers get them /ignored as they generally aren’t doing something constructive like guarding bases, running flags, ect.
“Guys, fight on the flags” “guys don’t just nail n bail the base lol” goes way further than “OMG YOU (cuss words here) IDIOTS!”
It’s a genuine put off, and demoralizes everyone around them.
I don’t think I have ever seen positive results from anyone being called names.
I’ve never seen anyone be like “wow dude you are so right, I will go watch that flag, thank you for opening my eyes with your screaming and yelling and name calling”.

yep I am and have leveled a lot of healers in bg’s. I can tell you you get a lot of rage from your team and focus from your enemy. When it comes to people blaming heals, or me specifically, I act appropriate for the situation, and its not usually good for the people casting asperity lol.

Good!
If I am on my hunter, or rarely my mage, I always say “thanks heals, much appreciated, you guys rock!” or something to let them know i am appreciative of their heals.
It’s not too hard to give a little shout out to someone.
It might make their whole night.

Oh, yeah. The most that I will do, very infrequently, is “Why did everyone leave #####? If you’re the last one at a base, do not leave it…” Mostly passive aggressive haha.

That Is the difference between a winning healer and players like yourself. On my disc priest I could care less if someone is rude to me or complaining, if healing them wins the BG, I heal them!

hrm, If we applied DnD terms, you would be lawful Good. Me, I would be chaotic neutral. I might or might not, depending on how you treat me.
If your dps are playing objectives, then it should be you who follows them. I can almost guarantee your one of those healers on a AB that is losing by one node, yet will sit at BS the whole game instead of helping your team.
Stop being so sensitive and heal those doing objectives, I have personally healed players who insulted me and ended up getting a thank you or apology.
