BG - 6 of 10 are healers?!?

What have you done to BG?

How are we supposed to play 6 healers and 4 DPS vs 9 dmg and 1 healer?

Leveling up my ztroll I noticed the alliance always had 4 or more healers every bg while the horde had zero. It actually worked in our favor. I’m not sure how they do the match making. It doesn’t make much sense.

Im pretty sure there is no matchmaking, which is kinda an issue with random BGs.

But no match making means faster queues and with less people alliance side queing… Im not sure if its good bad actually… Do people want faster ques or more balanced games?

Personally id rather wait longer for a better BG experience, but as alliance its generally a 3min queue

Really wish blizz would actually put some dev time into pvp

Ran 8 Skirmishes yesterday.
3 of them were 1v2.
3 of them were 2v2
2 of them were 2v1

I don’t know what in the world is going on with their system, but it isn’t working correctly.

The Horde queues can be up to 15min on the wrong time of day if not longer. And then we get in a unbalanced team with like Op said 6 healers or no healers at all and get roflstomped.

So I rather wait a bit longer at that point to not just have wasted 30min of my life.

I don’t know if its just because its easter holidays or not but I was getting almost instant queues in the brawl earlier. Having more heals didn’t help us either.

I was the only healer in a packed house brawl. It should be even both sides or none at all for that match.

I had the opposite prob on my dark iron I am leveling for a lot of games. It is odd for sure. Healer situation needs to be looked at in leveling brackets. It really throws balance off more times than not.

Max level hasn’t seemed as bad but haven’t played max level bgs near as much recently.

Most horrible BG I was in was in classic. Premade raid group for WSG. 9 Healers and a Tier 2.5/T3 warrior as flag carrier.

That freaking game man.

It’s random, they take the next available lot of players and off you go. So if 6 healers are next up too bad I guess.

Faster queues. Balanced games are a fantasy.

Even if you stretch queue times to outrageous levels and get the perfect balance of roles on each side, class imbalance is still going to be a huge factor. Unless you want to wait 7 days for a perfect mirror comp with equal ilvl… I’d just assume we go ahead and get a game started.

I’m going to guess… healing?

Yeah, that’s weird. It was really bad in the 80-89 bracket. And the 70-79. We went against a 6 healer comp in a wsg :man_facepalming:t2: Luckily for us. We had 4 of 5 twinks so it wasn’t too painful.

Another problem is that BG starts 8v10 and we play like that for 5 minutes and no one joined… 5 minutes of big advantage is more than enough to win/lose BG…

If there is too many healers I wish they could respec to DMG, but they simply cannot change spec because BG assigned them role…
