Dear Blizzard, why healers aren't queueing

How would you know? Can you arena at level 11?

Multiplayer.

As a paraplegic I feel really attacked right now

Multiplayer

I asked about the O as well. What does the O stand for in MOBA?

[Speedred-sargeras (Speedred)]

Online, not mass multiplayer online. Just Multiplayer online.

[Bloomsday-sulfuras]

@Speedred-sargeras

Online

Good, so that means the difference between a MOBA and an MMORPG is what, exactly? The fact that one is a BA and the other is RPG? And what do RPGs have? Gearing.

Glad I could clear this up for you.

Question, how many people playing together makes for ‘massively’ (That’s what one of the M’s stand for.) Does it require a group, or just people playing around each other, what are the requirements? You know raids and M+ can be played with less people than RBGs.

[Speedred-sargeras (Speedred)]

Arena is a mini game in an MMO.

And as such, gearing, which is central to the MMO genre, will still be relevant. Would you like to try again?

[Speedred-sargeras (Speedred)]

Gearing should never be a stepping stone in a completive game. Imagine playing chess and the other player hadn’t unlocked the queen yet.

@Speedred-sargeras

Gearing should never be a stepping stone

And it isn’t in a lot of non-RPGs. However, you’re playing an RPG Speedred.

@Speedred-sargeras

playing chess

WoW =/= Chess.

My cadaverous friend I do regret to inform you that you are being strung along in the poorest of faith.

@Kennie-malganis

Always nice of you to let others know when they’ve lost the argument haha. +1

[Kennie-malganis]

No, I don’t think I will.

[Speedred-sargeras (Speedred)]

Not sure who you think is stringing along who, but ok buddy.

[Nasrajin-sargeras]

Ngl, i agree with bloomsday takes far more than any post that has come out about solo shuffle or boosting.

[Gah-eonar]

Not argueing your stance, but i like to think wow is like chess.

The strategies you use vs people of the same class use, how your abilities interact with opponents. Thinking a head and planning attacks, when to play defensive, when to go for the kill, the mind games you play with your opponent.

Newbie A vs Pro A may play the same class with the same moves, but how they execute those moves can make them shine

All the fun and wonderful aspects of chess are shared in wow.

@Kennie-malganis

They’re already nerfing crits and adjusting CC

quick queues and long games
can’t wait
haha

i originally thought the changes were kinda nice then i had it explained to me why exactly they’re not
the post on the 10.1 ptr forums by nahj definitely helped too

@Shamvandám-kiljaeden

need to just remove the asinine restrictions of needing healer in order to get a que pop, just let people play the damn game. DPS vs DPS. Everytime Blizz tries to force people into a certain mold they dont want or enjoy Blizz loses ppl. I digress, if thats what they want to do then let the game devolve into whatever. Hopefully someone else will make something enjoyable to send my money at instead, getting my fill of waiting in que simulator.

I agree at this point. Healing in solo shuffle is a nightmare

[Shamvandám-kiljaeden]

If thats how you want to interpret it, again hats off to you and your amusing world view.
