A lot of players already queue offspec heals just to have shorter queues. However, it’d be nice to get games in as dps without having to leave healer queue. It’d increase the number of healers available, as you’re already waiting in a 15+ min dps queue, so healing a match or two while waiting would be a good way to kill time.

ngl i didn’t read this but 2s and 3s are just more fun. 3s the most fun.
why would you as a healer, care so much about dps queus, i think i didn’t read this right. i prolly read this wrong.
They want to queue as both heals and dps at the same time. Have two queues going at once.

oh, wouldn’t healer queue always just go first. would u ever reach a dps queue if u could do both? also thanks. my reading ability is on point but that point is kilometers away
Yeah, I don’t see the point either, you’d never get a dps pop.
the point is you’re technically moving up the dps queue while killing time playing as a healer in shuffle.
I’ve thought about this as well and support op’s idea. Let someone queue as multiple specs. Would speed it up for all since you’ll get more healers that way. Healers win by getting a faster dps pop when they come out of it.
You’d get 12 healer queue pops before getting into a dps game an hour or two later.
Are you, though?
Does being there for longer give you priority?
You wouldn’t chain queue as healer because that queue would always pop faster. You would run 1-2 shuffles as healer and while paused to pop as dps, would move up the queue. Then hopefully only a short wait until the next lobby forms and you go as dps.

I…don’t really think this is a thing, lmao. 
There isn’t a queue of dps in front of you. There is a pool of players waiting to play. The game is waiting for 2 healers of the appropriate mmr to queue up. It will eventually expand the parameters of what appropriate means. That is why the queue is so long. It’s also why the ‘average wait time’ is always wrong.
just make rated skirms keep unrated skirms, dps are 2v2 and 3v3 healers are always 3v3. one match done. que again. 6 matches in a row is so draining. shuffle isn’t fun to heal. it will never fun to heal.

if dps are brainstorming and trying everything just to not heal. everyone gets it.
shuffle just makes u feel like ur being trolled.
You stop queuing as a healer after a couple matches, let your “shortened” dps queue pop, then repeat. You’ll still need to wait for MMR pairing, but once you get close to the average it’s typically not as long as a fresh queue. For example, I’ll sometimes queue as dps before an RBG and when I get out it’s usually just a minute or two before it pops.
