Eliminate roles in battle grounds

Yeah we get it , you can heal a meat bag in a scripted environment . If players knew they didn’t have to face healing and actually had to work together to win the bg there would be an infinite amount of players enjoying BGs. Just saying.

Healers must die!!!
I’m out.

What’s to ask ? Remove the “Healing” or “Tank” roles from BGs , at least for random pool. I can’t understand the need for it , strictly from an entertainment point of view that is.

So you’re saying only DPS in battlegrounds?

Based on the title alone I agreed with the guy thinking his post was about removing the role check from the bg queue. Now I think he means to remove healers from bgs all together…

A lot. There’s a lot to ask.

First: Uh, what?

ok , what’s so bad about an all DPS BG?

Also, i’m 100% percentage certain that if they did implement DPS only queue , there would be no one queuing in the regular queue.
Keep ranked and s__t the same but just add a dps only random BG .
Wouldn’t be hard to implement. Copy the logic for the current random BG queue . Have a flag that says “DPS only” or something like that . Presto , you’re queued for fun. 1 min queue time for sure.

Arms warriors would have a grand ol time without their healers.

People who are playing toons that cant self heal will be in regular queues while hybrids would be favored in no healer queues. Seems kinda pointless.

Yeah but they have their fun in arena anyway . I can’t see the down side to adding an extra “DPS only” queue. If it doesn’t work , which i highly doubt , just remove it.

Im more in favor of just removing role select in general. If im shadow and my team has 0 healers to their 3, i should be able to swap. The restriction only makes sense if both teams had equal amounts of healers, but thats never the case.

You see that’s the problem. The outcome of the BG shouldn’t be based on team composition but rather completing the objective as a team but it’s gotten to a point where the team composition , say 5 healers vs none , dictates the outcome not the actually objective of the BG.

i guess i’m just having a good old whinge.

makes no sense, so many things like warriors or enh shaman would just cease to exist

Team comp would still play a role even with all dps. I would love to be a spriest doing all the healing in the world while they melt to my dots because they cant be healed.

Or just don’t implement it in the first place. :no_mouth:

Who here has experienced battlegrounds as they are and said to themselves: ‘You know what this needs more of? Time spent in the graveyard.’

This is a non-issue at end game. The matchmaking for low levels needs to be fixed but that doesn’t require adding a DPS-only queue.

I gotta say, I do get a kick out of those random all-dps matches every now and then. Scrappy fights, chippy, lots of relays in CtF, people fighting at half-health so everything matters but anything can happen.

I’m not sure if I would prefer that as a regular thing though. I guess I’ve never really considered it.

What? You’d prohibit healers and tanks in battlegrounds? They’re rare enough as it is when doing other content, you’d convince the ones we have in WoW to stop playing them?

Such a poorly thought out idea, please go have a seat.

You can swap. The trick is to select both roles beforehand. If you do this you can select any spec you desire prior to the match starting.

You cant tho, you can only swap between tank and dps roles.
