Healer incentive for non healers (Shuffle/Blitz)

Pardon if this has already been mentioned, but it could bear repeating.

If you play a full shuffle/blitz game as a healer, your account should get a an account wide buff similar to the deserter buff that gives non healer characters priority for your next queue. It might give more incentive for people to jump on a healer and play a game to guarantee healer queue times for non healer characters.

This isn’t the worst idea ever

I agree, the 50 conquest are pitiful nowadays. My other idea was to introduce a hybrid queue where 3 specs that all had healer roles took turns healing, these teams would have prio queue as well

Only concern would be could someone then use this to sort of manipulate their queues to boost more easily.

I don’t want people who don’t like healing doing it for priority qs.

Would just make the game even more dog log.

It’s hard enough getting into a 2100 Cr game with a 1500 Cr healer or DPS.

Boost? Maybe, but probably not.
It WOULD be super exploitative and allow for wintrading at the high end VERY easily, though.

If they get the next dps queue, its kinda defeate the purpose. Well for solo shuffle.

Many healers would just take a dps queue they wouldn’t have take and it wouldn’t be time efficient to play 25m of healer aolo match just to skip a 15min queue.

I suspect time would just get longer for none healer player.

Boost probably wasn’t the right word, but yeah pretty much same thought though, people would abuse the heck out of it

Obvious solution to that would be making the matches only count toward priority credits if you win them/go 3-3 or better.

People who hate healing wouldn’t heal regardless, as it wouldn’t save them much time over just waiting in the queue. What this would do is reward those few people who do actually heal, giving them a reprieve. It would also give a positive nudge to those on the fence.

I think most people heal on low geared alts for fast conquest to get gear quickly …of course there are die cards who’ll spam heal shuffles but most dedicated healers play on a main team I’d imagine

Yes but it should be every 2 games you heal not just one.

this sounds more like a way to get actual healers to jump ship to dps while healer rerolls just throw rounds to get faster losses to get those priority queues on the class they actually want to play
