Hello,
All group fight maps (where both healers of a team play together) - are very boring because everyone is alive all the time. Healers are immortal, everyone around them becomes immortal, and if there are 2 healers who can heal each other, the whole team becomes even more immortal.
Many games end up in a stale mate with very little kills where both teams PVE each other but nobody’s health drops below 50%
Very few maps are fun - only the ones that require the teams to disperse, and then you can have fun small-scale PVP skirmishes.
Essentially, healers hold the whole PVP scene hostage because if they don’t queue, nobody gets to play shuffle. Blizz caved in. Every single PVP change in the last few years was driven by healers’ demands.
They stun us! Most stuns’ duration reduced.
They CC us too much! All hard CC reduced from 8 sec to 6 sec
They still CC us too much! Healer trinket made 1min 30 sec
They interrupt us too much! All interrupts reduced by 1-2 sec
They still interrupt us too much! Every healer give an immunity CD - disc ultimate pen, resto druid got one, evoker got one, monk got one etc…
They can swap to the healer and kill it! Every healer given double defensive CDs (double bop, double pain suppresion, etc.)
I think this is bad design. If they don’t want to heal, then just stop buffing the healer role and start investing in role-agnostic or DPS-only PVP modes where players’ health bars actually move.

Every team fight I lose I notice one thing. Their team is focusing our DPS and CC’ing our Healers while our team is focusing their healers CC’ing nobody.
KILL.THE.DPS. (Am I crazy?)
Its a L2P issue and probably also the fact that you are doing PvP in PvE gear.
Target easiest DPS, disrupt healer. If its a Disc, have DoTers to spread dmg, time your CC etc.

Only bad players think this.

Healers can be overcome by smart play.
That being said it is extremely boring to fight against them.
Its also amusing how brainless healing is. Expecting dps to cross cc, track dr, interrupt (and not overlap them) etc in a pug while healers zug zug without having to track anything besides health bars is a joke

No one takes a person posting on an alt account seriously.
Also, CC is terrible at the moment and needs a heavy nerf. It is not fun sitting in CC for like 20 seconds sometimes.

Problem has more to do with the fact that Blizzard refuses to make PVP independent of PVE in terms of class design.
As long as this isn’t addressed, Healers will functionally be playing a different game from everyone else.
Another problem is that CC is quite chaotic in blitz and a lot of times it’s a lottery of overlapping and there’s no sense of control or contribution at all. At least in the MMR hell games.
