Healers are so overpowered now that I am regularly finishing BGs where one side has literally 0 killing blows. What kind of amazing game design is that?!
One or two players should not be able to undo the work of that many other players on the enemy team to the point where 8 dps can’t land a single kb.
Healers are nerfed in rated with dampening for a reason. Leaving healers as raid bosses in normal BGs and ruining an entire game mode just to make it more enticing to new players or [insert other excuse] makes no sense.

While I’m normally inclined to wholeheartedly agree with threads like these, and while I still believe healers are leaning broken > balanced, one thing I have noticed is most dps players in BGs are incredibly bad…
Does this make healers not OP? No, they’re still OP as ****, but dps getting better at the game would help. A lot.

“But But, nobody queus as a healer…”
I miss the days when you could punish a healer and kill him in 1 interrupt as a Warrior or rogue. Know if you do whatever you want he is a live lord with instant heals infinite defensives.

laughs in healer
I mean it’s expected for us to see bad dps make threads about trying to zug healers. But I see no good dps here
lol the arrogance in this post is hilarious
You mean truth.
I know you are probably still learning words…but I’m here to help
this is a pretty high-level troll credit where credit is due 
In all seriousness I’m not seeing any of the 2k+ dps in here saying healers are gods. And I’m getting my face pumped in regular bgs and I’m no slouch. I just think some dps feel like if they do more damage than a healer heals it should work out in their favor and that’s never been this game mode since vanilla when rogues could stunlock and kill a healer
Are healers overpowered? Yes. But so is damage done and so is CC.

The problem isn’t necessarily just healers, but also the general state of the game as a whole.
You’ve got CC being thrown all over, nearly every spec having multiple defensives and self heals, tons of mobility to counteract the cc, etc.
Whether or not this is a good thing is another matter, but healers don’t exist in a vacuum and you can’t just nerf them without also touching on all the other things.

Idiots who benefit from a broken system always deflect lmao
p.s. I’ve been 2k+ since 2011 if you’d bothered to look, like you need that to be able to see wtf is happening in normal BGs

For real a ret paladin complaining they cant kill a healer? A 2k ret paladin struggling with healers…in random bgs? I just want to make sure I have all the facts before I make a post about it 
. Ret paladin 2k player?? lol
Bud, you do realise achievements are account wide? I coulda picked any of the many toons I’ve hit 2k with as the avatar here.
Again, deflecting the actual issue dude - it’s not just about a ret struggling with healers, my post was about entire teams struggling against healers. Yes there’s been times in this game when healers have been powerful, but we are at DEFCON 1 levels of op-ness.
Also, nerf rets lmao I’m not even playing them this season, they are op as tho
Healers aren’t a problem. You just aren’t playing with dps who know how to play. I mean I can heal my butt off but if my team doesn’t know how to play I’m basically useless. There’s a major skill cap discrepancy and healers aren’t op. It’s just that the skill ceiling of players is really low right now. If you get into the 2k bracket you will see. Healers aren’t op. You just can’t play random bgs and expect any of your dps mates to play at 2k
man healer tuning is objectively really high even blizz have stated this they juiced it up back towards the end of DF to get more healers to que into SS because the ques were too long and the result was healers in randoms got turned into raid bosses because of no dampening and they again they increased dampening in arenas like 2-3 patches ago by 10% because healing was too strong lol so I’m sorry man it’s just objectively true that healing is over tuned in random battlegrounds

lol dps got used to healers being inept with the 10% debuffs they kept dropping on healing.
Healers are just as powerful now as they have been for 5 expansion now. None of this is a new phenomenon
It’s crazy that some games I’m getting trained by 4-5 geared players and easily living, just toying with people, not popping cooldowns.
Then in another game I’m getting trained by 2 good DPS and if Im not ready or don’t have my cooldowns I get blown up in a stun
I always assumed the people who complain about healers are the ones from the first group
