As healers, we take a lot of heat by keyboard warriors. Post some doozies you have heard.
Me Being Focused Hard
Warrior: “You spent the whole fight healing yourself and not us. You suck”
Maybe… peel?
Demon Hunter: “Maybe try healing instead of doing dmg”
Uhhh. I am a disc priest. We heal by… ah never mind.
(PS. This was all during winning games)
And this is still my favorite pie chart of all times

I was trying out MW recently. Had a warrior tell me to “put dispel on your bar, kid” When I linked details showing him I was dispelling on Cd… mostly on him too “not including the tiger lusts I also tossed him trying to keep him on trgt” … he responded with “LOL ur bad” and put me on ignore.
Anyways, yea! healers are jus tthe easy target to blame, I guess. It is what it is.
WoW damage dealer player are the worst. 've quitted tanking back in MoP for the sames reason.
I’ve stopped healing when I’ve realized most tanks and healers are competente but dps are clueless. If you know how to play. Be a damage dealer so their is one less stupid in your group.
100% especially with the level of burst damage in the game and out of control levels of CC and interrupts that every class seems to have. I play all the healing classes and some just aren’t really viable if you don’t have peels (which you won’t generally get in most random BGs, maybe some in high level rated)
It makes me shake my head when people say “nerf healers” and when blizz does things to disincentivize people from playing them. Then, when they make it feel remotely good for a minute, they nerf them back down. I’ll say this to DPS only players, you will not get BG queues to pop without healers so support your healers so they don’t give up and stop queueing. Stop whining about healers and try playing one and see how you feel after a few games and maybe you’ll appreciate that it’s the hardest thing to do in PvP.
As a melee main i try to heal on the side (im horrible with any ranged spec). It was the best thing ive done for understanding what its like being a healer. I deffinitley have respect for my healer friends out there. Its a tough existance to choose
i got gripped by a blood dk in wsg last night. basically removed me from combat…no one came to help except this poor hunter bm hunter in bgb.
naturally I got the “wheres our healer at?” lol even though I said like 3 times…blood dk got me. most dps dont understand what tanks or healers do. some do but not many…i feel like this poor hunter did lol
It’s always funny when someone points out that i am mostly healing myself. Yeah sorry i am so busy tanking 3 of their team members, maybe help me out. 
yea… this is a BDK only job in bgs… Find a priest and don’t let him play the game. It creates a 7v7 in BGB but your team is down a healer, they’re down their tank. It’s hard to win against a team with a BDK when you have a priest healer.
Super annoying to be the priest… super fun to be the dk!
DPS players in rated PvP are effectively playing Diablo / M+ all day. They don’t really care to CC, interrupt, peel, or otherwise do anything outside of their damage rotation regardless of the tools they have.
Blizzard has always put most of the responsibility on Healers & Tanks, and its why there has always been a sort of “shortage” with them. Healers sometimes are pretty bad too tho.
Yeah the DK grip thing could be solved by putting a 1 min immunity after being gripped twice in a row. It really shouldn’t be allowed to be used that way in pvp. Happened to me in silver shard two days ago on my priest. Same thing called out to the team multiple times asking for help and trying to explain why my damage was like 200m from just spamming damage into the Blood DK because there was literally nothing else I could do.
I was chain gripped by 3 DKs from ROC, across the river, and towards their mage tower.
Was non stop. I just let myself be killed. There was no escape.
I wanna hear more funny healer blames though!!
This is always my favorite comment. I’m almost always my top healed player because I’m always next to myself and always the closest player taking damage. I never line myself or range myself and I’m a priority target. Of course I’m mostly going to heal myself lol
You and Ghost both think you’re tanks. And I agree. 
My favorite is, “Our healers suck”, “Why aren’t you healing more?”, and like others have mentioned, “You are spending more time healing yourself”.
Usually what I see when people complain, the first is just toxic to be toxic. The 2nd thinks I magically have another 500k HPS in the tank I am saving for a random moment, and they don’t know how to use their defensives while healing ramps. And the 3rd is because in PvP, most people will say “Target their healers” and a good team will, so I spend more time healing myself which means the team is taking less damage and not noticing why.
Haha yeah I mean it’s not super common. But hard to be angry when the blood dk is doing a very specific job and he was good at it. I told the hunter to just leave me and go get efc but he was trying to kill bdk lol i appreciated the sentiment but better to just let bdk own priest and carry on 7v7
Lol yes so true. My friends and I got called so many names that made us laugh Maybe these ppl had a bad day at work? We just decided to ignore all these and focus on the tasks. Thinking of how badly nurses/doctors got treated by patients in real life, this is pretty gentle.
Also, on a related matter, I think the game should do away with the healing scoreboard. It not only is a wrong representation of one’s contribution but encourages the wrong way of gameplay. Think of the people at the lower end of the scoreboard, some of their actions could be the critical healing of the right person at the time that is most needed, which leads to the winning of the game, and in every sense, deserved to be called the MVP! However, currently, their contributions are all buried and credits taken by the ppl at the top.
Oh, this is not your fault. The fault lies with Blizzard; they shouldn’t have allowed healer classes in battleground PvP. Healers make the game very boring.
There are definitely a ton of healers that have zero idea how to position and like to sit in the middle/front of the group instead of max ranging in the back. But when I heal, if I’m sitting there healing you being tunneled and you’re just mongo’ing around and not peeling for me I’ll just not heal you the rest of the game 
where heal 
Admittedly I do more raging at DPS than the other way around
