Please delete this thread. I’m not sure what exactly changed, but after posting the thread, the issue I was experiencing regarding 3-3 matches never rewarding anything seemed to change, and most of my matches going 3-3 now rewarded me with points.
After experiencing this change it greatly reduced the stress and frustration I was feeling with the game mode, as playing well and tying a match with another healer, rewarded both of us for our efforts.
none of this will happen because healers are too minor of a community in an ever shrinking community of PVPers and the majority of PVPers dont want to find healers that can actually change the game by a significant margin.
You either heal cause its what you like doing and accept that climbing is much harder, or you dont heal.
I appreciate that you gave suggestions for how to fix the issues for healers in SSH, but i’m not sure they are the best solutions. suggestions 1 and 2 are complete opposites of each other… you want to ignore MMR in one and use it to your advantage in another.
Suggestion 3 is fine, and might get more healer specs in the game, but it does nothing about the rating gains issue in general.
