This person is on to something…
I agree the whole spiraling down experience is the worst and has caused many people to rage quit.
I actually like this idea alot!!!

Why not just buff healing? Or healers damage. They should just get rid of healers and make dps/healing support hybrids tbh.
This right here. Just make the role more fun for non healers to want to play it.
Winning give healer a chance to obtain profession skill point as reward?
I think that would be a place to start and hammer things out.
Get to a point and it takes so many wins to move forward but once you reach the next tier you don’t fall.
So, you hit rival, and you must win so many positive games before you can move to the next level. Even if it’s 10+ wins (4 round wins or higher) to reach the next tier it would be better than dropping because of one game. One good game or one bad game does not need to destroy or propel you forward.
it could even be three straight wins that lets you play for a chance to enter the next bracket if you don’t win that game you need to win three more for another chance. If you win you now play in that bracket to move forward.
Either option does not drop you back but keeps you in a bracket you can compete with and gives you a chance to move on. I’m sure there are better options as well but going backward is awful.
There is defiantly something to be said for playing with people at your skill level. You may never move beyond where you are until you improve, but to keep going back and playing with tiers of people you have already moved beyond is just frustrating and non-productive. People need to be with players that make them better not frustrated.
Because that breaks the game as a whole. The game is based on the holy trinity.
I don’t think making the healers op in other or all areas is the answer. People need to play in the baskets that help them improve.
So few people would care about that. I don’t care about professions at all, I want to PVP.

There’s class exclusive rewards, like elite sets, so I’m not sure why there isn’t a role specific reward for healers that engage in shuffle.
Obviously they could make adjustments so healers have more agency and probably increased enjoyment but that’s a trickier thing.
lol so is blizzard, at least for a band aid for this.
to fix the issue they would have to rework most of the issues from a class design perspective and they wont do that because it will include balancing pve with it.
Honestly, a good idea. I hope they implement it.
I actually agree, that’s the entire reason I do M+ when I need a break from PVP. Failed to time my 13 key today, didn’t care, cost me nothing. Have a bad night in 2’s? Go from a couple games from my xmog set to 100 rating away. It definitely pisses you off and makes you feel like stopping.
That said, PVP wouldn’t feel very competitive if the guy who has the most play time prospers more than the better player.

Or they could just stop abusing healers and actually give fair gains and losses.

It’s not about abusing healers, it’s a poor game design.
The healers must keep people alive that could care less about looking out for them or just spam their keyboards (me do most damage me must smash). Nothing can be done about that. What can be done is to stop going backward and keep people in brackets so that they can learn and move to the next.
Nothing you can give will stop the frustration of going backwards or keeping players alive that don’t even know where they are on the map.
The way it is right now, the MMR and lack of points awarded causes healers to get hard-stuck below 1k mmr, and then wont win enough to get out … like a black hole.
Then we’re forever pitted against DPS who dont look after us until we quit and never return.

its not based on the holy trinity lol. but i was saying people dont want to heal for some reason. so make damage/healing hybrids sort of like restro shaman is now. but more dam.
People need to stop suggesting cosmetic / vanity / monetary rewards for trying to get more healers to queue rss.
You want more healers to queue rss? Improve the damn play experience for healers in rss…

Agreed, stop trying to convince us to play a miserable game mode that is unfun and has an MMR system that clearly is stacked against us when compared to how it works for DPS.

I can tell you resto shamans don’t need a buff to their damage but I’ll take a bit on my hpal
they could give healers mounts and titles and even some BoA honor/conq tokens
but so far they r pretty silent and seems like they dont rly wanna give them anything else.
