This new brawl/bg mode on an arena map is not fun for healers, so they’re not doing it.
also if someone leaves queue you basically get put in the back of the line instead of the front
Already got my cap for the week on my healer, not going to do another match.
Tired of being stuck 1400-1500 despite being 2100 a few times on healers in the past. Tired of getting zugzugged. Tired of losing on mana to Rdruids and Evokers. Tired of dps being extremely toxic towards healers.
As long as SoloQ is like this, dps deserve the long queue times.
you fully capped in an hour and 20 mins since server reset?
Welcome to healer instant queues.

After some thought last week I decided to unsub and wait a few months to see how they improve the experience for healers. If they don’t, no sweat.
I could do 3s but meh I’ve done that in other expansions and I like the general idea of shuffle…just want to play it instead of being CCd the whole match by all the new CCs.
The dampening seems higher than it used to be? Idk but I’ll just play something else and keep an eye on the patches.
When i queue, it always pops up right after the sec i started queue, lol.
Yep, you can cap on a healer pretty quickly without the 30 minute queue times.
Too bad there is literally no reason to keep playing a healer once you get your weekly cap though, unless you like being zugzug’d 24/7.

Yeah and I normally fill the whole honor bar for 3’piece within 1-2 hrs, less with wins.

Yep, too bad “honor and conquest quickly” is not a good incentive for healers to play. Need to make soloq something healers actually enjoy instead or you just get people who cap and dip.
I am firmly in club cap and dip right now.

Seems to be the most inflated and easiest to climb, so it seems decent for those without a dedicated team, although I guess it depends on goals/interests.
There’s a lack of incentive for higher MMR 3s healers as their only real carrot is r1
Trying to heal 1400-1500 MMR soloQ feels harder than doing 2.1 in 3s when I did it in SL.
Maybe it is inflated and easier to climb as dps, but not as healer. I have multiple healer friends who are struggling and multiple dps friends who are crushing their old personal best ratings in this mode.
There is a pretty clear difference in how inflated it feels for dps comapred to heal right now.
lol, literally no reason to play arena this season if it is not Rdruid or preservation. Only interested in farming pvp mount and elite set , then gotta leave pvp until next patch.
Feels like too much of an uphill battle for me to ever get 1800 in soloq with the way it is right now on healers.
I will probably just do it in 2s with a friend instead where it is not concentrated tragedy and suffering.

Idk, most of the time they never go healer in my matches. Not saying the healer experience is good; your teammates LoS, no one kicks CC, most forget to put their defensive abilities on their bar, etc…
Just stick one high mobility melee on a MW all match and watch their mana evaporate.
Had a game where I put the enemy Rdruid into multiple full sap->stun->sleeps as mw, he never got a bash cyclone on me but I just kept losing on mana.
