If so what is the reason?

There isn’t, but something still seems off imo. I get that a lot of people are doing blitz, but everyone I know is doing both and queueing both at the same time. MMR still seems low, but maybe it is just because everything is spread thin.
Regardless, if such a small decline in participation means MMR is shot, then something needs to change of they need to be more aggressive with inflation.

In RSS there is a soft cap. The reason? 3s player cried that there bracket is dying. But that is just my assumption. I don’t really know why. Makes no sense to me!
There is no cap in 3s afaik, but participation is just incredible low.

Which bracket would be the easiest to hit 1800 as a healer? Anyone know?
The popular mode, so Blitz. Just keep in mind that the first 20-25 games or so may not adjust mmr very much.
Isn’t more RNG dependent than shuffle? Trying both at the moment. At what MMR people start acquiring brains? Just started TWW about 3 weeks ago.
Depends on the healer. MW is busted in Blitz but pretty average to below average in arena. Not that you can’t make it work, but if your aim is 1800, MW and Pres are amazing in blitz. Disc just after them. If you’re mainly doing arena or RSS, disc and pali are good.

Just watched a 2100 Rogue get 1v1’d by a Prot Warrior and say there was nothing he could do because he trinketed his blind.
So maybe like 2600?

Is that due flag carrying? I’d agree is so in WSG but if team don’t kill efc before stacks get high I feel pretty squish.
Yikes seems pretty high. So I’d assume is just about clocking in the hours until 1800 hoping for a decent team.
Yeah, just press queue. Ideally with a fun dps buddy that offers some objective control. 
I thought Blitz was just solo queueing 
No, healers can queue with another player of any role.
FC and just general mobility. On WSG they are unstoppable if they get a port up top. Between ring and jade lightning, they are really tough to close to as well.
But even on node maps, they are able to get out of the fights really quickly and support someone. Same goes for mines. While a priest and shaman might be stuck dealing with a DK, a monk is halfway across the map hitting another cart. Same goes for pres.
Wow, that’s OP, almost feels like cheating.
Top chap, good tips, tyvm.

RSS has crazy participation though and has much more lower ratings than dead 3s.
I believe there was a hotfix/blue post mentioning that RSS ratings are capped to be more in line with other brackets
So there is either a bug there or it’s just overly-aggressive?
Where you that prot warrior Kennie? That prot warrior being mean to that 2100 roguee?
Yeah, but not the one that killed him.
lol prot warrior is no joke. Fun to heal, though. Great to heal.
