Not a single word from Blizzard

… about RSS queue times and the supposed Healer incentives to decrease queue times. It’s been almost two and a half months since RSS came out and still not a single word… Extremely disappointing!

You would think that a feature so many players are participating in and excited about would get some improvement but nope, it will be half a year before anything is done…

Honor is useless.

Conquest is useless.

They can only offer a bit of gold or augment runs without risking it being exploited.

Shifting the meta or pacing around so healers have more influence over their teammates survival is difficult.

One month of game time per round healed above 1300 MMR.

Seems fair.

Is expecting a bit of innovation really too much? It is a really sad state of affairs that they can’t even make a post stating what direction they are leaning towards as well as what type of ideas they are entertaining.

I’m just saying that it’s a tricky thing to address long-term. Like, if they add a mount for winning 100 rounds as healer then that’s a bit of a temporary fix but doesn’t truly change what’s unappealing about healing shuffle.

Honestly, at this point, it should be pretty clear that there won’t be a silver bullet solution that will fix it all. Even a temporary solution is better than no solution. When the novelty wears out, introduce another one. the absolute WORST thing they can do is nothing, and that is exactly what they are doing… Absolutely nothing…

I would say the worst thing they can do is give in to a situation where a minority player base can threaten the company to get their way.

No communication is the blizzard standard. Buckling to “Give it to me or I quit.” is a slippery slope to the death of the game as a whole.

Give them a holy broom mount for 1000 rounds as heals.

After seeing what happened with the Trading Post, maybe we’re better off if Blizzard doesn’t try to change anything.

Oh give me a break. No one is saying give it to me or I quit. I am sure people just quit eventually without complaining because they get tired of waiting. All I am asking for is more communication.

Maybe x amount of healer games gives some sort of account wide dps priority queue.

Maybe I could help you click the “arenas” button at the top, and look at the spammed threads by people insisting they’re going to quit if they’re not given more more more for playing the same game as everyone else.

When your first response is the nuclear option, nobody takes you seriously. There’s no communication necessary because the immediate threat of “GIVE OR I QUIT” is on the table… and that’s not a healthy environment anyone wants to participate in.

The reality of what’ll happen is the forced deprecation of the healer role in RSS. They’ll just let people play without you, and your queues will be the same as theirs.

I’m sorry. You do not deserve anything special for playing healer. They have already given you overloaded toolkits to set you up for borderline infinite survive.

If they make the incentives to big people will just afk bot queue.

I feel like it’s a rock and a hard place and Blizzard will just be forever stuck trying to figure out how to improve it.

They have been buffing healers in every patch.

What I don’t understand is what they did to holy pally this patch. Very strange choice to make melee wings cost 5 holy power and nerfing reckoning when holy pally was already underperforming in a healer drought.

Lmao they can’t even address the fact that healers can’t climb at all.

You want to give me some mount? Lmao.

How about you remove dampening, remove drinking, give me CR gain/loss per win/loss, and enough survivability that I don’t die in an opener.

I did a few games last night on my Druid and it was a joke. Everyone is pumping insane dmg and I’m literally spam healing the dps and they still die.

Are you joking? Pal still can’t heal through the dmg.

What buffs are we talking about? I do 5kdps while disc is pumping 30 with better CDs and healing.

Everyone with 4pc is doing insane dmg.

I gave up on PvP it’s poop

What version of this game are you playing?

Are you running some kind of random emulation off your windows 95 machine?
