And stopped after less than an hour. Healing blows in RSS… Dps are braindead and blame you for all of their mistakes. Gaining rating is impossible because you’re compared to one other person as opposed to DPS who are compared to 3. The main being the ladder. BLIZZARD!!! REWARD HEALERS FOR PLAYING THE WORST ROLE IN THE GAME. GIVE US WHAT WE WANT WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY GAIN RATING IN RSS!

He quit in less than an Hour? ROOKIE NUMBERS.
He’s played Disc, Rdruid, Rsham, and Hpal to over 2k in shuffle. That’s longer than 30 minutes my guy

Its not impossible, obviously. It’s significantly harder to gain MMR/rating as a healer than it is a DPS, no matter what skill level you are playing at. If its not a “healer diff” and I have one bad DPS, the healers are likely gaining no rating. The other 3 DPS (apart from the bad one) are gaining rating.

Sounds like you need to drag the DPS across the finish line harder so you get rating.

He was doing the healer 2400 challenge tonight and ended the challenge after less than an hour. Not doing the challenge anymore. Why? Bc healing is frustrating.

DPSing for bad healers is also frustrating.

If only we could heal through pillars

Pillars or not, doesn’t matter. You can play the game substantially different every round to adjust to individual players.
Healing is the most stressful but most impactful role in any soloq lobby. A better healer should always be able to 4-2 the lobby or higher until you start playing 6 rounds of r1s only. And this is purely because you can adjust to what you need.
I can list off a ton of different lobbies where it should be a 6-0/5-1 for me, and the healer doesn’t adjust his playstyle to the specific match, resulting in a lost round because he only wants to play one specific way and never change.
Healers literally have all the answers and then complain because they choose not to use them lol. Ofc some games/rounds are simply not winnable, it’s going to happen, that’s the nature of soloq, but you still have them

Complete bs.
As a healer if you get lobbed into lower cr lobbies you will not always 4-2 the lobby.
Play better. Short and simple. If you don’t play 1D you’ll win more than 50% of the time, causing you to gradually gain mmr and be able to play with peolpe who can click 3 buttons instead of 2.
There IS a reason why the game at high rating soloq isn’t to find the weakest link and train it. People adapt. It’s a universal skill.
You still gain rating for a healer going 0-6. Thats the difference, and my entire point here. Ya feel me? Healers don’t gain rating if a DPS is going 0-6…

This feels like the,“just line it bro!” argument .
Leave my bff alone 
You just don’t how the MMR / rating system works in shuffle for healers and it shows. You can’t control another person’s character and force them to press cool downs, or stay in your line of sight. But thats completely beside the point.
It should be as fair for healers to gain MMR/rating when a DPS goes 0-6, as it is for the other DPS to gain rating when a DPS goes 0-6. Same for if a healer goes 0-6. Guess what? The DPS are still gaining MMR/rating. So why isn’t it the same for healers when a DPS goes 0-6?
I’m not making this up. Its a fact. Check the numbers next time you play. I’ve played games above 2200 RSS on MULTIPLE healers, and close to the same MMR on some dps classes.
I play both DPS and healers at nearly the same MMR and I can tell you 100% its easier to gain rating as a DPS, SEPARATE AND APART from skill. It’s inherently easier because of the way the RSS point-system is set up.
Goes both ways, DpS get healers 400cr lower also.
Idk getting 2400 on hpal/hpriest was pretty easy especially with the instant queues. I found it way easier to climb on these than on feral druid
Sounds like a whole buncha geeks around here just need to git guud.
it actually doesn’t matter. Bc like I said, if a healer loses every round, you still are gaining rating. If I que into a healer with lower MMR than me, and a DPS in that lobby is just absolutely terrible and goes 0-6, im LOSING mmr/rating going 3-3 for something completely out of my control. Dps are gaining MMR in that lobby.
