make dps specs self sufficient, remove healers and tanks from pvp
First off, no.
Anyways, you’re forgetting that PvP is the red headed step child, and PvE would first have to lose tanks and heals. Blizzard hasn’t been the biggest fan of excluding people from content based on what they want to play, and I tend to agree with that myself.
no it wouldnt the whole point of the post is that healers and tanks are inherently pve roles more than dps, theyre tuned wildly differently than dps are, and much fewer people play them
pvp being dependent on people playing a role that is barely played, is part of why participation is so low. Vast majority of players pick DPS and if they could que competitive pvp as only dps que times would be much faster since the pool is much greater and no ones waiting on someone to fill the barren role of healer
similar to how healers complain about healing being so stressful, but for years tried their hardest to get dps self sustain nerfed into dirt so that their role “felt more impactful” all it did was make it more stressful
Yeah, healing ain’t easy. So what?
This is like asking to remove goaltenders. You know these guys make insane plays, right? And it’s hard to do.
I feel like you missed this part. Fewer people playing the role doesn’t mean it’s in everyone’s interest to remove it entirely.
Also this is a slippery slope. Class homogenization is going to be hysterical if we go this route.
Just play a FPS at some point.
No. It’s an MMORPG.
No thanks. I like comps and comp synergy. Wow is the last MMO and if you don’t like the genre that’s fine, but the game is more than just arena solo queue.
No.

You’re super fried.
Should rename yourself to Charredpills
I think a case can be made for shuffle being dps only, healers hate the mode and dps enjoy it since it feels like it was basically made for dps. Queue times ruin it and making it dps only would solve that issue better than anything else. They could then add solo/flex queue 3s for the 3s bracket.
Outside of potentially shuffle though I dont think removing healers is good at all. They are integral to pvp, and again outside of shuffle the role makes perfect sense and feels good to play against and with. This is assuming shuffle doesn’t get reworked into a better solo queue mode for 3s itself.
I feel like this guy has only ever played Todd’s Adventures in Slime World on sega genesis and then called video games quits altogether. This is the first game he’s picked up since 1990.
Game would turn into low quality slop more than it already is.

Remove the solo queues from the game and force people to group with a proper comp, we don’t want the solo andy comps
