Has Blizz made any annoucement on how they are addressing this? There has to be a solution. I love RSS, but man these queue times are killing me.

There is no viable (non game breaking) solution. There just aren’t enough healers who play the game. Thats not an arena problem or a wow problem, thats just an mmo problem in general.

Well…FFXIV had this issue as well. They completely rehauled their PvP system. Made a new objective based game mode. New maps to go along with it. Made it 4v4 and not require healers and gave all classes potions and baked in self healing into their PvP abilities (that only operate that way in PvP queues). Their queue times for their go-to arena style mode are much much faster now and people are really enjoying it overall.
Idk if that is what WoW needs too but whatever is going on clearly isn’t working anymore yet nothing is changing.

We don’t talk about ffxiv here. People who think WoW has too much damage going on would super not be able to play ffxiv’s pvp
For sure. The difference is that there’s much more CC in WoW which helps slow down the game.
Wow would still be slower even without CC.
Samurai Limit Break on ffxiv can (and very often does), quite literally, oneshot the entire enemy team.
Theres no counterplay to an ability that does 60,000 damage baseline and bypasses all damage reduction and only one class has more health than that (Warrior) at 63,000
Yeah lmao. I’ve been on the receiving end of that. Or MCH randomly proccing their one shot. xD I do hate that about FFXIV PvP. Super silly.
I mean don’t get me wrong, not having healers and everyone having their own healing/absorb and a 5 second 90% wall on a 30 second cd is pretty cool… but damn damage is way unbelievably overtuned in xiv.
And ffxiv has RDM. Literally only caster ive ever enjoyed in a video game
We were promised incentives for healers.
No more healing until we get our incentives!
Woah woah woah… Let’s not be hasty now…

Somehow I’m sure the rss bracket will continue to function with one less level 50 paladin

Yeah, lets discourage people from healing RSS. That’ll help.
The solution is dont flame your healers even if they didnt play perfectly. Get out of the bracket on your own by going positive.
Like, if youre a dps and its clearly a healer difference, all you have to do is win one game with that healer to go positive. (Ratner than flaming them)

Look, I get that. I really do. But I honestly want to know how to play around healers not using major defensives like incarn, ironbark, pain sup, link, etc?
My Que times are basically instant. Are you sure your queing right?
Yeah, nerf damage output lol. Healthpools bounce around like ping pong balls and games are over in <1 min. It’s ridiculous no one wants to heal that crap.

You have to queue as healer, then it’s instant.
Disc Priest is basically a third dps that can heal so try that.
That’s just not true.
BoA conquest boxes for when healers are needed as reward. It can be sent to your alt and counts towards vault. I’d bet a huge chunk of people would heal to gear out their alts or make their vaults cap more quickly.
This doesn’t give you priority queue on your dps, further adding more dps into the queue. It keeps you playing on your healer more. Does absolutely nothing to game balance what-so-ever.
