as title suggests, solo queue is causing the arena scene to be as dead as we could possibly make it. there might be 40-100 players in the arena LFG waiting for a healer at any given time due to avoiding the insane solo shuffle wait times. meanwhile the healers are insta-queuing solo queues and not interested in organized play. right at launch, this could NOT be a bigger disaster. removing solo shuffles is probably for the best - I don’t know what your data will show, but there are going to be less players PvPing this season if it doesn’t become playable.
Id roll a healer to help out if they let the conquest be account wide so I can spend it on my main or other DPS toons.

So you’re saying the solution to this problem is to remove the mode of play that healers prefer to play?

we have to stop the segregation of arena players. currently the majority (90%?) are playing DPS and we are all up the creek with no paddle. i think the cleanest solution to ending the segregation is to delete the mode, yeah. healers also enjoyed organized play.
I seem to remember everyone saying they would gladly sit in a 30 minute queue with absolutely no complaints if they removed the tank bracket from RSS.
Lol. Lmao, even.

It might be time for the meta of ranked 3s to adapt. Triple DPS here we come.

Natural selection taking its course fortunately/unfortunately.
A realist, who doesn’t bother wasting time complaining. I like it!

Solo queue is better than lfg for heals. It was already basically solo queue and you never got in voice so what’s the difference?

This is hilarious but I’d be willing to watch. Triple DPS is extremely fast paced for someone like me though
Just like in dungeons. 
If 3v3 with a healer was the Daytona 500 then triple dps would be the equivalent of a 3am highway head on collision.
They need to incentivize healers. Give them double the conquest/honor. Give them 200g per game. Give them stuff, they deserve it.

such a bad take
I assume other healers might have different reasons but personally its because rogue meta is the least enjoyable experience I can have in wow pvp, on par with tank meta.
Healing is simply not enjoyable. The % increase to health was the worst possible thing they could have done. They should have simply tuned down damage instead. Now healers feel weak and with bad class balance and TTK as high as it is, it’s simply not fun to play as a healer.
I would much rather heal regular BG’s. I may in fact grind BG conquest instead of solo shuffle b/c it’s so unenjoyable.

the fast damage makes it really fun to play as a DPS…but the game is unplayable because of the lack of healers lol
they should just add a bonus loot box for completing solo shuffle as a healer, a la the wotlk ravenlord boxes.
like throw in a 1% chance to loot a TCG mount and the healer shortage disappears overnight
