Been playing arenas for a long time, Solo shuffle is by far the most toxic place for healers to go to. DPS don’t peel, healers get blame for everything, you’ll lose rating due to simply rng nature of it. I enjoy 3s as a healer and main healers, but man I’m over solo shuffle as a healer. It’s atrocious at best

Yeah, it can get bad.
When DPS swap teams, I sometimes hear them insulting the other healer, and then I end up defending the other healer.
Why didn’t the other healer heal you? They were locked down in chain CCs that nobody stopped.

Press ur cooldowns dude
According to these forums if youre annoyed in solo shuffle it is;
-100 percent your fault
-You should be better
-You shouldn’t be affected by toxic players
-Any complaint you have I will use to make myself seem better than you
-Solo is a meme bracket therefore your complaints are invalid
I could go on but hopefully the point that these forums are useless for any complaints got across 
. P.S I agree with you for many reasons.

Funnily enough I’ve actually gotten way more abuse from 3s than shuffle.
0-2000 mmr 3s is basically the same as shuffle, but with extra annoyances like having to sit in LFG, people stuck at 1800 mmr with massive egos from sl glad, people quitting after 1 loss, etc.
The vast majority of people don’t want to hop on voice and you’re just at a massive disadvantage against people on voice.
Had a hunter kick me after he tanked the whole team’s initial burst without lining or pressing a single defensive CD while I sat a stun/trap opener.

Lost a match and had a DPS screaming at me because I couldn’t keep him up against ret/war when they both were getting cleaved to death and not popping defensives or attempting to kite.

Same here lol.
Personally for me,
Been playing arenas for a long time, LFG 2s/3s is by far the most toxic place for healers to go to. DPS don’t peel, healers get blame for everything, you’ll lose rating due to simply rng nature of it. I enjoy solo shuffle as a healer and main healers, but man I’m over LFG 2s/3s as a healer. It’s atrocious at best
It’s toxic for everyone? I get healers that don’t heal or trade CDs and just death after all your own defensives are used. Tons of healers that pop a defensive on you while you’re in an immunity, too.

Don’t think you can stop folks from getting emotional when there are winners and losers for points and the fact you can blame strangers for it without fear of consequences outside of the game.
And yeah the reality won’t always match the issues brought up haha 
Solo is a meme bracket therefore your complaints were prekicked 9 months ago.
As someone who currently plays a healer and multiple dps specs in solo shuffle, I can confirm that it’s more or less equally toxic for every spec.
It might seem more toxic as a healer because you get more queues maybe, but overall, it’s toxic whenever you are losing rounds.
If I die in a single round as a dps, it’s an all but guaranteed “bruh”, “this f****** x”, “you’re trollin”, “this x sucks”, “how are you y rating”, “tunnel z, they suck”, or some other generally toxic comment.
The healer toxicity usually comes if it looks like you will go 0-6 or 1-5.
In general, whoever has the least rounds won is the main target for toxicity regardless of spec, and I think this is mainly just due to the instinct of people to look for a scapegoat as fast as possible so that they can rationalize their own gameplay as being flawless/near flawless.

I feel bad for them for sure.
I will say though that some of the healers in SS can’t heal to save anyone’s life. Sometimes I have to off heal so much I can’t play my role as dps. I love wasting Static Field and Binding to peel and then end up a sitting duck when the enemy team swaps to me. A lot of healers have no idea how to play.
Its the best as disc when my team pillars at 60% dampening at 30% hp and refuses to do any damage until theyre topped up
The most toxic people in shuffle are always healers, because they get instant queues. The most toxic shuffle streamers, all healers. They will throw matches, not press any buttons, not do anything.
Haven’t queued in over 2 weeks since I reached my goals. Decided to this morning to gear a new healer with boxes and medals. Welllllllllll, 4 matches, reported in 1 because I Told the warrior riding the glad Mount “nice job lining your healer the whole round” as he died half way across the map. 4th match the ele whined and called me and the other healer “1600 healers” while we were 2k and he was 2200 as I went 3-3 and he went 2-4.
Yeah shuffle is a joke. I’ll queue more because I need tons of conquest for boxes but chat will definitely go off.
Just remember its always the healers fault 100%
yeah man I was in a shuffle where every other player was rank 1. I was on my alt pally. I was told I was garbage for going 0 and 6 to Meep because he’s 15. even though I’ve never even been gladiator and was on an alt. I might be bad but it’s gotta be a match making issue. yeah dude I’m complete trash because I lost to a rank 1 player -_-
6 rounds for solo shuffle was a mistake, should just be 1 round then q next
would be 10x more tolerable for healers

Well maybe try to assist your healer and we won’t instantly throw games, If I notice I’m being run down by melee cleaves and my 2 ranged have not used a single cc I’m out of that game. I’m not sticking around to support people who don’t support me, if u cant press 1 botton to cc an enemy training me as a healer, I’m leaving the game. Yall make Solo Shuffle so fkin toxic
