Is there truly no way to incentivize healers? Blizz…come on. I sat in a queue 45 minutes, got up to use the bathroom and it popped. I queued again and 41 minutes later… nothing. Im going to bed irritated. I had a couple hours to kill and i literally got to do nothing. This feels awful. I want to play but can’t. What is this

I feel the only way to even remotely address this would be a modifier to honor or conquest gain that expands to alts. Just an idea, but i think if Joe average player knew he would get a 20% conquest buff for his alts, maybe a timer depending on rounds played… i dont know.
I just know this is absolutely killing the desire to play of at least 4 of my friends and me as well. I cannot imagine we are alone.

It’s been suggested before, but why not just copy + paste Overwatch’s priority queue?
Complete a solo shuffle round as a healer and be rewarded with one account wide priority queue as dps where you skip the line (besides other dps doing the same).

Are 2s and 3s removed from the game?
but solo shuffle will save wow pvp but that villain that is lfg
DPS deserve to sit in extremely long queues because they are the only ones enjoying shuffle at all and they can do it with the brain of a goldfish

Because healing sucks right now and nobody wants to go through the headache.
Why bang your head against the wall trying to gain rating when you can play a dps, wait in queue and STILL have an easier time climbing the ladder?

If you want faster queues, reroll a healer. It won’t going to change until more people play healer. If anything it will keep getting worse as more and more casuals and PvE players use it to dip their toes into rated.
This ain’t it chef.
Yeah it’s a bad combo that some things Blizzard can fix while others they cant
things like :
- making all healers enjoyable
- normalizing the outlier
- better incentives like gold
- better-looking mogs
can all be fixed by Blizzard with some effort?
but things like
- DPS playing like bad bots
- toxic remarks to any healer learning in RSS
- DPS toxic mindset thinking they are above reproach b/c they got for the 1st time over 2.4k due to RSS being easy and can now insult anyone
- players afking on purpose to throw games
is a player issue and Blizz cant fix that

Honestly lets just start with the gold for 3+ wins as a healer.
Give us the equiv of a dungeon in gold or something.
They have gotten worse at balancing over time so thats out the window

The fact that we went through an entire season of healers suffering in shuffle just for the resulting “incentive” to be a box with a Medal of Honor and worthless random bg potions in it is laughable.

Healing in shuffle sucks. Needs big brain fix that will most likely take time.
Quick fix and Easiest solution is to DRASTICALLY increase rewards in healer boxes. add items like reputation token, bind to account conquest and other mats from other activity that takes healer mains from queueing shuffle .

Our schedules are all different and they also dont play very often. We are all old players kind of on our last leg of WoW lol.
I mean…somewhat. if i find someone to queue, it lasts 3 or 4 games and they log and then i have an hour search for another 2 games, etc. Its pretty bad.
My favorite social contract friendly insult when I’m tilted is “I’d ask if you guys are bots but I’m pretty sure a bot would be playing better.” Healing RSS is giving me brain damage.
