As a healer I find I am completely wasting my time with it.
The recipe is always the same:
Somehow one or another either through comp or skill there is always that 1 train target. All the dps take turns farming and me and the other healer sweat our asses off to keep him alive. In the end there is no reward, we both go 3-3 and get 0-1 point. The other dps get their points! On the off chance, that underdog sometimes get a lucky break, either the other dps fumble or through a good cc chain gets a kill. If it happens on my watch I lose 30 pts if I win I get 30 pts. So in the end I have almost 0 agency. Non stop sweaty games for healers and train the weakest while going full pve rotation for dps.
I think once the shuffle BGs are up I’ll be done with arenas for good.
Seems to be what it is, all Dps W key and healers have to do all the rest, there’s always that 1 dps that is the focus target or just horrible too. Making you go 3-3 unless you’re really good and pull through or get unlucky for a 2-4
yup. there is a reason queues are 30+ min for dps and only 1min average for healers. Not many healers want to deal with RSS. Healing is much harder and for little reward.
my name is healer everything is dps fault i play perfect flawless every global of every game but im stuck 1500 because of noob dps fix healer mmr blizz
It’s humbling to accept 1500 is average. A far higher demonstrable skillset than most of the non-pvp population but amidst enthusiasts it is a lukewarm rating
Nothing wrong with being the rule and not the exception. If we were all climbing all the time the average would rise with us
I don’t think the complaint is climbing MMR more the way the shuffle by design is not enjoyable. I think I would prefer a truly solo 3v3 without the extra rounds.
Cleaning up old posts! 
true that

Na dude you’re wrong. Healing is the worst its ever been right now. There’s a reason no one is healing. Op is absolutely correct. Im a 2100 player and it really feels horrible right now. This push to 2100 im doing and all i fight literally are glad players on alts.
man ur playing hpal with sub 20% crit then saying healing feels the worst its ever been.
Ofcourse it does.
When dps make a big mistake, someone doesn’t die. They have 2 or 3 more goes to kill someone. You lose the round when healers make a big mistake.
Debatable when you could argue that most healers at 1500 are probably making a mistake every other global and the game doesn’t end instantly.
Yea I actually think im done healing shuffle for good. Blizzard just wont do anything to fix the healer situation. every push i try and make to 2100 im gatekept by multi glad players that just have no life and this game is all they play and its the only achievement they have in life. I only recently started posting to the forums in hopes my voice gets heard but it doesnt. Im over it. Theres a reason noone heals shuffle
My Paladins gear is partially from Vault so it’s not optimized but I’ve noticed paladins stacking Mastery and I’ve been stacking crit for FOL procs to conserve mana.
Ur nerfing your spec playing with no crit
No blessings of seasons
And playing with 50% reduced duration sac
Then complaining about getting gatekept.
It’s time to look inwards
You can stack both at he same time
I see I should probably get some crafted pieces, still confused how it all works due to just coming back, but the Rings and Neck stats seem to be balanced and you guys are picking the stats.
Oh yeah 15% Crit is wild low
The fact you think like this is why you’re 1600 after 700 rounds. Mad copium and incredibly wrong.
Especially as a MW with a 489 Iridal. That thing does crazy work at securing round wins holy moly.
Listen man I’m not saying this to make you feel bad but just trying to give you some perspective. I’ve been actively throwing rounds on my monk by fistweaving when I shouldn’t and playing meme talents to try random crap out while playing with the wrong stats and pve gear just to chill while I cap vault and I’m about 1700 with like 90 rounds played. You are absolutely doing stuff way wrong and have a lot of room to improve your play. Like I said, not trying to talk down to you but record your games and watch top players from your class on stream and see how they play. I’m telling you you don’t realize how bad your positioning/rotation is going until you watch a recording of yourself playing and see how clueless you look running around doing all the wrong stuff. Listen to bubblebuddy about the stat priority he knows what he’s talking about. There are people on here that are helpful if you sift through the harshness of their comments to find the advice. Don’t get discouraged, arena is not a simple thing to learn. I still feel like I blow at the game most of the time cuz of how many mistakes I make. Play more 2’s games too. It’s slower paced and easier to get rating than shuffle when you start to figure stuff out (at least up to 1800 or so).
You’re a rat.
