Uh, I think it’s a combination of both skill mismatches (due largely to no healers, and blizzard wanting fast games) and that skill gap bein exacerbated by healer imbalance. The healers are not only way way off in terms of balance, but the skill cap to be good on some of them are way off. So while two healers can be ranked S tier by everyone doing rankings, one is faceroll and one isn’t.
Now at some level you have to say “well then they should reroll” yeah they probably should, but we’re the players, and we pay Blizzard to manage the game. I think they’re mismanaging PVP and sadly that has to come before I yell at other players.
I don’t have the data either, but I know people. And I’m putting money on this: If they make it harder to stop getting dumpstered, because Blizzard balances ANYTHING, the end result will be that people stop healing. Which is bad considering the system currently requires them.
I read frequently that healers even in PVE are doing poorly right now. If I’m blizzard, I’d just allow for 3v3 dps because they’re running the risk of botching the whole thing.
If the matchmaking were better I’d agree with you. But if an 8 year old is up against LeBron James in a freethrow competition, I don’t think there’s any “getting better.” And you’re just not going to do it if every match is DPS screaming at you because you’re the immediate kill target.
