The majority of shuffle games that i play, people don’t even try to get cc and do a setup, they just stun target and pve. There’s no outplay, there’s only damage and cd trade.
Which has led to healing feeling less and less enjoyable. You aren’t really able to make an impact on the PvP match anymore because it’s not PvP.
That and you have to rely on your ret pala to press bubble while you are stuck in a fear they aren’t BoS’ing you out of. It’s a problem I don’t see the game fixing.
I feel that game has too much panic buttons too, every class should have a defensive but not 3-4 different ones. honestly they should slow down the game a bit, remove some defensives and buff cc (except clone, give druids another habillity or make dispellable).
Only by doing this, the game would be alot more enjoyable, would incentivize some pvp players to come back and please make a decent glad mount not this uglyass bat.
As an rdruid I don’t think we need more cc, I just want to be able to have hots actually do their job so I can play in my forms rather than being a regrowth tree of life bot because damage is so high that hots don’t heal.
The same can be said about healers getting absolutely outclassed by the opponent and going 0-6. Id argue, its a bigger landslide than a dps going 0-6.
Everyome has impact. If you as a healer are losing to the “dps that doesnt cc and doesnt press block” what does it say about you or your oartners?
Its always the ssme “urrr they play lie trash with ME but against me they are great idk why” says the guy while losing. Gee I wonder whos the common piece in the puzzle.
2 completely different things happen if you are a decent healer or straight up bad.
If you are a “bad” healer you will flop like 30 seconds into the game. Dps is so fast that you could easily go through your cds within the first minute. This is a sign of a “bad” healer. After 1 minute you have no cds, the next go you are done. Or worse let a teammate die if you dont use them. That is completely different scenario if you are a good healer.
But if you are a good healer? What ends up happening is that the game goes on until dampening where your heals aren’t going to make a difference anymore. So what do you rely on? The dps damage. And same for the other healer, if heals are 50% reduced and dps is the same 100% that means dps makes a BIGGER difference than any amount of healings or cds you use.
Being a good healer allows you to continue the game, but it doesn’t make you win the game it only prevents you from losing the game too quickly.
You should try rolling over to hpal for a bit and you will get what OP is talking about. I mainly play ret, but after trying out hpal I have a newfound appreciation for healers in SS.
I mean… not every game specially in rss is scripted. Yea games last longer the higher you go but its due to multiple factors.
I keep reading the same excuses “dps didnt press block, paladin didnt sanc” but I dont ever read “damn I got kicked on my ultimate pennance” or “damn I got JUKED on my windshear and allowed the resto to fully clone me” or “I was very late on my link”. Never not a single healer will ever say they failed. Its always them implying their gameplay was perfect and that id one of the issues. No accountability. Everyone makes mistakes but its only the “moron dps” not doing their job.
Since rss came to the game there have been many games won or lost in a single interactio. And many of those are healers messing up or making insane plays.
