I’ve been playing this game for a very long time, and the amount of toxicity that people are spewing at healers in arena this season is just god awful. Healing in DF season 1 has been just down right awful. It is no wonder the dps queues are 20-40 mins, people aren’t going to heal in this toxic cesspool. This is getting like League levels of toxicity right now.

I have had multiple times where a dps will blame a loss on a healer; they get into a scuffle, and then each round they get matched with that healer; the dps afk’s that round.
I hate how toxic it is now. You have high ego people that just ruins the game experience on every bracket.
Blizz should just disable chat during Solo shuffles.

Tbh, jokes on them since they waited 40 minutes to do that, while the healer can just insta queue right back in.

Well, that dps is gonna sit there while the healer plays 3-5 more shuffles before he gets a pop. Also considering how often the verbal abuse or threats of afks from the dps going 0-6 occur I doubt the healer will even remember them, lmao.

Well for some reason when I get thrown in the healers are usually 200+ rating lower than the DPS, and I’ve had a lot of matches where a healer starts out AFK after accepting the queue for 2+ rounds.

I’ve seen lots of healers be toxic as well. You just need to have a strong mind and not let others get to you. Just remember if someone is saying anything to you it’s because they’re frustrated and looking to blame someone. That’s a weak mindset that will ultimately get them nowhere. Just focus on your goals for the game and let them wallow in their own misery.

Every ban has felt like a holiday wondering if i should even use my second account to keep playing. Constant bans while copping abuse all day, any response blizzard tells you to cool your jets for a month.
I find this super weird, as it works both ways. Sometimes I’ll be placed 200-300 rating higher than the dps (along with the other healer), and sometimes it’ll be 200-300 rating lower. Two very drastically different experiences mind you. People jumping to africa and doing their best to get themselves killed, vs people using things like reverse magic on CC from you lol.
Yeah, you’re meant to block and report.
its why i stopped healing this season after 13 years.
Negative healing due to insane damage. negative experience due to negative players

I have never seen the toxicity this bad in PVP, been here since 2004.
idk my random dps are usually pretty nice to me tbh, but i avoid arena altogether lol

Id like to see people fight back when they are attacked rather than demand more control from Blizz.
Just fight back
In chat? No, do not do this.

Meh idc, they’re literally hurting themselves. Can discourage people from healing all they want they’re the ones sitting in Valdrakken for hours.
The day i get offended by some angry pasty nerd losing it over a video game has yet to come.
I do it all the time, but some of these guys are so fragile that they pre-emptively ignore you before harassing you.
