Playing a healer is just god awful this patch. Congrats glads, you got your non-damp super-reactive style gameplay you wanted so bad so 1% of the player base can enjoy arena now while the other 99% of us keep getting zugged in 0.000023490 miliseconds. Old patch was better fight me. Warriors and DH’s also got it way to easy in 2’s and should require 2200 rating to start upgrading. These guys S keying and still get dubs.

Rant over I just hate this direction they are going of “they deal big damage, lets give everyone else big damage to counter it” is pushing me closer and closer to unsubbing. Maybe I’m getting old and slow who knows. The wins aren’t even enjoyable any more and the loses are twice as tilting as before. I shouldn’t be gibbing 70% of someones hp and stopping their heals as a healer in 2 globals. It’s just dumb even from the winner pedestal.

Honestly ret and ww haven’t given me much more trouble this patch.
It’s warriors already being fear immune and getting damage buffs and the fact all a DH has to do is take 20% of your hp and hunt the rest of the way. Now DH may not be as much of an issue once I hit 50k hp, then yea that combo won’t work, but right now its like 2 autos and a hunt and its your entire healthbar. If they setup CC ahead of time and get a healer to free cast on you its even worse, but right now it’s like they don’t have to setup anything. If my flash heals would actually heal more than their basic rotation, we would be on to something, but all flash heal does is either barely keep you topped off from a non-cd rotation or you slowly wittle down until they can CD combo you. Flash heal needs like a 10 to 15% buff since we are buffing pretty much everyone else by that ammount. Basically, what I’m saying, is you have to use CD’s just to stay topped off before they even rotate their offensive cd’s, therefore leaving you CD-less to react to their actual CDs.
Honestly rating shouldn’t be allowed to matter the first 4 weeks of a patch, because it seems like its always some cheese people get to abuse to race to an easy 2100 until it all gets nerfed. No titles allowed until 1 month in, gear sure, but no title, and they should even reset rating after the first month.
Competitive play isn’t for everyone.
People want instant gratification and you’re one of them.
It isn’t competitive when the same thing that carried you to 2100 the first few weeks gets nerfed. That’s what instant gratification is bud.
Calling it now:
DH nerfs
Maledict nerfs.
Also, don’t come at me if you are playing resto/double melee atm because if you are, then you’re an “instant gratification” meta swapper.
The current meta allows S-key players on certain comps taking you to 2k while other comps have to micro-manage everything to win vs those same comps =/= competitive play.
When you focus so hard on the meta at glad level, its hard to see how 2k and below is just a call of duty fest. I don’t even want to use LFG anymore because of how I fear things are just too fast paced for partners at my rating to deal with.
I get it, damped sucked last season for pro-players. I understand that perfect trading and CC resulted in deep damp matches last season. I really believe though there was a much better way of going about it because as a sub-2k player, even if I personally get really good at this meta, doesn’t mean my LFG partners or my sub-2k regulars I play with will be able to deal with this meta like a glad player would.
This stupid trinket was just the most lazy thing I’ve ever seen. I bet they made big cash with that 20 minutes worth of programming.

as much as i agree with you, because its super tilting to want to play X class only to find out its just dumpster tier, i have to say short games are better for the game as a whole.
we probably went too far on the “nerf healing” stuff when it comes to actual healers, but i mean…
this is blizzard they dont make good games anymore

Season 1 was absolutely trash. All healers are viable. I think you’re use to playing a completely busted class.
All classes have a decent DPS spec. There’s nothing better about Season 1.
The only classes that think S1 was better are Paladins and Priest.
Naw, damage to high atm and garbage in S2…maybe when gear comes but atm…S1 definitely better
Do I need these 2 addons if I trade properly and still die thru cooldowns to a DH or a WW.
no just blame ur healer

Nerf to cardinal mending and very very slight nerfs holy received def doesn’t put it in the “this class was busted” category and more suggests “just slightly overtuned”. The problem lies not in holy priest itself but every other garbage going on. I’d almost go as far as saying Hpriest cds just suck atm with the current healthpools we are facing. Also you forgot to think about the fact that losing cardinal mending isn’t “full nerf” because now we run other talents. Technically we didn’t “lose” something, we replaced it.
Also I’m pretty sure blizz’s balance decisions attempt to balance around “max geared/glad players” so these first few weeks are always some garbage dumpster fire fest and certain class/comps getting way higher rated than they should actually be. There should be zero S-keyers in the 1800 range when people were just QQing about not being able to hit 1400 last season when even then, 90% of 1400 players weren’t s-keyers.
You’re overpowered, stop being in denial that you are some “good player” when in reality its just over tuning/dumb mechanics. That’s like me saying “oh yea I’m such a good hpriest cus I MG/maledy someone to death and they didn’t gladiator level react interrupts”.
Also, why did warriors get damage buffs, just why? I understand that the nerf to overwatch could have been bad, but straight damage just makes losing to them feel really bad.
Yes DH needed buffs, but if you were going to buff them the start of 9.1, then you could have given everybody another 10k hp off the rip.
Also people tend to forget that things like cardinal mending MAY have not been overpowered for 9.0 since blizz knows 10% of 30 to 40k is about 3k to 4k, with new health pools it would be even higher. Without knowing blizz’s feelings about things personally, its hard to say if cardinal mending was overpowered last patch, or simply it was only intended for last patchs meta and not 9.1s meta. With the removal of it and balancing around "50k"while we are still in a 30 to 40k meta could actually be an unintentional side effect. I really wish blizz would hold out on some nerfs/buffs until we get to a stable gear frame.
I am the healer. Tried blaming myself everytime and it doesn’t make much sense.
