I keep getting vote kicked as the healer in heroics. I almost have 2 piece tier, but it’s hard because I can’t raid and keep getting kicked, so Valor is slow.
Should I just quit the game and uninstall?

Do you want to quit the game?
If you’re looking for a reason or excuse to quit the game, this could be it. “I gave up my hobby because I read into the behavior of some random people on the Internet, and decided that they thought I wasn’t good enough.”
It could also be, “Some random people on the Internet thought I was good enough, and I decided to prove them right.”

No, I like healing in Cata, that’s why I made this post. I’m asking if I should quit as a pragmatic thing, like would I just be better off in life not even playing?
I don’t have time to wait 30 minutes every time I get vote kicked randomly from a Heroic.

Yes, quit. Better for you, and better for everyone else.
DPS don’t wanna CC, and tanks don’t wanna wear shields or defensive stats. So they vote kick healers until they get one with so much gear they can keep up with the huge incoming damage.
The system is definitely being used to abuse some people for the slight convenience of others.
Mob rules.

Pugs don’t deserve my energy.
I have more fun healing 2s in arena on my disc priest, not gonna lie.
Easy peasy conquest gear.
You can disenchant conquest wands for maelstroms ;0
You are doing something 100% wrong then.
I am currently running a test w/an alt. all greens except 2 blues and 1 purple (zero tier) and been running him like that for the last 5 weeks. I have (as of last night 14+K in unused Valor points). I am going to continue to run this experiment until the end of Cata. Not a single kick, not one. Tanks are allowing me to stop and drink (with a few exceptions I have on ignore now) but no issues.
What should be happening is you are healing less as dps/tanks are now geared up and surpassing Cata dungeons. So I am not sure what you are doing that you “keep getting kicked” but a few things come to my mind:
- You are not healing correctly, or you are continuing to heal like WoTLK
- You are making this up and it is not happening.
- You are being toxic, disruptive, not paying attention, AFK’ing or something else.
- All of the above
No idea which but I’d say this is 100% something you are doing if it is (as you stated) a continual thing.
Nothing needs cced in heroics… ever.
I’ve not seen a single instance where a pally or warrior were trying to tank and did not have a shield in heroics. You’re literally making stuff up lol. As far as defensive stats. I’ve seen a FEW tanks just getting into heroics have SOME items that didn’t have defensive stats on them. But at the end of the day, heroics are laughably easy and it’s not hard to keep them alive at all.
If you’re getting vote kicked ALOT it’s a you problem. As I said before. I’ve done plenty of heroics as a healer just in crafted pvp gear and had no issues at all. And you don’t get much worse than that as far as gear goes.
You people who are constantly getting kicked as healers… I hate to say it, but you’re just bad at the game or doing something to cause the kick. Usually being toxic.
God damn it dude, not this again…
YOU WIN, have the thread, lmao.
Just stop telling lies it’s as simple as that.
Not entirely true, if your group lacks kicks, it is good to CC healer mobs depending on the dungeon.
Just burn them like every group does. NPC heals dont heal fast enough to matter. As long as you target them, they die almost instantly, then move on to the next healer in the pack.
I’ve never seen anybody in cata hard cc a target in heroics or normal dungeons.
The air dungeon with the cat people does.
They heal for 80ish% per heal and can get a cast speed buff to do that heal every 1.5 seconds.
So if your group lacks a kick per healer it can get difficult to kill anything without CCing them.
But for the most part yes, CC isnt needed.
Every group has AT LEAST one kick “Every tank has one, some of them have 2”. And even then, it’s not needed. You just burn them first. They die fast enough that it’s a non issue.
We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one though. My personal experience is that it’s not needed. Yours may be different.
Unless you’re a pally, you can queue as caster DPS and get the gear which works for healing too. Even as pally they would let you roll on offspec unless the healer is also a pally.
Work my butt off healing because tanks are using random specs refusing to be tank spec, dont use correct gear and just que. Had an unholy tank and arms warrior tank other day. Another warrior tank had intellect gear. Dps won’t get out of garbage on ground and pull random enemies. Yet healer is always issue
What level?
maybe the healer role is not for you. Are you getting any kind of feedback prior to those kicks?
People are always blaming the healer but you need to be able to distinguish between peoples general laziness (“Bah, I stood in fire and died - why are you such a bad healer???”), unique freak situations and your own lack of performance. I dont perform great on every pull but I have my baseline and when i recognize that I ve been genuinly bad on a pull or fight I can admit that.
The base question is…are you a good healer or a bad one? If you are a bad one, you should simply stop filling that role OR try to identify the points that make you bad and work on that (could be addons, your bar set-up, rotation or using your abilities correctly)
You cannot only take the vote kicks as your only feedback to make that decision but you also shouldnt simply give up because you got kicked. Chances are you ve ran into 2 or groups of elitistic jerks in a row.
I dont know you, when you type “keep getting vote kicked”…has it happened more then twice? In a row?
My first thought to your post was “grow a thicker skin”. if you are sensitive to toxic behavior in general then you should either only play with friends/guild or just quit the game
Have you figured out why you’re getting kicked.
Are you sure you actually play the game ? Because shield tanks can’t even do dmg without shield.
Cc and defensive stats are nice but not mandatory. But I would fall asleep on my healers if the groups are so. Are you sure you enjoy playing heal or just want to have heal priveleges on short queue time and easy raid invites ?
I got kicked twice as healers.
Once was a chicken tank cant pull more than one pack so I helped him to pull more. But his ego was so big I guess.
The other qas a wannabe BDK, who kept dying and blamed on me. I was v2k by him but he also got kicked after a new healer came (i knew because I joined that group on my BDK, lol)
