Want more healers in Solo Shuffle? Nerf Melee

Played 3 rounds, went 15-3. 1900 mmr and I’m done healing already. It’s miserable that these mongoloids do nothing but run at me. Only caster that I found annoying was Spriest. Besides that, melee are anti fun. It’s not enjoyable to play in anyway. The melee I’m facing are horrible our I’d probably die instantly.

Healing really needs a large buff, honestly. The big stamina increase they added shortly before xpac launch has indeed made healing miserable. You could be freecasting and have every cd going, your target can have all their defensives popped, and they will likely still die. It’s not SL one-shots, but instead it’s just a slow downward spiral, lol

Healing just needs a buff, nothing to do with melee or casters being op.

I assure you facing double demo or double shadow is equally annoying as facing double dh.

Are you telling me you don’t like doing 40k HPS through ironbark and icebound and still have your DK die to a fury war?

smh

It’s the combination of 15% cc reduction. Too many gap closers. The worst games are when there is a Disc Priest who Mind Games me at 20% and I just die. There’s literally nothing you can. At least remove the CC reduction from trinkets for melee.

That’s an unbelievably cooked solution

legit comical the disparity in skill floor between caster and melee.
azralonian mongoloids running at me every single game? k cool i think ill leave at round 6 out of protest, and then i might hop on an alt and do it on that character too :wink:

Be out of line of sight before you get stunned

This is a team game after all (this is why soloq sucks) have your partners stop the mindgames

If you’re 20% and the enemy priest casts mind games you’re supposed to lose. That’s working as intended.

Poor baby lost a game and can’t handle it

Don’t think your acerbic personality is going to improve things.

Healing just feels too low, tons of damage is going out, there’s a pretty big power disparity between the healers, mana bars run out too quickly for most of the healing specs, dampening feels bad, and there’s a ton of instant cast unavoidable ranged CC this expansion. Overall it feels pretty garbage atm to play a healer.

I usually am, then I’m waddling like a fool and the Priest has no problem catching me. They usually don’t kill me the first one but on the second I’m done.

Healing seems 100% fine to me against Hunter/Rogue/Casters. It’s literally global deaths that I’m dying to from DH/WW/Enhance, paired with permanent slows from Fury/DK. I do not get a second to cast.

Don’t think I asked

Don’t think I care. :wink:

L2p issue. Sorry you lost pvp game hopefully you recover

Its called dampening hitting 35% 1 minute in to the game. Dampening has existed since mop as a bandaid fix for arenas going too long and class balance being dog.

Blizzard and the community have sat there and taken it as an actual solution for a decade now and suddenly everyone wonders why healing sucks balls.

It sucks because you zone in and are on a ticking time bomb of disadvantage while playing the same already difficult game that everyone else is playing without that glaring issue impeding them.

The fact that dampening has existed for a decade now and is not the first thing to get removed in a brand new xpac with all this revamp happening is absolutely insane.

Except I’m winning still. It’s just toxic and no skill to literally run at a healer.

Sure, but people still die in under 3 seconds so the stamina buff didn’t work either.

It actively worked against healer tuning for pvp, lol

N-no, no it does not. Healers already are gods in pvp. You can open up full bore with 2v1 bursting to kill a target and a single healer can easily keep them up.

Healing is so strong that if you dont manage to kill a target during your opening burst via CCing the healer, the way you win is via attrition and stacks of the healing debuff.

Would you rather have to run for you life as a healer or sit 20+ second cc chains while your friends die or a combo of both. One of the 3 is gonna happen no matter how strong or weak healing is. Cant handle that well every healing class just so happens to have a dps spec for you to take a break on.
