Why are healers almost always higher xp than dps in any given shuffle lobby?

Something I’ve noticed, the healers are almost always higher xp/skill than the DPS in almost every shuffle lobby, yet playing similar MMR. Why is this? Doesn’t seem right

Healers have their own mmr pool with a wider range that allows them to be eligible for more lobbies.

Also healers in general are marginally lower than dps, perhaps due to fewer players in their unique little mmr pool.

This.

It’s kind of messed up imo that this is still the case. It’s an extra reason for healers to not want to do shuffle :frowning:

Ye. I always just assumed they didn’t have any sort of knob to adjust healer mmr. Or maybe it’s just because healers are more likely to get 3-3’s off the sheer extreme amount of dps from 1500 to 2500 who show up in greens and go 0-6.
