i was at 1950cr or something and i still get dps with 0 cr, i win 4-6 and i get like 30 rating, but if i lose 4 to 6 i lose like 50-150 points
is this intended or something?
idk if i should keep playin healer and try to hardpush to 2100 on 3s or soloq or just try dps and wait 40 min long qs. I just want my 2100 enchant and try to hit glad on 3s

No, this is how it works and I have been posting over the past months about it. Blizzard does the least amount possible because they are terrified of caving to any amount of factual evidence that healers are abused in RSS and have by far a much worse deal than what DPS players get for their time.

If you q outside prime time. There is always cr mismatch
While the MMR mismatch is bad, what he is getting at is that healers often win 15-20 points for going 4-2, but lose 35-55 for losing 2-4. Often times healers lose because their teammate didn’t use a defensive when that player was on their team, but then remembers to use it when on the opposing healer’s team. These create an undeniable downward statistical trend healers must fight against, which DPS players are not subjected to at all.

I’ve had plenty of games where the healer doesn’t use their major CD on my team, but will swap/bubble/cocoon/whatever the next round in the exact same situation. Frustrating, but I never say anything. Shuffle healers deserve only praise. <3

The amount of times the queue pops but doesn’t get taken, I wouldn’t be surprised if its a dps and their healer throwing certain games.
The healer is not supposed to throw all available CDs right away. DPS should rotate through them. That healer was probably expecting you or another dps to use their defensive CD. Or maybe he just messed up. When DPS tell me I had this one CD still and did not use it, I look at their unused defensive CDs (usually turtle) and ask them why they didn’t use it then?
More often than not I overlap cds with dps as a healer, I just don’t trust dps anymore.

If you’re trying to hit glad, then you might as well get the 2100 enchant on your way up to 2400+ in 3s.
Two birds with one stone.
Totally just saw this. At higher rating it’s important for me to save turtle for when my healer is CCed and I’m in trouble. It’s a 3 min CD that should be used as a last resort. If the healer is sitting CDs while I’m stunned and they’re free casting, that’s on them. I always use pet sac in stun and sometimes pre SOTF.
Ofc if they’re stunned without trinket I’ll turtle regardless.

Thank you for this info! I’ve been running as disc and I’m not that great but I enjoy the challenge a lot! The most frustrating part for SS has been the rating changes as a healer. I feel as a healer, no matter what class you’re playing you’re working a lot harder than dps are but getting little to no rewards for all that effort.
Just yesterday I was in a SS and someone left at round 3 and I lost 7 points in my rating, like what? And then on top of that, I can go 3-3 and get no changes at all…And even further I can go 4-2 and maybe get 5 points increase to my rating!!! At a certain point I went six SS in a row that went 3-3 with no rating change at all. All that work for no rating increase? That’s frustrating!
Anywho, thank you for the info!

I totally understand you, I’ve been playing my evoker healer in the last 3 days and this is what happen to me…
I get 3 games in a row where one DPS goes 0-6 no matter how much I healed… in one game I had literally 4x the healing amount of the enemy healer… to give you exact numbers 14 mil healing with average 110k hps vs 3.2 mil healing done with average 28k hps from the enemy healer and I still couldnt get a win.
After those 3 lobbies I lost 42 mmr in total, I get the 4th lobby and I win 5-1 and get 0 rating… stopped queueing after.
