Victory is based on the number of healer in the alliance.

Personally I'd rather battle a premade with voice chat than face seven hour queues standing around while the game tries to match me to an equally-weak random team. 1v1v1 and multiple objectives means that there is usually a counter for an overwhelmingly organised team especially with the much-needed nerf to cometeor. If both other teams start acting like headless chickens and feeding the dominant group that's mostly their own fault.

I don't know how things are on the English-speaking realms but on ours a team of random inexperienced DF people with a good, experienced leader talking in text macros is overwhelmingly strong compared to a team of identical players with no leader, so blocking premades would make very little difference against the 'issue' of well-organised groups dominating.

And if healers are nerfed even further nobody will ever play them in FL again. It's very easy to overwhelm them now with their lack of counters and AoE tools when you're on the attack.

Unfortunately, so few know what they are or WHY they have that symbol and players actively discourage active combat in lieu of objectives, so we get to run wild.

It rewards people for sniping the last hit on an enemy player. So certain jobs - especially ranged and those with DoT effects - benefit far more than those who are more melee focused. I'm leveling SMN at the moment and get battle high unintentionally just by throwing DoT spells on random targets and playing it safe.

So that moment I focus an enemy healer and 100-0 them is me stealing a kill on someone? Or perhaps when an overzealous melee won't back off so I lure them far enough where their healer can't reach them or they los heals and counterattack? OR perhaps when I see someone's made a foolish mistake like jumping down to the ice from up high, all alone with my team already there? OR when I just simply outplay someone? All of that is just sniping last hits?

Please. You might get it unintentionally going after random targets, I get it regularly and frequently through skilled gameplay.

That's why I prefer playing healer with my FC, anything else otherwise.

If you queuing FL by yourself... Yeah maybe healers mean a lot

But if you run with a premade that all players (includes you) good at Pvp, the win rate will be around 85% to 90%
It's easy to carry a game with 8 players know what to do(i.e. Kill all people in other teams lol)
