Why are Healers allowed to be insanely overpowered?

[Gor]

Problem is in Frontline you can be playing VS 3-4-5 or more heal at the same time, you have to OVERFOCUS one, and sleep / stun / Bump others and most of the time you are not playing as a full premade, focus is not that good,there is no CC or every CC is break etc...

just like any other game with pvp. why should Frontlines be any different?

p.s. easy solution. use common sense. you should not be at a flag trying to verse 3-5 healers. when you see that, go to that same team's other flags because that means there are 1-zero healers there thus making it an easy capture; there are 5 other flags on the map you can take. its a no-brainer.

All this talk about people that don't know how team pvp works is making me consider trying to find a group to get a true premade rolling.
Would prolly utterly destroy the frontlines tough unless they meet another one.

IMO there is nothing wrong with Healers in PVP, i think the balance is more about having balanced team more than a balance between individual classes.
If they nurf healers in pvp nobody would play them!
If they had the ability to DPS high numbers as well as Heal then i would agree but they don't.

Oh and this is coming from someone who plays DPS classes in PVP.

allways the same fail with MMO : people want to have every class balanced while playing as a team ^^
I think SE had a great idea to put some restriction on arena setup, having 1 heal / 1 tank / 1 melee and 1 range give some "balance" in wolve's den, at same amount of stuff (with iSynch or not) it's all about experience and skill, even more since they reduce every single CC ^^

without setup restriction everyone would be playing with 2 healers and 2 smn x)

Healers have insane numbers on the roster at the end of a match because overhealing counts towards the sum, does it not? I can easily get 200k worth of healing done by spamming Medica II in the two minutes before the match starts. Every heal registers as a full heal regardless of how much HP the target is at whereas DPS actually have to do damage to something to register any numbers.

So, if you're only looking at the chart's numbers to determine how overpowered healers are, well............

If this is the case, it really, really needs to be fixed. The whole point of the chart is to give an idea of someone's contribution to the team, and overhealing is obviously not contributing a damn thing.

The charts are useless. What'd be more applicable is a listing of each party's total contribution of points from flags they've capped, drones/nodes destroyed, and points from their total combined kills.

It's never about the individual.

Its funny that the solution to fighting 3 healers is run away.

Honestly the only thing those charts do is promote bad play.
People will go after others just to get higher damage even if it at the cost of the overal game.

Did you miss the second part of that post?
Also its called picking the battles you can win. strategy, tactics, that kind of stuff.
Btw, you can win against 3 healers, but it does require some coordination and working together. If you are to incompetent for that, yes run away.

Healers are not OP. Every time I see someone complaining about healers..it's usually when it's more than two healers in a party. Of course they will be difficult to kill..but that doesn't make them OP. Healers already suffer enough in pvp. The tiniest poke will interrupt their cast. Catch a healer alone? You have a pretty big chance of downing them..just due to that.
