    You say beginning of the season and maybe my idea of how this goes is outdated. But the laddering hardly stays competitive for the entire season in my experience. What are we going to do when a bunch of people jump ship because the games are healer versus healer? Meanwhile people will still queue for exp. I don't really see this going well. I'm not saying they should nerf healers. I only asked that you think about it from our point of view as DPS as well, we struggle with the possibility of a bad healer on top of bad DPS partners.
    Laddering gets more competitive I feel the longer the season goes as people settle into their ranks. Some of the really good players may stop playing if they get a good rank but generally there are still good players playing in high ranks up to the end. Start of season is a mess with a lot of new players trying out the mode, and Diamond-level players being in unranked with everyone else.

    Unfortunately the nature of a team based game means that a weak team won't win against a better team. I've had to struggle with bad dps + tank myself, because it doesn't matter how long I keep my DPS alive if they can't get a kill, and if my tank can't support me. Though I admit at this level we do have a better chance if the enemy healer is weak. Becomes less so once higher rank and other healers are also good.

    I'm disappointed they didn't remove EXP from ranked, though.
