I agree, they're not helpful.
But so far I think that interview is the only one with questions asked about healers. If you look at the other interviews (which I'll put under this post if you're interested) there weren't any healer oriented questions asked at all. Another outright asks a question and states "...setting aside healers..." and never returns to healers.
This is all we have so far as official statements on their direction, so I figured it'd be nice to share,

The lack of questions and any healer mains at the Media Tour really has me bummed. Feels like this role is being purposefully ignored sometimes.
