feast ranked question

[Zojha]

There are actually less healers than anything else

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.

"Vibrant" is not an adjective one would use to describe the PvP community...

Pretty sure his sarcasm was directed at the PvP community being Vibrant, not that there were enough healers in it.

A mystery that will perpetually remain unsolved until the author clears things up.

Personally, I'll be giving a person who regularly visits these forums the benefit of doubt to know that healing is rather unpopular in the Feast. And while it may or may not be intended, there's a juicy irony between feast players telling someone (the OP) to stop healing, the advice to comply to that, the fact that healing is the least popular and the claim that the feast has enough healers already. It lines up very nicely to a sublimal message that feast players partially have themselves to blame for the fact healing isn't popular when they tell people who are trying to get into it to stop healing - a message that would require the knowledge of healer popularity. And could such a message be intended by the same person that once wrote this?

I love how the PVP community simultaneously whines about queue times, and that new players dare to queue up in the first place.

Could be coincidental. We'll neeeeeeeever know.

Oh yeah my bad, I forgot to go digging through the guys post history before replying. Silly me!

I'd say if people complain about you queueing up as a healer, then just don't queue as healer. You'll have a lot less stressful time as anything else, and I'm sure the vibrant PVP community has enough healers already.

Healers have instant pops and melee and ranged have long ques. Everyone is waiting for a second healer to que, the match will not start without him.
There are more than enough healers in PvE, but nobody wants to heal in PvP because of constant toxic environment, and even the best healers are flamed and insulted for everything even if it's not their fault.

[TiramisuMacaron]

Don't generalize, I don't queue my healer sometimes because I can carry harder on melee and ranged. Healing at a high level is super stressful and on our datacenter the skillgap isn't that huge minus 1 or 2 healers. Better to just play melee, relax, and carry. Letting someone die and getting "flamed" for it rarely happens after you've healed enough. When it does happen, it generally comes from the b4b popping ninja. It seems as if you had bad experiences and just assume everyone has had the same experiences. Even when I picked up healer at 1300 and dropped alllll the way down to 700, I rarely got flamed.

Maybe a Chaos thing, the pvp community here is super agressive and toxic. They shittalk everyone in their discord nonstop.

That just about sums it up! Sarcasm to illustrate the irony of the situation.

In all seriousness, one could play on less stressful classes and pay attention to what the healers on both teams do, and what orders are given about healers to learn some things about how the role is played without being told to uninstall the game or kill themselves.

IMO the level of toxicity declines as your rating goes up. I got death wishes at the start of the season but so far very few people are actually toxic towards me.
The only one in the past week was this DRG at the end of the match, we had more medals and all we had to do is retreat to our base (censored version):

BLOOD FOR BLOOD
ELUSIVE JUMP (into enemy team)
TAKE ME LIKE YOU'VE NEVER TAKEN ME BEFORE
-A few moments later-
"Healer?"

About Discord and trashtalking... How much you care about it is really up to you, boasting is pretty normal in PvP communities.
And hey, if you can't beat them, join them. You gotta show how good you are and how horribad everyone else is you know? 5 years from now it'll still be relevant I'm sure.

[Chevronone]

Ignore them. Keep queuing. Feast upon their tears.

But on a serious note, ignorw the salt. Majority of avid pvpers have been on both the receiving and delivering sides of salt...we just carry on and see them on our team next match and pretend like nothing happened. :3
