The Healer Problem in PVP

[Takatsuki]

As I said plenty of times, the whole system is flawed, people are barking at the wrong tree.
Healer balance is where it should be, a good healer can carry games and bad healers get punished for being bad.
If they dont put any depth into the any of the classes kits then people get frustrated because they feel like they lack impact, that's the problem at hand.
You cant give people 9 buttons which all do jack in the grand scheme of things.
If you people desperatly want to blame something for you being unable to get to a decent winrate blame the lack of skills that distinguish good DPS players from bad DPS players.
The whole new feast design is a mess, everythings garbage, but you can still easily climb on any role if you are outperforming others, instead of blaming heals for being broken, blame this utterly disgusting mess of a pvp system, that should have never left development in this state.

I think you got it right there. A good healer should "carry" games meaning it should make it easier for the team to win if not outright securing the win. But having a bad healer shouldn't mean the entire team gets punished, that's the problem right now. No matter how good the rest of the team is a bad healer will always make them lose, not like other games where chances are slim but still there (which creates hype as shit moments of clutch wins like past seasons). Saying that good healer gets rewarded bad healer gets punished means you are not thinking about the core of this pvp mode, TEAM.

Why am I punished for having a bad healer while my other teammates could be good? Why are 3 people punished for one single person playing arguably the most important role being bad? I've carried 2v2 matches in WoW when my healer died because I knew how to play my class against the opponents. I know how to play against classes in this game, but I just can't hurt them because healing+shields are so stupidly dumb without Crits or autoattacks. Why does it feel like my role doesn't matter AT ALL because my healer isn't performing?

Because you got bad luck in your PUG. Requeue.

To start being matched with good people you need climb your rank to Gold and then people will be less clueless on average. Sure, it isn't easy but nobody expect it otherwise. I decided to punish myself and go for healer and it is hard but will continue improve myself at it, until I get decent and can switch rank.

Nobody born pro and you learn NOTHING from guides if you don't go in arena yourself and (try to) apply what you have read. So expect noobs in the unranked. A lot of them. Including my healer.
