Developers : Healer design mentality needs to change

[Vickii]

And this mindset is why we're in this endless cycle of things becoming dumber and dumber.

Healers are bad because they're either new or can't be bothered to improve --> oh no we need to make them more accessible --> Healers become "more accessible", easier to play and significantly more boring --> people are still bad --> repeat
There will always be people who can not be bothered to put even the absolute minimum effort into playing their job at an acceptable level, you could give them a healer with 3 buttons titled "Heal, Group Heal and Damage" and they would still die, not heal and do 0 dps.


At some point you need to stop making things "more accessible" for them because it will never change.

Nope, sorry but I disagree.

I have been running normal dungeons and the healer is wiping to mechanics. Over the past few days healers have ruined several otherwise would clear runs.

How does ‘give them more buttons to press’ help? It’s just going to make them even worse.

It may not, and that's the point - to weed out the bad. If you can't bother improving to a bare minimum, you're doing yourself - and others - a favor by just...not playing the role. That's not to say that every subpar healer should up and quit, there's a big difference between someone that's genuinely struggling yet trying to improve, and someone that just doesn't want to - the former will eventually get there, the latter will not.
