I often get the impression some find 'median' play, or people who know the basics and play within the median, to be 'underperforming'. Is there any consensus besides acknowledging things like ice mages and cure 3 spam/no dps heals are underperforming?

Also quick edit, I'm referring only to normal trials/raids/etc, not EX or savage or ultimate where min/max is probably the norm ^^
Underperforming is anyone who is playing without knowing their rotations, not knowing their opener, not using all the tools they have. Which is 95% of the playerbase. 75% of Savage raiders are already trolling with their rotations and it's much worse outside.

Congratulations. You've just reopened a big can of worms that have, thankfully, not been hit by lightning. [Reference to the 1976 horror film Squirm]
Spotted the underperformer LOL
