This will solve all the issues with leavers, reduce wait times and most importantly make it significantly less frustrating for healers if they get a lobby they do not like.

And it will destroy all the fun and lead us back to old problems. So instead of that, try to fix the teething troubles of the promising innovation that so many player seem to enjoy.

Have you tried healing in soloq? It is one of the most frustrating things ever, no wonder dps queues are 20min+.
Incentivising healers to play, is admitting that there is a problem, but now without gear progression what would a true pvp player need? Only rating, free rating for healers?
Leavers are now at least less of an issue with the massive penalties that force you to stay. (oh yes if you dc or have an irl emergency, you still have to wait it out)
Still, so far I have around 10% of matches that did not complete due to leavers
I made 5 shuffles today on my fresh alt. The first one I waited for 25 mins, all game after that were between 5-10 mins.
And let us not forget, that solo shuffle counts as 6 arena games. When you add all waiting times between each game together, you will wait for quite some time as well.
But yes, they are focusing on fixing that, trying to make it more interesting to queue as healer. Even though normal 3s isn’t any less frustrating for most healer.
The problem is, healer are asking for more relevance, but when ever blizz is trying to make it more or less healer depending, the comps with most control shine as all they have to do is stun the kill target and cc the healer and win per default. We need to take that into consideration as well!
PROBLEM IS not many healers are playing cuz evoker healer just dominates it. No one is matching its HPS. Its like going to a gun fight with a water gun for most healers. Ever seen the holy paladin healer? Its like they are still level 60.

I haven’t had a leaver, but I’m a frost mage, so I’m probably taking the slot for the person that gets tilted and leaves because the other DPS slots are taken for fury/DH/some other zugzug melee
That has already been proven to be a subjective perception. Based on the solo shuffle ladder, wizards are doing as good as melees do.
100 matches = ~40 minutes waiting for ONE match and I don’t even count the actual time it takes to play one match. = 4000 minutes = 66,667 hours. So you wanna tell me that you sat on your butt for like 70 hours over the “weekend” to play 100 matches? Ok dude…
That is true, I play both disc and evoker right now and disc is super frustrating, I can play well but will just loose on mana in damp because not enough pure healing.
But even on evoker healing is frustrating because dps do weird things
Healers already get guaranteed wins in shuffle. Same thing like the tanks before, limited to prot palas now.
It’s just that they split 6 wins, so if one gets 2, the other gets 4, or if one gets 5, the other gets 1, and so on.
Rating isn’t the issue why healers are lacking. It’s that only 1 class can heal well, survive being trained, and not run out of mana in a minute while doing so. The rest of the healers suffers with these things to varying degrees.
Oh look, someone who can’t play without an ilvl advantage. Who woulda thunk. 
There are more rewards from rated PvP than there has ever been before. Period. Yet the few people who could only play with ilvl advantages, thinks the ilvl advantages was the only reason to play rated PvP.
