One Healer is worth more than One DPS; So why does the queue pop with imbalanced healers?

I just joined a battleground where there were 4 healers to 2. We lost massively.

Like, i’m sorry but.. You made healers better than a dps in BGs, so why can you not keep them balanced?? You’re throwing us into games where we are at a huge disadvantage, and it is just boring.

If a dps is worth 1, and a healer worth 2.

When you start a battleground with uneven healers, it is like they have more members on their team. Why does this basic concept go over the developer’s heads?

The “matchmaking” is only “balanced” in one way - being split between 1-50 honor level and 50+ honor level into separate brackets. Unironically bgs feel better in the 1-50 honor level range as there are next to no premades, and feel more like BGs felt in the past. At 50+ honor level matchmaking you’re still paired with absolute gearless brainlets that don’t know how to play their class and think they can cap a node while they are in Divine Shield. And unironically, people in the 1-50 honor level range have more of a brain.

We lost a couple of Blitz rounds because the healer left/frozen/bugged/whatever and 1 healer vs 2 is pretty much a windmill fight.

If WoW were a chessboard, DPS players would be mere pawns, while healers would be the towers and queen…

And thats what i don’t like in modern wow. Healers are god mode once they have the same gear.

Them surviving 5 geared dps players when they have healing reduction and getting interrupted is NOT right for me.

Give healers mobility and allow DPS to actually be able to kill them.

Thats the exact issue specifically with Disc Priest. They can be CC’d, easily and have literally no mobility/escape. So they have to be Tanky. Blizz would have to change Healers fundamentally.

I honestly thing if they get CCd and all that, they should be dead, like every1 else already is.

Before you put some smart / AI foplowed sentence think about healers can easily swap to dps role and enjoy 90min que time with smile, you as dps canot do same :smirking_face: Ye make game more miserable for tanks/healers and in few months you will fight rouges vs rogues in blitz….

Well..thats the issue. It isnt even close to this ratio. More like 1:5, especialy if healer have a gear and atleast mid skill then its gg even if 5ppl massaging him. They are so unbeliveably overpowered without dampening that i honestly think they ruin the casual pvp play. But they can be op and slide under the radar because nobody wannts to play them and ques take ages without them.

Its also the same fiesta when your team gets undergeared healer vs geared one..you may aswell take your flag at start and bring it to them…

Yes they certainly can be overpowered especially holy or decent monk, But as you say who wants to be a healer, especially since they are usually get the first blame game. Some is dps fault for not helping heals. and not targeting heals or using CC on them, its also when those groups in discord get a big advantage.
