This would be a simple change to make and would benefit the player base and queue times.
Remove the shuffle aspect from shuffle but still let people solo queue this would put you in to a 3v3 game with random dps and healers like solo shuffle does but instead of being locked in to play 6 games of 3s you play just the 1 game this will allow players to queue at a much faster rate speeding up queue times by atleast 5x and not keep players locked in for too long less time for toxcity when things dont go well and more time playing the game less time waiting.
Faster queue times will also encourage more people to want to play also decreasing the queue times considerably.

Simple way doesnt exists. Healers wont play that stressfull bracket with dampening on top of that…

Well the shuffle part is the stressfull part if they remove that and do what i suggest above this will be the solution to fix the problems.
Long queue times raise the stakes and also playing with players you may not get on with 6 games compared to 1 game makes a huge difference and saves a lot of time
queue times would reduce to 5 minutes or less if you compare that to the current wait times of 20+ minutes
Players dont play it for the shuffle aspect they play it because they just want to play the game this solution allows players to get in and out of games at a much faster rate and will add more available healers and dps at simmilar mmr to queues speeding up queue times for everyone.
U think damp is unfair the biggest problem is that healers have insta q pops if they dont wanna play alobby they csn simple int grief and afk cause u know what they get insta qs.
Saw that alot and untill healers dont get punished for that the game will be bad
Yes exactly this is 100% the solution to fix the problems hope blizz take this on and implement this
Maybe don’t act like a complete dumbass to your healers then. More often than not the ones that bark the loudest are the ones responsible for the loss.
To op: bad idea, would make balancing even worse. Just make healing not completely obnoxious and you’ll have more healers playing

Solution 1 make healing easy and more people will start playing healer in shuffle.
I tried it and i like it a little bit but after 10 lobbies it becomes exhausting. It requires a lot of focus.
Solution 2 allow people to solo Q the existing 2v2 and 3v3 brackets.
people can already do that its called 3s and 2s solo queue is for a player that just wants to click queue and play
How do you make it less obnoxious?
Healling can feel bad in solo because of rating gain/loss issues having the game just be a 3v3 that people queue in to with the simple winners gain losers lose ratio would make things a lot more simple aswell
Maybe they could make one season completly without healers. We healers can easily adapt on dps. Then perhaps damagers realize how are some specs without heal completly disabled…
making all healing classes viable, making outplays feel rewarding and buffing healer mmr by atleast 200-300 flat would be a start

They should make pvp play like it did in BFA Minus the tank trinkets etc
BfA was pretty terrible too though from start to finish

How would this change anything? You would just trade a 20 minute queue with 12-18 minutes of gameplay for a 5 minute queue with 2-3 minutes of gameplay.
With those numbers you would spend even less time playing and more time waiting overall.
You would need ~3 minute queues to have the wait time/gameplay time ratio we currently have. ~2 minute queues to make a significant difference. Even skirmishes can’t provide 2 minute queue times.
The only solution is to make more healers queue.

yes thats right exactly what you just said much better for the game.
And this would allow dps players and healers to queue at a much faster rate.
Thats the main reason, the sad truth
Lol its almost as if people never even wanted this abomination of bracket. Everyone wants to play regular 3v3 but without LFG spam.
