No, it isn’t the DPS players who play bad.
It isn’t the lack of MMR and rating rewards.
No.
The reason is right here on this screenshot - https://imgur.com/a/ZFCSLUW
You quite literally have 0 chance vs a Resto druid.
Zero.ZEEERO.
25% of total healing by NPCs that are being spawned.
More than 50% of the rest of the healing by INSTANTS.
I’m a patient person, I rarely flame people for dying like donuts.
But when I’m literally playing against a backpedalling Resto druid spawning NPCs and chasing me half the game to Cyclone me, and nobody ever punishes that, no thank you.
There’s a difference between losing because of your DPS teammates playing bad, and you having literally 0% chance against braindead enemy healer design.
I’m not going to bother panic faking interrupts for Precog so I can cast a Flash heal that will heal less than a broccolli npc next to the Resto Druid.
Fix your game. Nobody enjoys facing the BM hunter equivallent of a healer.

Why don’t you gear a Rdruid mate and join the brocoli gang

Because that contributes to the problem, it doesn’t fix it.
Life is too short for that mentality
The whole game is busted let’s be honest, have some fun

30minute queues aren’t fun either
Don’t care. I’ll let the robot Rdruids compete with eachother on who has better stronger pokemons that do bigger green numbers

Kinda find it a bit ridiculous how I need to constantly cast on hpriest and deal with all the interrupts and dps players lining me while on rdruid I barely have to cast anything (and if I do it’s either cyclone which isn’t a heal or it’s regrowth while standing behind a pillar because someone thought it’s a good idea to make it heal through los).

Meanwhile my Healing Stream and Healing Tide-totems get oneshot by sneezing on them and don’t actually replace my active healing output. Not that I’m upset about that but I don’t think that resto druid needed more passive healing either…
There’s nothing to do, just move on and hope next season will be better.
3v3 is the only bracket left where you can actually win against this complete abomination of a healer spec.
Did some 2v2 earlier to help some random LFG guy get his 1800 Rival real quick, we did get it but it took facing like 7 different 0 iq Warrior Rdruid comps. Peak game design at its finest. Don’t wanna touch that bracket again till end of season either. I’m not the biggest 2s enjoyer anymore, I used to be in Shadowlands but that’s long past, but come on man.
Playing 10 minute games cause some guy literally has infinite healing and the other guy has infinite mobility, CC and defensives lol. Same for Rdruid Windwalker or Rdruid Survival comps. I know some people wanna be sweaty at 2.1 with that crap to actually push rating, but it’s now everywhere.
At least in 3v3 you can get some good CC rolling and kill the stupid druid. But sometimes you can’t and it turns into a 10 minute+ game as well.
Anybody who is unable to push rating as Resto Druid right now, please reconsider Tetris as your main game, jesus christ this spec is bloated and broken. If your excuse isn’t " I’m facing better Rdruids than myself and they beat me", get out of the kitchen
Healer balance swaps around all the time and wow players are now more FOTM rerolling than ever, lets just say I dropped my resto shaman main early on in DF
About 2500 games this season as Rshaman
exp:
2860 multi Rshaman
last season: 2500
this season? hard stuck between 1900-2050 back and forth.
Tried a little Rdruid
Played 6 hours instant 2k, and that’s on learning the buttons. Imagine if I had the same experience on Rdruid as I have on Rshaman.
I can’t compete on my Rshaman to Hpala, Holy Priests, and Rdruids, the game is so much harder to heal, and keep up with the other healer.
I love how nothing is being done.
Can confirm, 2.7k+ glad xp healer, if rdudu decides to do nothing, sit back and heal, there is 0 chance in ss to win. It just outheals in damp.
Flawed design.
Dead game is dead.
It’s not even the damp that much.
There’s other healers who are good in damp but they simply don’t work so easily.
For example Caster Mistweaver can have the same PvE healing as Resto druid, difference is you get kicked once basically all healing stops and somebody dies. You get CC-ed once all healing stops and somebody dies. Or worse - you get kicked into a stun and YOU die 
(MW can’t port stuns while kicked for those who don’t know).
I don’t know what is this nonstop Blizzard agenda to keep adding minions and pets and deployables to every class. It’s profoundly annoying, screen clutter, slowly but surely making PvP closer to dungeons…
It started with the reduction on CC, but maybe even earlier, they just want to balance all the game content based on DPS/HPS output so its easier for them.
Soon enough the top M+ Heros / Mythic raiders will be also the Glads. You just do your rotation and get stopped every 20 seconds by a small cc but keep spaming pve and win eventually.
This is why rdruids and mw never deserve to be good, because every time they are it looks like this. Afking max range and auto-winning by doing nothing because they have the most mindless design imaginable. And now with the broccolis it’s even worse.
Can’t have specs that don’t need to do anything, and thus never open themselves up to be punished for mistakes. Horrible to see backpedalling rdruids that you barely can punish anyway. Same can be said about dps specs btw, e.g. ele and demo should never be good for the same reason.
do you think BM shouldn’t be good either then? Barbed shot seems to be their highest dmg on my details when I see them and that’s a bleed no?
How is it any different really?
Yea that’s why I said “e.g.”, but BM for sure belongs in there. I don’t think any low effort specs should be good. Basically anything that wins if it can do damage and not die, without needing any other game plan.
I see I see
I don’t agree however. I think you’d take a lot of dps specs out the game 
DH bye, Fury, BM, Demo , maybe assa rogue , probably others
BM is the same. In general every single DPS spec which can continuously spam damage nonstop regardless if being focused or not, and being tanky enough to never have to run away is bad design.
So yeah. When a healer can do that too, it becomes problematic.
Resto druid used to have one counter, that being purging. That got denied completely with the antipurge talent.
No other healer comes even close to how unfun it makes a game look like. Look at this fat list of interactions that result in annoyance, hitting your desk or just literally shouting at your monitor:
- Being forced to constantly switch on targets without HoTs because otherwise your damage gets outhealed if you keep zugging 1 player
- Melee pov: You try to hit the Resto Druid, he drags you behind the pillar while camping bear form, Bash > x3 Cyclones > optional x3 Entangling roots and Vortex
- Dot classes pov: YEP ALL YOUR DAMAGE IS COUNTERACTED BY HOTS. You’re doing 70k dps but nobody’s health bar is moving
- Melee pov: Druid is close enough to Cyclone you, but not close enough for you to stop it
- Any DPS pov: you try to kill the Resto druid, JK barkskin auto frenzy bear form
- Healer pov: already mentioned it on the first post
- Polymorphs? Nope
- Repentance? Nope
- Slows? Nope
- Roots? Nope
- Root beam? Nope
- Pets? Nope, heres a mass entanglement
- You used a defensive or was given a defensive? Here’s a delicious Cyclone to nulify your uptime while being safe
- Trying to hit my Caster teammate? Heres a Rake into Bash into Vortex into roots, enjoy your time
- BROCCOLI SKILL ACTIVATED
- Think you’re winning on mana? oh no what will I do JK I meld drink to full in stealth
- THORNS THORNS THORNS
I mean if that isn’t toxic design idk what is
