Horde healers in PVP

[Rekk]

So I've done a few bgs on my frost dk and its really fun, but when the alliance team has 3-6 healers and we have 0, how is that balanced? And when horde side does have a healer its 1 and they are never to be found. Has anyone else experienced this.

[KeirAdish]

I run into the issue all the time where my Pally healer is the only healer on the team when I que alone...
btw...
I'm alliance...
Its just you get unlucky with your grouping...
happens to both sides not just horde ^-^
(Happened when I was still horde too)

Every group/faction has the notion that the enemy has more healers / smart people / whatever.

Then you roll the other faction and you complain about the same things.

It's fine really, if you feel that every game MUST have a geared healer, play one yourself. It's actually rather fun in PvP.

Idk if you're on US or EU realms, but on the EU realms, i'm usually having the same problem... Exept the horde is having a ton of healers, and alliance 0.
And i play alliance T_T

[Deleted]

When I play alliance alliance have no healers.

When I play horde horde have no healers.

If blizz doesn't fix this soon...

yh.... pretty much that.

Depending on the BG and the type of healers you have, having 3-6 healers can really be a disadvantage. Sure, it makes their FC hard to kill with 3 healers, but it also means that they have sacrificed a large portion of their damage due to having too many healers. I usually have 1-2 healers per BG, which is fine, but I played one round where out of the 10 players, 6 of them were healers. Needless to say, we lost. Less than half the team could do any serious damage, and if 3 dps focus a player, they will die. It may take longer, but they will die. Or you can just run the healers OOM, fairly easy to do to some classes.

[Malgru]

If you have 3-6 healers, your dps never die. Neither does your FC.

That's the problem he's saying. That there are 3-6 dps who never die. Plus a tank.

When I play alliance alliance have no healers.

When I play horde horde have no healers.

Ever thought that you're the problem? Haha.

Anyway, I play Disc so my team is never without at least 1 healer.

[Charvie]

I've got a fully geared disc priest on horde, and its 50% win with me.
If you get a good team, you have people that peel for you.
when you have an average team, you have people that dont question why you did no damage.
when you have a team of mouth-breathing-retards, by the end of it, as a healer your like;

When I'm healing random Resource games, I often get left alone at nodes, and because I refuse to abandon a node entirely, I'm normally there for a while. Ad to this the fact that it's often times a node like Gold Mine that no one wants, and you have me there alone for most of the match. So I stay and help by giving direction to the team in /bg. In every one of these scenarios without fail, some asshole chimes in and tells me "look at your heals on the meters, stfu up l2p"

*facepalm*

40 millionth thread on this topic.

RNG is random bro

[Slavemaker]

how is that balanced?

Seriously.........?

Why don't you make a healer and then queue up for Battlegrounds?

[Kreeshak]

I just want to add. that if the opponent team has way too many healers, and our team none, it can be a good thing. If the dps on our team are geared and relatively skilled it can lead to an extremely easy win.

I get similar, but i'm usually left alone and then flamed when i lose the node because i've been zerged by 5 players on the other team. I just geared my paladin in RBG's last week and it was the most annoying thing i've done in a game in a while. Most DPS have no common sense. You'll have one run out of range in one direction, then another will run out of range in the opposite direction. I never understand why people chase off players and abandon the node. MUST...HAVE...ANOTHER.....HK.....

Back on topic, yeah i'm often the only healer in RBG's, but it's the luck of the draw. There's times when 4 out of the 10 in WSG have been healers.

[Brutes]

I rarely have a healer on my side and Alliance usually has tons of em. But I still win the majority of the games, and can still have a blast despite my team being bad. When I see my team has very few or usually no healers I just pick my tanky spec and go for kills, or camp nodes, U might not win, but u can still gain that little epeen by winning the scoreboard.

I play Horde, and lately it seems like I have been losing almost every battleground that I have been in. My death knight hit 85 this week, so I decided to track my win/loss since I dinged. So far, I have won 9 bgs and have lost 52, a winning percentage of 14%. I've even tried playing at different times of the day but ended up with the same results. Two different times I had losing streaks go over 10 games before finally getting a win. I'm not one to complain because I remember a day when I hardly ever lost playing Horde, but I feel like my sample size is big enough to not just be 'bad luck'. Anyone else noticing this? I will say though that the Alliance almost always has more healers from what I've seen so far, especially in CTF maps.

I play horde and I would say my win ratio is about 55-60%. When I care to premade it rises much much more.

[Fagnut]

I have seen many games where one side had no healers and other side has 2+. The side with no healers wins.

This is because it depends on the individuals that make up the team. Not who has healers and who doesnt. I have been in games where i had no healers on my side but the players were smart, targeting healers.

Victory was ours.

So. RnG is RnG. You can get good players and turds. Thats what random bgs are really.
