Bug or Intended? Healer reward/points in Battlegrounds - Calculation?

Valagash

May someone can enlighten me. With the introduction (and now working) of battleground outfit token I started to do more battlegrounds with my healer. But I don t understand the calculation behind.

Yesterday I played with my buddy together a death match. I healed our allies in total for 1mio health and was placed on 3 only. And the fact why I was on 3 is because I "sneaked" 2 killing blows more as the 4th member. Yes we won the ground, and I got the daily reward and so on, but I don t get calculation behind. I had the lowest death and of course highest healing done.

First member of our team had 3,5k points, second 3k me 2,5k and fourth 2,3k. What I m doing wrong or missunderstand in the system? Ok sure, we clearly won because we had a healer in the team, but you ll get much more points and rewards if you are n DD.

So what the point behind, or what do I miss here?

Off-Topic: same counts for the new board in Cyro with kill 40 player quest. You don t get the kill counted if you are "just" healing, you have to kill them. Otherwise mehhh...
(but strangely: this is only if you are in a group. If you play solo - everything counts)

Is this a bug or just no love for healers in PvP?

Cheers

If you don't tag enemies for assists as a healer in deathmatch, you score is going to suffer. Healing someone that kills an enemy doesn't seem to count as an assist.

You don’t heal to get on leaderboards, you heal to win the battleground.

Sometimes you can do both though, damage + off heals/support.

Drop down a damage AoE in the thick of it. Switch to healing bar. Heal and reap the assists.

I personally run a charged ice staff with wall of elements to snare enemies for my teammates to finish off.
