BG queue needs to respect the healer role

vadritox2

Playing a BG in a team without a healer vs an opponent team with a healer is an almost guaranteed loss and waste of time if the players' skill are roughly on a similar level. Especially in 4v4, a healer makes a GIANT difference. Yet the queue system never respects the role, in all my matches either there's no healer, or only one team has a healer (what's funny is that I remember MORE matches in which my team had 2 healers and opponent had 0, than matches in which there was 1 healer per team).

if there is a healer in a match it's waste of time regardless of which side he is on

Why not disable cross healing?

@Freez6661 I truly don't understand what makes people think this way. Have you done many GROUP bgs at all? Organized team combat instead of just the randomized solo queue system?

When there is a match between two solid/organized teams, each containing 3 dps and healer, or maybe 2 dps, a tank, and a healer, those matches can be incredibly fun and rewarding. PVE elements can 100% be incorporated into the PVP system. This is what makes theory crafting so much fun. Have you ever gotten slapped by a team running relequen?

Your lack or respect for different roles makes me think you are missing a fundamental part of the game.

This mentality of group roles not being "allowed", "respected" or "accepted" in PVP is one of the HUGE issues within ESO PVP culture in my opinion. Let people play the game how they want to play.

Yeah sometimes it can be frustrating if you are fighting an annoying healer. But that just means that the healer is winning and accomplishing THEIR goal. Don't be a sore loser just because you can't get a kill. (maybe you need to look at your build some more...)

if you're not running a healer in a premade then you're not really optimized. playing as a team, with everyone having their own role and playing selflessly is pretty rewarding. the healer provides extra buffs and allows the damage dealers to focus on dps rather than healing themselves, so they are by no means uselss. even queuing as randoms with 1 healer you can get close to that level of coordination, the other players will quickly recognize they don't have to focus as much on healing and can just focus on killing the other team.

i agree that the game should respect the healer role for bg queues, some people like playing set roles and not everyone prefers playing a self sustaining build. you don't want to queue for a bg and have 4 healers, while at the same time its more beneficial to have at least 1 healer.

funny how people hate playing as a team in an mmo.

this wont make a difference in BGs, where your only talking about single teams of either 4 or 8 players, as cross healing is referring to healing outside of your own team
