Y'all need to understand something about healers and burst damage.

I am tired of the misinformation and hate thrown at healers from people who don't understand this game.

At the same time this is a bad thing to put in healers heads. Highest rating i've hit is 2355. Going back down to sub 2k and finding an 1800 healer is horrid. They feel like no matter what they do, their only job is to heal, and if they die its Dps fault for NOT peeling. As the majority of my games were 2100-2250 im no pro. I would say thats slightly above average for arenas, i have a better understanding for the game than an 1800, if i try too help the healer better understand what hes doing wrong, or not doing at all, they just instantly get mad because their job is to "los while healing, and dps job is to get them off me"

The better way to word the title is "Everybody has equal responsibilities in arenas including healers" Its like pve, unless youre doing something easy, your tank is just as important as your heals, which is just as important as your dps. Nobody is more special than the next, you BOTH need eachother.

TL;DR Both healers AND dps have equal challenges and requirements to win, nobody is more important even though at lower ranks many healers seem to think they're 99% of the team in importance, but only job is healing.
