[Battleground] Equal amount of healers & tanks for both teams

[Wilcox]

I recently joined the server, I'm mainly into playing battlegrounds. Sometimes, your team has 1 healer and the other team has 6 healers. With your team being filled by the average Joe, you end up not standing much of a chance - because the average Joe does not focus targets, he attacks whatever comes in his way.

You already choose roles when queuing for instanced zones, be it pve or pvp. The algorithm could work like this; make it so that when a healer joins any team, the next healer joins the other team, and therefore the amount of healers is equalized. Same could be put in place for tanks. This automatically equalizes the amount of dps aswell. Not only the current state potentially kills any incentive players might have towards pvp, it also encourages some players to insult the server and its staff as a whole. After all, it takes only one bad experience for us selfish humans to entirely dismiss something good.

(ps: before any smart people out there yell at me "PLAY HEALER THEN!!!!", I already am.)

Hello Wilcox,

First of all, please keep in mind that I'm only a Helper and not in charge of actually deciding something like this, I'm merely giving my comment about your suggestion.

A system like this is supposedly in place on Blizzard's official servers since 2014, however, even there it often feels like there's no system like that at all, mostly due to technical difficulties in regards to how WoW's queue system is setup.
You can read more about it here: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/12673197386?page=4#post-63

Ultimately I'm afraid that if we were to introduce a similar system on our server, we'd face the same problem as Blizzard does.


Best regards
Sarah
