    That feeling when the queue is twice as long as your game.

    They queued a team of Masters+ level players in Unranked Draft, had to wait for YOLO queue, and then stomped a team of people who were way out of their league with a comp designed to run it down a lane and win as fast as possible.

    We were practicing some of our deathball comps, enemy team snap picks Qira and it kinda looked like the rest picked their heroes out of bitterness for not getting to play Qira.

    Like, hammer stayed in bot lane all game taking out towers while we pushed top. Medivh didn’t even leave boid form but once or twice.

    Deckard is kind of meant to be helpless in combat, it's part of his core concept. For him to be shooting laser beams out of his staff or something would feel weird, he's not actually a mage.
    If the "fantasy" of a hero is to be shit, it's bad design. Deckard is the worst healer right now. At least let him weave some autos into fights so he's not total garbage.

    This is dedgame, so Blizzard needs to step it up and do something.

    i mean i would argue that the thing making deckard shit is not his lack of ranged auto attacks

    healers don't really want to be autoattacking anyway unless they have a talent that provides them with a benefit for doing so (like Anduin) or if that's their whole Thing (Tyrande) or if they're one of the aforementioned Beefy Bois (Khara, Rehgar, Uther, Stukov)

    but in general healer AAs aren't really worth the trouble, usually.

    Giving him range would make him better in a more compelling way than just turning him into a better healbot.

    Weaving AAs is absolutely a higher skill level benefit. 1k+ damage can be the difference in a close fight.

    You would be hard pressed to find many healers who can do 1K damage in AA during a teamfight.

    Deckard absolutely shits out damage with seal of stone curse too, damage isn't his issue.

    Brightwing, e.g., getting off 8 autos in a teamfight is not a huge ask.

    Sounds like it's one of his issues for the 15 levels before he gets that talent, then?

    How about a skin where he's using Lili's staff instead of his own that lets him become ranged?

    anyway, real talk: unless your healer has autos that are Actually Good, they're just meaningless chip damage.

    meter padding, in other words. it's not a meaningful source of damage especially compared to say, their skills. i highly highly doubt that e.g. 125 aa damage at level 20 is really going to mean the difference between a kill or not

    TTK is so fast in this game that such low meaningless chip damage doesn't really matter. doubly so when healing in general is just so strong.

    If your goal in this game isn't to pad stats, why even play?

    I'm just watched the wife solo Qhira w/Li Li and win. To be fair though, Li Li is basically an assassin.

    People think Cain is bad? Since when? He still seems great to me. He just needs time to set up, so he's a niche pick, not a general pick like he used to be.

    He's certainly not the worst healer, not as long as Auriel and Kharazim are around, the poor bastards.

    Well his win rate is at the bottom of the pack for healers. Auriel is arguably a niche pick too but she sees far more success.

    You certainly used him to great effect during that scrim.

    Cain gets work done on maps like Volskaya when you know where the objective will spawn and can preload the point with healing.

    I saw that there were 40+ new posts, and I got excited. I was like, oh shit, did we get info on the Tassadar rework? New hero announcement already? No way!

    You could also give Cain the ability to open a TP that sticks around for a few seconds to own hall that anyone on own team can help through. Kind of like Morales's lvl 20 medivac non-ult, but can be used in both directions.
