Healer "hate" feels blown way out of proportion in the community.
With the upcoming changes to tanking, whether they turn out good or bad, many people immediately turned to "now healers will be blamed for everything."
Every single time a change is made, I see comments and posts like this. A potential player or even a veteran considering healing would be made to believe healers are constantly bullied and blamed for everything.
As a healer main since Cata who typically gets his +20s done and heroic raid hugging, this hasn't been my experience at all. In fact, aside from occasional jerks who blame any role they can when something goes wrong, most people remain pretty silent for wipes or target someone who messed up a mechanic.
Sadly enough, i see the MOST toxicity coming from other healers when I'm playing a tank or dps alt, which I'm always disappointed in because it skews the community perspective on healers.
So other healer mains, maybe those who stay silent most of the time, am I alone in feeling this way? Or have I somehow avoided these "healer blamers"?
