Ranked class pairing

[Sulorie]

In the past there were several adjustments on how classes are matched in ranked sc like trying to avoid 2 times the same class in dps/heal or tank slot.

As it happens a lot and leads to frustration, I suggest to prevent pairing of wp/dok as well, unless no other healer is in queue.

Why:
Both classes lack the burst heal capabilities of all other healer classes.
Pairing 2 book/chalice healers on one side gives a huge disadvantage, as both classes struggle to keep their team alive, while both are a lot better to pump out fast aoe heals. They have problems dealing with focused single target dmg, which usually leads to kills in ranked sc.

Agreed.

Lets also avoid double shield dok/wp, wich are pretty much immune to any impairing cc (heal debuff, breakable staggers, silence, even AP drain wont work against them), while being much more tanky and doing far more damage than other healers.

you must have 0 mmr if you think shield wp/dok are immune to cc

The biggest problem is that one side has a magic dmg + chosen/kotbz vs magic dmg and no chosen/kotbz. This 90% fight gives a free win to those who have kotbz/chosen.
The system should pair magic dmg + kotbz/chosen vs magic dmg + kotbz/chosen or both sides without kotbz/chosen.

The situation with the book wp/chalice dok does not occur as often as the one I am writing about.

they should delete solo ranked because it is a joke

If Playing WP it happens quite often.
Having no resist buffs or easy to remove buffs - and there is not always time to rebuff for AM/RP/SH/Z, if under pressure - is another valid point, if being matched against magical DPS.
