The tradeoff, if executed skillfully, results in significantly increased damage and circumstances that can only be described as unfair when compared to ranged healers. However, you'd be aware of this
if you had experience in small-scale PvP. It's worth noting that we typically don't match up ranged healers against SnB healers in official small-scale PvP events..
This is plain old posturing, and not very impressive. If you want to believe I have no small-scale experience that's your perogative. I can only laugh at that.
Also, you're shifting the topic to something it wasn't about originally, and basically ignoring my deeper points about how TTK and the over-sized defensive safety net interact to create undesirable and hard-to-fix balance situations.

This is simply not true. Additionally, it oversimplifies the capabilities of all healers. For instance, RPthen possesses a single-target Detaunt and M2, along with a 3-minute cooldown ability that can be shattered. It's challenging to see how these could be considered "big tools.". Have you ever checked how many defensive abilities a SH has?
I hesitate to label you as a forum troll, but your argumentation does give off that impression (no offense intended). Let's avoid further derailing the discussion.
More posturing. A bit rich you're the one calling me a forum troll. Play the ball, not the man.
Anyway, if you want to chase Runies in your Ranked matches, be my guest, I suppose.
And yes, there are other classes who have escape tools. We can have a discussion about that in another topic. This is typical "whataboutism" - one does not exclude the other.
Please stop derailing the discussion with your cheap rhetorical tricks and posturing. Tyvm.
