I hate huttball period, I do just fine in it as a Sniper but I just hate the game itself. I would be happy if I never played this again simply because it isn't my cup of tea...or at least get a few new Huttball maps that are different.

You can heal out to 30m with LOS, a guard is 15m - so you're usefulness depends on a guard plus a really bad enemy. As a guardian, I don't rely on any of those things to be useful. Same for an assassin, or sorc, or etc. A healing sorc might not have a lot of insta casts but they can pull the ally to them and force speed ahead of them to receive a pass or heal the BC as they run - those two functions alone outclass SRMP and EMP.

Sorry for the tone but I honestly take people who look at a game like Huttball and don't think it's so class biased that it shouldn't count seriously as is for ranked standings as someone who is either trolling or really doesn't grasp PVP mechanics.

Every class and spec has their role to play, instead of QQ'ing and blaming losses on unfair abilities, people might want to learn about things like positioning and teamwork instead of thinking they are the most skilled player ever and going all Rambo in huttball. Just like any team sport you're going to have your stars that score lots of goals, but that doesn't mean that the supporting cast is any less important.
Instead of typing trying to prove your intelligence, take a second and re-read the OP.
Your class is replaceable by other classes that can do it better.
Sages can heal, pull, knockback and sprint.
You've already lost.

What can you do?
Stealth at and to the goal line? An assassin can do the same but even better. Using their shroud to block all incoming CC (save for roots) and sprinting happily over there.
AoE Blind. Give me a break, you think people won't have their trinkets ready for that, huh?
And what's that? Guardians have a better version?

Truth hurts, I know.

Can't believe this thread is still going >_> Scoundrels are the strongest healer in Huttball. As DPS they are pretty scary for tanks, thanks to the high yellow damage, the strong bleed and the Armorreduction-buff.

I agree that they are weaker than other classes but not by much. Do you really want to change something with the only fun and well designed warzone, just because a class isn't as good as another in this warzone? Hell, this game isn't even competitive... Also everyone has a "pass ability", even scoundrels.

Huttball won't be competitive in rateds.
It will be steamrolling the team that decides to gimp themselves by taking lower priority classes.

I think the game will be decided by whoever can coordinate the team the best and whoever can pass the best, not by solo ball-runners.

It's like rated pvp is a fantasy land where people won't exclude subpar classes once everyone figures out the metagame (as if most people don't have a clue already).

On topic: drop it for rateds, but keep it in unrated queues.
