Gestas Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) You need more than healing to win any match. You need good damage, good team work, and people who will go after objectives. So I don't think it's good practice to just mindlessly vote MVP for the best healers. Edited January 12, 2012 by Gestas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naroga Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 When I overheal myself with a med-pack, it doesn't award me the 2.5k single heal medal. I think you may be wrong, but I'll wait for a real healer to come in and confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmerkin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 have not seen anything solid to indicate this is true, Im a sorc and do heal from time to time in pvp and find results to be fairly in line with what Im casting and its hits when looking at the scores after.

Elaithe Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It def doesn't work that way, when I heal someone with full health even if its for 5k I don't get either the 2.5k or the 5k medal and it certainly doesn't count toward the overall healing medals. Also, were you under the impression that MVP votes mattered in any way at all? Because they don't... Medals do, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, of course the healers want to be voted MVP.... of course the healers will be pro "MVP to best healer."

captainmerkin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It probably doesn't work on yourself.. But he wasn't healing himself in this situation. He was healing me. And it did in fact work because were with each other the entire match and he had the highest healing score. Well as a healer I do not think you are in a position to judge if this is happening or not, most likely hes been healing others to achieve this. or simply converting health to energy and healing himself.

Uh, if you want MVP it does; and MVPs get more experience. Well as a healer I do not think you are in a position to judge if this is happening or not People mindlessly vote the healers as MVP all the time.

Excedrin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Overhealing doesn't count. Maybe you mean people who sit in the slime and heal themselves, that would be a more legitimate complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barathos Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Uh, if you want MVP it does; and MVPs get more experience. A lot of people will mindlessly vote for whoever possesses the highest healing done. I 'mindlessly" vote for the person with the most medals. As long as he has the 3k warden medal.

Propanelgen Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 OP is wrong, overhealing is discarded and does not count towards your healing amount in the scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice_Nihilim Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 And considering there are only 3 healing medals.... I normally see folks in huttball have someone purposely jump in the acid and then they spam heal them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Zajo- Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have at start of a wz and even during a wz (when it's been calm) put the aoe heal on the ground where my teammate are standing and single healed. That has never counted towards my healing score. Not saying that what you saw didn't happen but it seems very unlikely that it's a permanent exploit that works for all?

Dogfatherxx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 People vote for who they think did the most to help the team. Who cares what they value the most. Just cast your own vote and get on with your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsawsamurai Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Healing is a combat multiplier, a thankless job, and a role that doesn't give many medals. I do not "mindlessly" vote for the healers, but they certainly have my attention and end up getting a lot of my votes and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengaro Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) You need more than healing to win any match. You need good damage, good team work, and people who will go after objectives. So I don't think it's good practice to just mindlessly vote MVP for the best healers. Maybe coz of the Medal Issue, but I agree, just give the dd with the most medals the vote, like 95% of the dummies do on my server:rolleyes: Just vote for whoever you want, just as info in premades it's more or less written that you have to vote for your healers, coz they normally end up with less medals.... (and you want your healers healing, not playing as dd to get more medals....) Edited January 12, 2012 by Kengaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't think it's good practice to just mindlessly vote MVP for the best DPSers. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knifewrench Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Because anyone can do damage. Because if you already have 11 medals, why do you need more benefits? Because you're a jerk and you told people what to do even if it was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alement Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does getting MVP do anything at all in warzones? Gets you one more commendation per vote. And I for one, will usually (but not always) vote on a healer, because a team without a healer going up against a team with a good healer will usually (but not always) lose, thus making the healer the difference maker.

Aghar Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Op thinks he deserves mvp every time, you dont get much when you get mvp votes, its like 50 valor per vote and 1 extra comendation. It is almost nothing. I vote for heals because I play a tank in pvp, and they work together with me to push for objectives. DPS helps, but most of the time the dps people run off and act stupid, chasing people to try to kill them and end up getting killed. Most damage, or top kills means **** all to me if you were over by their spawn farming the crap out of their 2 bad players, while the rest of their team ends up capping points.

Mardur Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Uh, if you want MVP it does; and MVPs get more experience. People mindlessly vote the healers as MVP all the time. Not mindlessly, currently pure healers get less medals than DD's/hybrids even tanks. So if I see a good healer in the game I reward him with my MVP vote. And BTW I never and never will give MVP to DD classes as their task is the easiest especially when Mercs and Sorcs are in the 1-5 highest dmg dealers. I reward a good healer who heals my *** out (and being focus target because of it) AND still getting less medals than a one button ez-mode DD. So pal, it is not mindless vote, it is a well-thought vote from my side. (I play a Powertech tank, so I especially appreciate healers.)

RpTheHotrod Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I always sort by objectives and vote the highest MVP UNLESS someone stood out to me in the match that I thought deserved recognition. That's also with my friends/guildies with me, btw. I'm not a fan of favoritism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
