Priest/Rogue 2v2 Frustrations

[Concillian]

Edit: The "2v2 isn't balanced" doesn't hold up, either. Blizzard's now holding prize tournaments for 2v2, there is no excuse. Rock/Paper/Scissor? Okay, that's one thing. But it's not even at that point.

So what? Blizzard gives the most arena points to 5v5, which is clearly NOT the most balanced relative to class population balance at 70. Blizzard's reward system doesn't make sense.

Balancing classes doesn't work either. Right now 3v3 is reasonably balanced. Change it so 2v2 is balanced and 3v3 will become unbalanced. The appropriate way to solve the problem is for Blizzard to implement a handicapping system to the arena. Matches are arranged based on absolute rating, but point exchange at the end is based on handicapping. Handicapping can be determined by single class balance vs. Battlegroup 70 class balance (for an expected class ratio) or by full team makeup vs. an expected class ratio (the 2nd being significantly more difficult to maintain).

When I hear a rogue whine about 2v2 arena I don't hear it, all I think of is the hunters. If any class deserves to whine it's the hunters. They get owned by 1 of 3 ARENAS, regardless of what classes they face. We faced a druid + 2 hunter team 4 times that was better geared than us (s.priest / hunter / shaman). We killed them 3 times in blade's edge, then we caught them in the Ruins arena and they DESTROYED us.
