Priest/Rogue 2v2 Frustrations

[Bolty]

I don't think complaining about the warrior specifically is really what you want to complain about. 2v2 is mostly about teams that beat other teams based on class balance. No matter what "power combo" you have in 2v2 you will generally get to 1800 or so and then start regularly facing your "nemesis" combo.

I think you might have missed the main thrust of my post; that is, in 34 games I played last night, we faced the "dreaded" Shadow Priest/Warlock combo once. That's 1 in 34. This combo is the paper to our scissors; we slice them up like butter. But we never played them.

Roughly 28 of our 34 games were against Warrior + X. I understand Warriors are our foil. The problem is that they are a foil for almost every other combo. 28 of 34 is not "regularly facing." It's just about all we faced the whole night. These weren't all the same teams, either - that's what was even more surprising. Lots and lots and lots of Warrior + X teams.

These Warrior + X teams are not facing their nemesis combos. They're facing all the other Warrior + X teams. It's one big happy friendly Warrior bracket. Seeing the numbers Mirajj put up makes me wonder where the hell all the Warlocks are.

Maybe it's true that we have to "break through" their rating somehow to start wailing on all the caster teams. I just don't see that happening, though. We were brushing 1900 and got matched up against a team far higher in rating than us - a Warrior/Druid combo who beat us (laughably easily, as we never got to even touch the Druid) for 9 points. Then the slide started. This Warrior/Druid team was a friendly team from our server, who we talked with afterward, and their one striking comment was "man, I wish we got to play Rogue/Priest combos more often."

I should check our battlegroup's top 100 teams and see what their composition is. We can't seem to crack the top 200, instead hovering between 200-250th. This week we'll probably sink quite a bit, since we lost rating...
