Quote:This is actually a pretty fascinating concept. What if playing popular classes on your teams gave you fewer points for wins and a bigger punishment for losses? Blizzard can calculate hard numbers for, say, the top 500 teams in a Battlegroup. If there are an overabundance of Warriors, teams sporting Warriors (especially those common 2-Warrior 5v5 teams) would score fewer points for a win.
Would we see a sudden surge of Hunters and Druids on Arena teams?
It would sure benefit my 5v5 squad. We have 2 of the 3 least-represented 5v5 classes, Rogue and Druid. I think sometimes we beat opponents out of sheer shock value. :) "A Druid? What's that?" Having 2 of your 5 members starting out in stealth can throw a curveball to some teams, especially when that Druid pops out and Cyclones one Warrior while rooting the 2nd.

Wouldn't that mean that warriors would then have to put in much more time to get the same gear results?
I already PvP on my druid rather than my warrior, but that would be the nail in the coffin, if I had to put in three times the work.
