Priest/Rogue 2v2 Frustrations

[NotSoDarklord]

2300 is an exaggeration - thats the #1 team in your BG and there's pretty much no way to maintain that ranking giving away 30% of your games.

In any event, team switching cooldown's don't stop your little scenario, unless your 2 uber players want to play for a seperate 2v2 team to try and take #1.

My personalized rankings would solve it. The sucker would actually need to be on the field for the win in order to get any points.

Around 2200 is where 2v2 starts capping out on points to where gaining rating does not produce a significant increase in points gained. This rating would not be that difficult to maintain giving away three games a week, especially if the team was smart about it and queued when higher rated teams were running when giving away the three games a week.

As far as powering random people to gladiator goes, this is a serious problem given the current system and although not many people are currently doing it because it is more of an end of season tactic, it will be very prevalent in the end of the season using a method similiar to what bolty mentioned only stopping once a sufficiently high rating was reached with the two uber players playing and the random person benched and never playing again. Gladiator does not require a constant amount of games per week at all, which leads to the potential for gladiator ebayman, a fresh 70 in all greens and little to no actual gladiator gear besides of course the mount.
