Quote:You don't get that new team's rating. That's the whole point of personal ratings. If you join a team rated 2000, your personal rating is 1500. You will have to compete quite a lot to get your personal rating up there, especially since you're now playing against harder teams.
At a 1500 personal rating, you'll get 30 (32?) points for a win against another 2000-rated team. But you still have to GET that win while you are playing in the arena - no more free rides for scrubs.

That's what I mean, though. If I wanted to exploit this, let's say I did the 2v2 exploit to get my rating up to 1850. What happens if I then join an 1850+ rated 3v3 or 5v5 team? My personal rating is 1850 and a team I am on is 1850, can I now buy what I want to as I've satisfied the requirements of having a team and personal rating of 1850? The team rating doesn't tank/reset back to 1500 just because I joined it (though my personal rating in that bracket does). That's what I mean by having team and personal ratings tied together. How is, or is Blizz even going to bother trying to prevent this exploit in the making?
