Fuck yeah! Almost down to 1600 rated now from 1832... we're going ALL THE WAY!
Every team we fight has their shoulders and weapons and a few are "1600" teams (ie, people that got their 2k gear in 3s and then roll into 5s and slaughter - the best part about these teams is they'll make you lose -20 points despite a real rating of 600 points higher.
Did you get your 1800 weaps at least?
It will turn around.
Try to pick a different time of day to queue maybe.
Yeah, I did -- my priest did too and my druid got his main hand but was waiting to have enough points to get his off hand this week - I thought he had already logged on and gotten it when the priest and I tanked our selves =P
We ended last night against a 4 melee + druid healer team that we beat 5 times earlier for 3-4 points each -- last night they zerged my healer and managed to get him down and then -16 points.
Seems like its a constant 1-4 point win and then massive loses eventually. We had three teams that farmed us with their 1600-1700 rating yet they all had relentless shoulders (from 3s).
I know how you feel. We ran into this crap in the 1900s.. Spent the last two weeks going between 1880 and 1960 over and over. People are just getting too geared this late in the expansion.
We're decided no more mondays - that's when all the little 2v2 and 3v3 teams with mostly relentless put on their tier 9.5 and make 5s for fun... Fighting hunters with 6k attack power and 3k sp warlocks with only a 1000 rating is a pain... We beat them 2-3 times for 2 points a pop, then lose 22 for a loss. Surprisingly we do better against 2200+ teams then those jackasses.
At this point we only queue 2-3 games at first to get a feel for who's on. If it's teams we don't get more than 5 points for but take 20, we just call it a night once we get a loss. I'm really already starting to lose interest in this grind, we need about an 75% win rate and against all 1900+ teams to get anywhere near 2000.
Went ahead and got my pokemon helms, I figured if things get bad and we can't maintain 1900 at least I'll have that. You only need 1650 for the chest so I can get that anytime
At the end of each night I just want to type /teamdisband 5v5
We've been getting this one team over and over for the past two days -- they had their shoulders but were 1700 rating when we started (now they're 2k) -- they out put so much damage and switch targets that my healer can't keep up, wizard cleave FTW.
know the feeling we played 7-3 with 1 dc on the boxxer ended up going from 2105 to 2089 or so :(
so we had to play some more games :o
