What's your question?

Personal rating is always bound to a specific team.

Personal rating changes are based on the difference between your personal rating and the team rating when you win and lose. Over time, your personal rating will converge on the team rating, regardless of losses and wins.
Merujo is correct.

I trade arena teams a bunch. My goal is to get as many games in per week as possible and in the process I play with different healers that make me better all around. When you leave a team, your PR resets to 1500.

People re-roll for various other reasons. Im at the point now that if I beat a team, they dont requeue. 6-7 min wait time for me when everyone else is at 1 min. The whole reason I started Boxing is I wanted to arena more. So I reroll and gear up my friends and get to destroy people. I remember how un-fun it was to be on the recieving end. My lack of morals, self-esteem, and overall lack of respect for people allows me to enjoy this process.

Blizzard's solution for people complaining about how rated teams raping them was to make the que times so long for the higher rated teams that people only play them evey 3 matches or so. I've noticed when I play a team after a long que I'll take 9pts. Then it'll be another 8 mins and I'll get 11 pts. Then I'll play the team they've been playing after another 7 mins and I'll get 4 pts. Then I'll make a mistake against a descent team after playing scrubs and lose 25pts. All that work for -1 pts.

High end arena is frustrating. Teams don't requeue. Wins are rarely worth more than 10 pts. ie. I went 15-3 this week for a rating change of 15pts. Tell me thats not a waste of time. 8min queue + 1min buff wait = 9 min game. 18 games X 9 min = 162 mins. Sound like fun?
