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?
QFT. At the end of last week (looking at my arena historian), we have a +1, +3, +1, +0, +19, +0, -22 games in one night in the spam of 3 hours. The 19 pt match was against 3 rezzers and a hunter still alive - 40 minutes of trudging through frost aura traps trying to stop rezzes in Bridge Hell Arena - hardly ANY fun.
