Yep thats how Blackout was and Misery is, when i was in blackout i actually got matched at the guys who are europes highest rated team and got 3 down but by then my priest was dead and 1 shaman. (no nerdy 5 dps) The rogue and shaman managed to solo my 3 shamans quite easy since i was pretty much oom

Now that im in Misery i normally fight teams with 1900+ and its good training.

2 weeks ago we got something like 8 wins and 16 losses but still we gained 100 rating.
