I did 6 matches tonight, each against two teams -- our 1300 rated team kept getting the same 1850+ rated teams each time and each time with the same results -- it just takes a cleave / aoe team to run in and kill me and this is with each of my guys have 22k hp and full deadly gear with a few hateful peices left over.

Everyone knows this, which is why 5s brackets are non exsistant hence the reason for getting teams rated over 500 points higher, they're the only other team queueing and its a long queue to boot. For my 3s team (currently 1650 and rising but I'm playing solo resto) the queues are less then 5 seconds.

It's incredibly irriating to see months of hard work leveling multiple shamans from 1 to 80, running countless BGs to get geared, running countless pugs for more gear, all for it to count for shit in the one area where it counts for me.

For the one or two people that are somehow getting to 2k ratings, my hats off to you and I'd know to know what you're doing because every team I face has one of two things -- a warrior charges in with reflection and then whirlwinds everyone, then the rest of the AOE starts -- or the hunter runs in with deflection popped followed again by the AOE -strategy is out the window, it's purely about who can output the most AOE damage.

5s has been such a disappoint that I'm canceling my subscription on all the clones and going back to playing just 1 -- it was fun, but ultimately it was a huge waste of time and cash because in Blizzard's attempt to make everyone happy, they've given every class the same abilities and way, way over complicated pvp. It's obvious they are utterly clueless about pvp and they only had it right before the first expansion.
