My rated BG first impressions

[Velassra]

tough... I played 4 rated bg's tonight and got beat pretty good at all of them. did decent for a while at EOTS but lost 2 Strand and and AB. Played with 5 ele shaman. I'm not sure if it's just early season and good peeps are still low rated and crappy players are not even 85 yet.

I'm just scared that it's so much easier to win 5 arena games a week to cap your conquest, that the crappy players I usually beat on in pug bg's, won't be queing for rated bg's. I'm worried it's just going to end up all pro's

They really need to put something in to get people to play rated bg's. In fact, I don't think you should be able to play a non-rated bg personally. Otherwise you don't get casuals to balance things out a little.

I found that the teams we faced did a heck of a lot of CC and usually had 4 out of 15 as healers. I got fear bombed and cc'd so bad in strand I usually never even caught up to the demolishers. And in AB I could never click the dang flag because there was always someone alive tapping me during a cap.

Anyone else play any rated bg's yet and have any impressions?

Really would love to hear some uplifting stuff.... I"m thinking of changing my pvp team from shaman to some melee or something. Maybe even bunch of fear bombing locks.

Ummm, yeah, whatever. Let's serve someone up so the multiboxer that's getting beat can beat up someone else.
You want to PvP for a challenge or faceroll someone?

My point was that I would like to see the full spectrum of skill levels in rated bg's, not just the pro's. I don't think that implies in any way that "I R BoXor & deserv faesrole"

That's not what you said. You wanted casuals, crappy PvPrs in the rated bg's because you were getting beat and you need the competition softened up for you. That's what you said but that's fine if that's how you want to play. Don't try to turn it around and insult me because I struck a nerve with you.
