Before I had to stop playing, I had my 5v5 team to the early 1700s and the late 1600s.

the ONE thing I found, was that the patience of TWO people (ie: you and your healer) will outpace EVERY team with 5 impatient people on it.

SO, you will get into high level arenas and face off against good people, but they are impatient just like everyone else, and if you wait in a smart spot on the map so they cant get their hunters LoS stinging / Shamans purging / Mages causing havoc/ etc.. you will always have the upper hand. someone on their team will get anxious and jump the gun getting in a bad spot where you can blast them. once one is down, they are more likely to give up and start charging than anything else, and you have had the time to pick a target, mass purge and spam him for a couple seconds hopefully taking him down =)

YOUR patience, should ALWAYS outlast theirs. 2 people can hold their cool a lot longer than 5. Guaranteed. Learn to be patient and hold your ground. You are a terrible rusher since they can always LoS you easily on most maps.
