That's funny, the counter combo team that just beat us for 25 points doesn't seem to contain the players that just fought against us..... :roll:

Better yet, barely winning a fight against a <1 minute queue team with nearly the same comp as you...... and getting 5 points and then getting them again, barely losing and yet losing 26. Wow arenas sure are fun.

Welcome to high-rated arenas!

The only answer is to L2P when no smurfs are queueing (I always wanted to tell someone on this forum to L2P).

Mathematically, even if you can beat smurfs most of the time you are better off not playing (unless you play for practice and don't care about your current rating). The rating system works by assigning win percentages to matchups. Every time you play a smurf you are expected to win more than you do since they play below their real rating. So even if you win 80% of the time, you might be expected by the system to win 95% and thus will lose points in the long run by queuing.

Yeah it's pretty much lose-lose when it comes to smurf teams. If the assholes played at their own rating level it wouldn't be a problem. Ok you got smoked by someone your own rating or higher. You lose 10-15 points and you got some practice.

Instead it's "LOL YOU GOT GAYED for 30 points by someone being paid thousands of gold to level from 1500-2000."

When will Blizzard ever fix this horseshit?

Probaly when they do something retarded like use gear matching algorithms in the arena queue.
