Why did blizzard make it that i have to constantly go up against arranged teams in anything higher than 1v1? I find it near impossible to win when you are with random players against players that already have a strategy and know each other. I try communicating with my team mates but it changes nothing usually if it is lets say a 3v3 they will scout and find the person with the weakest base and all 3 of them will rush him. Is this how matchmaking is suppose to work? Arranged plowing through random teams for free wins? Why don't they pit AT against AT and RT/RT? Is it because of the wait while searching for a match? I also know that i am facing an arranged team because i check the other teams profile and there it is. It also seems my only option is to form an AT if i want to stand a chance in anything higher than 1v1
If that's true, you should report it to Blizzard. They may not have intended it or considered it. But obviously arranged teams would tear up random teams.
I agree. However... This is probably intended, but could very well be changed. Seems like one of these things... Yes, It's probably due to waiting times. However, I believe (I'm not entirely sure) that the RT gets slightly better statsed people. What I mean is, that the individual skill of each of these players should compensate for the extra communication AT has. (Personally, I still think that AT is at a huge advantage unless the individual skill difference is through the roof, but I still think this is their way of balancing it) However, If It's not, they should definitely implement this, provided they neccesarily want AT to go against RT. But on to the matter - I most certainly agree with you, It should be RT v RT and AT v AT. The waiting times usually go around 10-30 seconds, having it go between 20-60 would not be a huge deal... for the sake of balance.
Team mates who know each other will get their own 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 rating. In a month or two, we should see the lower ranks (Bronze, silver, maybe even gold) filled with random-teams... meanwhile the teams that work well together will be all Gold Platinum and Diamond.. This will divide random and arraged teams from each other.
Well I only play random teams, and after placement Im middle Platinum. I dont feel like loosing to a gaziljon AT's cuz Blizzard is apparently utterly crazy. There's no chance in hell competing against even a decent AT with all the benefits they have, of which communication is the least. The real advantage is ofc experience and knowing what each other do the moment they do it... Well, safe to say this will never ever work, and I hope Blizzard realises that in the near future...
I think you're full of it bro and just raging because you can't win. I've got no problem winning in 2v2 RT and 3v3RT, in fact my highest placing was in 3v3 RT. You just gotta be good and hope your partners arn't scrubs.
The situation isn't unfair at all. If you are trying to have fun, then the system will help you with that, since once you get placed at your proper skill ranking then the matchmaking will pair you up with other random players of similar skill, and you might face an arranged team that is OVERALL the same skill as you, even when taking their better communication/planning into account. It's just as Endroil said: a rank 50 gold 3v3 random player has better individual skill, while a rank 50 gold 3v3 arranged team has better communication and planning. If you are trying to get rank 1 diamond in a 3v3 random league, then that as well is definitely possible because 3v3 random leagues are just that: only single players that play 3v3 random. Sure there will be some super good arranged 3v3 teams that you can never beat, but they are unbeatable by every other 3v3 random player as well, so who ends up at the top isn't affected by that.
Yeah, exactly. I like playing a lot of team random games sometimes and I usually do just fine. Ironicly they are always some of my best ranks, though my old ranks are just fail cus I've gotten better since I've placed. Eventually you'll get into it and be just fine bro. Keep trying.
RT's are put together higher than the AT they are facing, usually the skill level should be enough to win you the game. Problem is the people who go RT'ing as a lax just to warm up for 1v1 and could really care less as to the outcome. Also, points are alloted and reduced according to this as well. Blizzard talked about rt vs. at during the blizzcon pro's forum and slated that the wait times would be extraordinary if it was rt vs. rt and at vs. at only.
