Disclaimer: this is mostly to vent - lots of whine included.
So like, I got my Hunter's S4 bow and 1h axes last week and started working on my warrior's 2v2 to get the rating for the s4 mace since I have a bunch of points saved up. However, since I saved up the points and it's an alt, he's kinda undergeared compared to pretty much everything we're fighting. Also, I play on a very small battlegroup so there may be around 1-4 teams queuing around 2k during fucking prime time. Not to mention it's infested with double dps.
Thus, once you reach 1900ish, you get to the point where you only get 7-12 points per win, but you lose a good 17-26. Oh, have I mentioned that because of these horrible queue times, the vast majority of the top 50 teams reroll all the time?
So anyways, we first reached 2k on the first day with like a 36-2 record. That's when the shit hit the fan. bm/rogue, rogue/mage, sp/rogue (all with pve gear), war/sham with s4 weaps who healdrink all the time. We keep getting retarded teams like this and trade wins until we end up tanking it down to 1920ish. We call it a night at that point.
The next day, we decide to queue up to see what's up... rogue/mage, hunter/restokin, gladiator shadow priest with a 4/4 rogue and glaives who take 24 points from us, etc etc. We're down to 1855 at this point and the morale is rather low.
Fast forward to today... we farm some bad war/sham and rogue/druid back up to 1950ish. Then, we go 3-1 against a rogue/mage and beat a rogue/priest twice (both these teams were giving little points and taking lots). We're around 2k at that point. We beat a reroll war/sham with s4 shoulders after 17 mins for 8 points, then go 1-1 with a lock/druid. Still around 2015 at this point. Then, we win two games against a different lock/druid team and, surprisingly enough, they give us some good points! After the second win, we're at 2051!
... except our PR is at 2048. GJ blizzard, awesome mechanic is awesome.
Next game, we fight the same lock/druid, but this time it's in blade's edge. For those not familiar with that map, if they get 1 CC off, the druid drinks. Not to mention that my warrior is undergeared, so he can drink anyways because I'm not putting enough pressure. We end up losing because my druid is oom, back down to 2036. Then, we fight the OTHER lock/druid team, AGAIN in blade's edge. Much quicker loss since the druid is dreamstate and they're really good with rotating cyclones and starfire/shadowbolt as my cyclone ends.
So we call it a night once again and log out frustrated. It's really retarded how frustrating 2v2 is on such a small battlegroup, especially with inferior gear compared to your opponents. You can play much better than them and still lose because you lack the pressure. We're at like 105 games now at 2022 (2019 PR lawl) and I hope we can finally get it done tomorrow.
For comparison's sake, I got weapon on my hunter running hunter/restokin with a 42-7 record. PR and TR matched.
