Personal rating does NOT reset...... when creating a new team.

I really like it that pro players make new team 2-3 times a day - everyday, but please start off at the rating you left off.
And stop steamrolling the 1500 bracket.

Arena is not ganking, it is intended to be a competitive environment.

Q u o t e:
battlegroup please, all I ever encounter is S4 geared people with S3 shoulders, heck I even met a full S4 warrior on 1400 not long ago with a green geared druid ( yes most likely a team booster) but they are everywhere, you don't gain rating you lose somewhat 100 everytime you decide to do 10 games

We do have a plan to change the way our matchmaking system works. In essence, we want to separate queue matchmaking from the point and rating system somewhat by applying a "gaussian distribution filter". Essentially this is still the Elo system with an "under-the-hood" rating controlling the matchmaking system that also persists for your character regardless of changing teams.

Q u o t e:
You have a plan to have a plan?

There is always the plan to have a plan incase we have to plan for something unplanned ;)

That said, edited the first post. Thanks for pointing that out.

Q u o t e:

Translation: Your character will have a "secret value" tracked for them that the system uses to see where the character is supposed to be competing in arena.

In short if you have a 2k rated team with 2k personal rating and change team starting over at 1500, you will still get matched against higher rated opponents.

Thats what i made out of it at least.

This is correct.
