Arena teams:

[Santori]

Hey staff,

i just wanted to ask if it would be possible at all to introduce an arena team system like on retail Wotlk atm, where you can queue with whoever you want and have your "own" rating, rather than having to stick to the same team all the time?

Think that would be a cool addition to all realms actually.

Would work well for rated BGs, if they did that for vanilla

I don't really know how personal ratings work for BGs...with so much more than KDRs and damage/healing numbers being a factor (capturing objectives, holding objectives, etc...someone who sits on an objective in a way that keeps the other team from even approaching it is contributing to the BG win, even if they end up never dealing any damage, right?

I really like the idea of trying to match people queueing in BGs with other people who are roughly as good as they are at the BG, or at least the overall team rating levels balance out...as long as it doesn't drastically lengthen queue times. It's more fun for an amature/casual player to play with and against others of similar skill than it is for them to be curb-stomped every game because they're forced to play with other amatures against the pros every match.
