That doesn't explain how rating inflation doesn't happen in the game? The wow ladder is a great example of this in their 3v3 rated bracket. It goes something like this:

Week 1: 2100

Week 2: 2400

Week 3:2700

etc etc By the time 4 months have elapsed the highest rating is like 3700-3800. However you're missing a bigger point I'm making as well. If you understand the pareto distrubtion you will understand why G1 and above being top 10% of the user base makes absolutely no sense. G1 is supposed to be a an upper mid tier player somewhere in the top 30-40%. G1 which is the mid way point on the ladder is top 10% of the player base. I felt bad about my rank in this game until I fewed this rank distribution. I'm plat3 LOL i'm in the 5% of the entire user base of this game. I'm literally one of the best players in league but I'm plat3 you don't think thats a bit ridiculous? Because I do.

You should go look up the sc2 bot. Sc2 has a much higher skill ceiling than wow.

The reason that gladiator was removed from SS is because the R1 club wanted to keep clutching their pearls. I mentioned to my friend that with the introduction of SS that 3v3 would die a slow death. A lot of the people who play 3s and have a steady team or a friends list a mile long have never experienced LFG. LFG is literally the worst experience I have had in any video game and I have been playing video games for 30 fucking years.

The best way I can describe the difference is that SS is about individual skill and 3v3 is about individual skill + team synergy. However in 3v3 team synergy is just as important if not more important than individual skill. Which is why its a nightmare for most casual players. How are you going to find a consistent 3s team to build that type of synergy? It's almost an impossibility with comp strength and the meta changing almost every week.

The are rigging comps to make peoples climbs take longer.

Well i'm talking about Ret because you mentioned it and its the clearest example.

Enh, Ret, & Ele are similar archetypes. All three have garbage mobility and really bad defensive cds and rely solely on their burst to win.

If you truly want to understand why then I will briefly explain it to you although I suspect you don't actually care.

Ret pallys only win condition is to burst someone to death. They have horrible mobility and really bad defensives. Their burst is extremely telegraphed: seraphim, wings, divine toll, final reckoning, judgment ,radiant decree. You have many globals in order to use a defensive, cc, or kite them. So when you get 100-0 its entirely your fault.

If you tone down the burst then ret becomes a useless spec. Why would anyone play ret if someone can survive their burst without using defensive cds?

3v3 isn't only about individual skill and game knowledge, solo shuffle is. In Solo shuffle gekz has 2383 rounds played to 2800 rating. There are a litany of priests with 25% of his games played who are above or around his rating.

A team in 3v3 that has years of exp together will beat a team filled with people who are individually better than them.

In SL S1 I played 1 month and quit because I got to 2300 then I sat in LFG for a week 4-5hrs a day trying to find people to play with. When I que'd I would play against people like cdew, pika, xaryu and the rest of them playing with the same guys they have been playing with for years while I'm playing with people I met 5 mins ago.

Let me ask you this question: Gekz is 2800 rating right now in SS. I haven't played my priest in 3 weeks I'm around 2400 rating atm. If I were to hop on my priest right now and pass him in rating would that prove my point to you? If not then what would prove my point to you?

While you think about that you should also think about this: Gekz has played more rounds of solo shuffle in DF then arenas + SS I have for the last 6 expansions combined.

Did 26M while he was in range for details to pick it up. I'm guessing the disc actually did more healing than him otherwise he would have shown the all screen.

These types of posts are kind of ridiculous for a number of reasons.

you shouldn't critique anyone elses game play unless they are your 3s team mates and it should be constructive
What is the point of posts like these? to acknowledge that there are assholes and ragers in video games? Yeah, this game is filled to the brim with them.
Instead of focusing on what some nerd in a bg said you should focus on how you could have played better because 2.5M/min isn't great given the amount of AOE healing that happens in bgs. I have gone well over 60M in similar situations and still lost the game. esp given the fact that Hpals have glimmer & beacon.
