I know some of the folks who've posted here might not have liked the idea of equipping it in pvp themselves, but the fact that you don't like it doesn't mean that everyone feels the same. after all, whatever that MM hunter had equipped was 100% worth its while in that game. ^_^ that MM hunter ambush smells like Twisting Nether to me.

In this case its not terribly unfair because you can just identify and blow up the undergeared player. 2) They are starting a new team with a new partner/class composition. In this case they will be winning games and quickly moving out of your bracket but since everyone starts at 1500, there is no way around this. 3) They are starting a new team so they can get the rating high and then sell it. Same as #2, they will be out of your bracket quickly. 4) They are starting a new team for the same reason people play twinks - they don't want a fair fight, they want to annihilate the other team. The guys doing it for #4 are suck for the same reasons twinks suck. #1 is a beatable team, #2 and 3 are just passing through as quickly as they can. Since every new team starts at 1500 and because it is a lot easier to get a low rating than a high rating, there will always be oddities like this in the lower ratings. The solution? Get better at pvp so you aren't in that bracket anymore. The players that vastly outgear you are in your bracket for 1 of 4 reasons.

Arena is not based on teams but your own rating. You join the Q and get matched up randomly with people +/- 50pts of your rating... Thus no team stacking or 1800+ guys joining 1300 teams. And your opponent is built the same way. Teams get matched -/+ 50 of your team combined rating. That's all.... The best scenario is for Bliz to rework it..

So we start a new team and are playing some games to get into the proper bracket, but we're in the 1600s earlier and fighting these weird makeups for 2s (pally/rogue) that just totally trump our comp. Sometimes you just gotta keep playing and youll get past these teams, see if your partner(s) want to do more than just the minimum 10 games and test your luck. Good Luck, I'm sure we'll see you hitting 1700s before you know it.

Blizzard needs to re-work the arena system so that it is based on your gear as well as the ranking you obtain, or something more restrictive. Teams that have all they can get purposely lose matches to drop in rating, only to gear up and annihilate teams at much lower rankings. It's Horse Sh*t!
