We Started Arena Season 4 (Week #1)

Now that Arena season 4 has started TiceNits' hunter alt and HolyWarrior have decided it is time to start our Arena career.

We played a few non-rated matches a month or so back but now it is time to dive into the world of rated games.

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: Total Arena Nub post to follow...

Now we don't have the intention of losing 10 quick games a week, but we're fully prepared for that to happen!!

Why? Well by my reckoning and limited knowledge all teams/players have been reset to 1500 so for the first few weeks we could be rated against teams with 2300 rating and full Season 3 gear; whilst HW is in T5 equivalent PvE gear and TiceNits' hunter alt only has a few pieces of Kara gear. This means ... well ... err ... it means we're crap!

Match 1 - Druid/Mage - Lost 1483 (-17)
Match 2 - Mage/Lock - lost 1467 (-16)
Match 3 - Druid/Lock - lost 1452 (-15)
Match 4 - Pally/Hunt - lost 1434 (-18)
Match 5 - Pally/Warr - lost 1419 (-15)
Match 6 - Druid/Lock - lost 1406 (-13)
Match 7 - Priest/Sham - lost 1389 (-17)
Match 8 - Pally/Lock - WON 1407 (+18)
Match 9 - Priest/Sham - lost 1393 (-14)
Match 10 - Mage/Lock - WON 1412 (+19)

LOL - in almost all the losing games we lost very quickly. A couple of them were close and longer fights.

In match 8 we pretty much just burned the pally down, when the lock was actually doing anything I was stunning him or bubbling and healing through. Once the pally went the lock went very quickly.

In Match 10 we were concentrating on the lock but then we lost him, dunno if he died round a corner to the pet when we were feared or what, but we went onto the mage and started burning him down waiting to get ganked by the lock. It didn't happen, the mage died and we got our second win!!

2 WINS!!!

I'm not sure how these point wins/losses are calculated all I can guess is that the higher the rating of the team you beat the higher the points you gain and the higher the points they lose; conversely, the higher the rating the team that beats you, the less points they get and the less points you loss!

So for week 1 we went 2-8 and lost 88 points. Roll on next Wednesday. Any info or advice from arena veterans would be greatly appreciated.
