just add that to the list of things you don’t know like pvp, pve and progression.
I don’t think you should flame people in the arena forum when you have no arena achieves

Not sure if this was to me but yes you are stating truths here 
Don’t know how much skill or counter play is available when top geared players can burst for 20k dps. That means in 2 globals a 30k health player is dead.
So keep pretending it’s a skill/ outplay thing. And that is certainly going on. But there is no outplaying a one shot due to vast gear disparities
Generally you’re not wrong here but rated arena should 100% be about execution and not gear. Gear has no place in arena and if you’re Q’ing arena for gear acquisition and not because you love the game and rating than good riddance. The people on top of the ladder that benefit the most from rating gating ilvl agree with this sentiment unanimously.
Luckily scaling is coming in 9.1 so it won’t be a problem.
u came to the wrong place

Literally everyone who is against a tier system is either bad or doesn’t understand how competitive sports work.
virtually nobody is clicking in arena anymore dude. Maybe for a game or 2 and then they realize they’re 27 steps behind everyone.
ranked content isn’t really meant for casuals idk what to say. if people are capped at doing +5 mythic content and roleplaying yes they are 200 steps behind for arena
Yeah that’s not remotely true. You’re telling me that someone who happens to play hunter and is a good player, but stuck in the 1600s due to lack of player/comp options, couldn’t turn around and play a warrior and climb higher? That’s seriously what you’re saying? Ease of class play, class balance, and desirable comp options don’t matter for pushing rating? Just stop.
anecdotal comment / suggestion…
If you want to debate, at least state why you think the latter is a bad idea 
its the same situation with montreal canadians, really bad management, trade, draft choices, like why would they care, even if the teams they put on the ice are really bad, they still make a ton of $
Apparently Blizzard sees the problem, and agrees with me! Your gear gap crutch is leaving enjoy being stomped.
Actually in 3s if you look at Ludus Labs .5% is at about 2250. Therefor at least for the moment Gladiator at 2400 plus 50 games won is har5der than it was in the old system.
awhman why did u bump this
Because I wanted to. I thought people would be interested in the real numbers. People always say that current Glad is much more welfare than the old system.
i mean okay, i’m sure there’s still more low end inflation to go this season tho
The current median rating is 1407. Rank1 Glad level is about 2500 or a little more.
R1 glad level is currently ~2900 those ludus labs things havent been updated for like a whole month.
OK fair enough. Theres always rating inflation. My question is is that more or less inflation than in typical past seasons.
