I always thought it was people meme’n, but I believe I finally witnessed it. Every time DK was opposite of pres evoker, the evoker took off their gear and waiting in spawn to be 1shot. Same team as DK, full gear and played like a bro.
Yeah, sure, it’s just not terribly common outside of maybe cutoff range in the final weeks. Imagine two guys sitting there declining queues for an hour to get into the same lobby just to feed one of them a few wins and now are less likely to queue into each other.
S1 i was grouped with one other to run some bg’s. I forgot I had qued for SS at the same time. SS popped and I took it, to see the player I was grouped with in it as well. We were amazed and taken back how that occurred. After that SS, we tested again, qued SS as a group and boom. Wie popped again and we were both in. We dropped out and realized it’s true that people can get in together to assist.
Manx other times I would have a pally do nothing, no bubble. But when he was on same team with healer, BoP, freedom, play flawlessly. I healed my a$$ off to deny that dude win. Obviously, they were trading games. That moment on, I decided to stop with SS till this mess is fixed. HC is more entertaining for the time being.
Seen it too many times. DPS target swaps 10 times in a round so we don’t make any progress. We lose. Next round, they target and demolish a player. Rinse, repeat.
Sometimes they’ll wear blues on your team, and wear their purples on the other team.
I’ve also noticed that there might be players purposely tanking their rating so they can outgear and gank people at lower ratings.
I’m seeing WAY too many players with Challenger gear while queueing at pre-1200. It’s really frustrating not being able to win rounds because I simply can’t deal enough damage against all these Challenger geared players.
Even if wintrading was a thing, it would be EXTREMELY RARE and cost alot of time/effort/luck. It’s cheaper for boosters to just trade rating in normal rated arenas or to pilot the account… So unless somebody provides me legit source of “wintrading” i’m not buying it.
