It may actually, but I am not 100% sure on that, I'd need to check.

Edit: Looks to be that way. The GetChanceAgainst() function that is called when calculating a chance only takes team ratings into account.

Like others have mentioned, I don't think the blizzlike formulas would help at all. Besides no one actually knows the real TBC calculations for rating, they were mimicked as close as they could be and it worked quite poorly on small server environments. Our new adjustments, as was mentioned, are modeled after NextGen. You gain more rating under 1850, you gain more when you normally wouldn't, and you lose less than a massive 31. These all are what caused rating to go from 1-3 teams above 2k, to 10+ teams going above 2k. This helped the matchmaking, and overall we felt it improved the rating system to more accurately portray ranges instead of being insanely harsh.[/quote]

-Logging onto their alts with a 1500 team to try to queue up against a team which rating is about the same as their main's team.
It was discussed over the summer to change our arena system entirely to a system similar to 3v3 Solo Queue -- how you are in a permanent single team you cannot leave. Make 2v2 where you group with a partner (not a team) and queue, and your own personal ratings averaged together determine your win/loss rating change. This would remove the recreating of teams, and disallow players to remake teams over and over again. This system would be really similar to the way retail works, for those who are familiar with it. After a lot of debating it, and getting feedback, we changed our idea instead of the SF Tournament system which cash prizes. Unfortunately, that system never panned out and we reverted back to the one we have now. It's impossible to have a fair, good working arena system on TBC with a smaller population. If you change something, like narrowing the rating difference, then no BGs pop, raise the difference and people face teams that are of different skill. It's a constantly win some, lose some battle trying to make it "balanced".

Unfortunately I can't read minds, communicate with ghosts or reading private messages, but you should check the group "RAUBTIER" if you liked Sabaton! More Viking than ever.
