Back on track

After a two week hiatus of quality 3v3 play our team got back on the saddle Monday night and dropped an 8-2 on Shadowburn. We ended up with a 1871 rating eclipsing our previous high of 1858 and recovering from our drop back to the 1700's. Not only was it nice to get back on track, but it felt like we were even stronger than before. Grajam and Pen have always been good players and geared to the teeth.

I on the other hand have been a work in progress for almost a month now and always felt like the week link. Now that I am getting the gear required to compete and actually learning to play WE/Frost our matches seem a lot easier. My role is to deal constant damage not burst and what is nice is that I can still do that while playing the roll of damage sponge. If teams choose to ignore my teammates they will pay the price, were previously they would do so with the chance to eliminate me.

The only matrix that we really had a problem with was Warrior/HolyPally /RestoDruid. The first time we faced them we rushed down the warrior who was playing very aggressively and over estimated his healers and under estimated us. Later in the night when we saw them again the warrior went defensive and played close to his healers. We got him close a few times, but never enough to really think we could win it. We will need to work on a strategy for outlast teams like that one, but for now we don't seem to run into them that often.

Hopefully next week will see us in the 1900's and well on our way to banked arena points for season 3. If only Blizzard would announce a date for its release I could plan my resources and gear accordingly.
