S3 started, No gladiator

As the title says, we never reached gladiator. We kept on running into teams we had very little practise agains't. We topped off at 2134 but then got beaten back down to 20xx, it was getting really really late so we both agreed on stopping.

Next day i logged on to a Challenger rank atleast, ah well next season i thought to myself. I had 5k arena points and about 36k honor banked. I rushed and bought the silk belt and the s3 gloves, feeling a bit sad though since i didn't have the materials for the gloves, also i was lacking some WSG marks to buy the bracers...

I used a huge amount of the day farming Primals and gold to get myself all the enchanting materials waiting, all the time waiting for Nakedsnake to get online so we could start pushing for 1850, seeing as both of us are very anxious to get the hand on the new weapons, unlike everyone else who seems to be buying the new set pieces first. Nakedsnake never got online, and i did verbally abuse him when we talked thursday evening, he blamed work and terrible traffic, slack i say. So we started thursday very shortly after i got online to work on the 350 rating needed for our weapons. Queues were far from terrible actually, upto 10 mins max, and mostly around 7 mins. The first game started with the gate opening, and the scoreboard instantly showing a "Draw" with no enemies inside.... right. So we started off with a 9-0 win streak until we had a silly loss agains't druid/warlock, we met alot of disc priest/rogue teams, a setup which we almost got on farm now id say, also met a pretty crappy mage/rogue team a few times.

Oh yea, id like to give you an example of how much Nakedsnake really sucks cock.
The situation: hunter/shaman in arena which me and naked have farmed for 2-3 games already by always going for the hunter while CCing the shaman. Naked then for some fishy reason thought it would be nice to "keep them guessing" by going for the shaman, result: 17 rating lost, after questioning nakeds manhood through more verbal abuse we queued again and and took our 17 rating back from those guys.

When we hit our top, 1774, we suddenly started meeting a druid/lock team from skullcrusher again and again, we beat them one single time, and prayed to allah to never see their faces once more..... yea right, they beat us all the way back down to 1729, this is when we decided to call it a night, 5 straight games agains't the same team that we just couldn't seem to beat was a bit too much, and we didn't wanna risk going too low. Though once we stopped i was really happy, the score ended 26-10 and we had gotten alot of practise. So today i hope naked will be online again so we can push for the last rating upto our s3 weapons!

I keep finding it strange why with 7 min queues you can bump into the same team more than once in a row.

You'll be there fast enough, Art. That weapon is on you this week.

In the end we actually had nearly instant-5 min queues, was quite impressive :O
