Triptych makes it to 1500

Last night Triptych finally broke into the 1500s. We played eleven games of which we won six and lost five. We lost against two teams, one of whom was so far above us that our loss resulted in no rating change. The other team we lost against was a Druid, Mage and Shaman combination. It appears that their DPS and crowd control abilities outstripped us. Sadly although we did reach into the 1500s we lost our last two games and dropped back to 1493.

Some of you may be wondering what all the fuss is about, well 1500 is the rating new arena teams start on. When Triptych first started this season we lost quite a few matches becuase the team was made up of random players who just wanted a few arena points. Also, as a new team, you tend to loose a lot over your first couple of weeks. So reaching 1500 means we are finally in positive territory winning more than we have lost. For players somewhat new to Arena using a mixture of gear that in Squiggle's case still includes at least one green item thats pretty good.
