Yes, it works

Camron finally got ahold of a computer that can handle WoW. With nothing else to do, I suggested we arena it up. Boy, what a blast. Nine wins, eight losses, with a 1485 rating. Not bad for his first arena experience. Or maybe this druid/lock combo works better than I thought.

It kinda makes me sad that certain combinations work better than actual skill. I’m not saying Camron’s not skilled, not at all. He followed all of my commands swiftly and without question, and was still able to think and act on his own. But my original 2v2 team was my restoration druid and Noel’s frost mage. We did arena side by side in the same room, so we didn’t have to use vent or anything else to talk. It was the best communication anyone could have and we still did terrible.

At the time, it made absolutely no sense. We were unstoppable in battlegrounds together, or we’d at least take down countless Alliance before getting killed ourselves. Arena and battlegrounds are two completely different worlds. In arena, whenever Noel ran out of mana, we were fucked. Whenever a warrior or rogue was on my ass, we were fucked. Hunters gave us trouble, priests were an Achilles’ heel, and it was an automatic loss when we were up against a melee/healer team.

The other day, Noel dropped our team to join up with a rogue. Their first week was seven wins, six losses, another great score for a new team. I guess druid/mage wasn’t meant to be. Anyways, I’m glad that Camron’s finally getting some arena experience in, and that I finally found a 2v2 team that works. Time to tear nerds down and finally get my rating up.
