Vitae

Too true Quixotic. I'm on a 2400+ rated paladin/warrior team, and while I'd like to think we're both very skilled players, I know bloody well that at least a hundred of our rating comes from the fact that I check for every single known shadow priest/warlock team on a second computer/account before I hit that queue button - and that if we run up into a new one, we make sure not to requeue. Or of course if we find a double stealther team, we sync up our queues with theirs, and so on - it's just a silly system in 2v2.

Edit: In regards to the original question, it's a pretty huge difference on Stormstrike too. According to the armory it'll be the top 25 teams, but according to other sources (there's one team on my server with a rating of _1000_, and they're ranked something like 11000th) it'll be the top 55. Quite the gap.
