Yeah, for them it was fun for shure. Farming kills thanks to the new honor system. But for our premade group it was not that much of fun at all. And people started to /afk because it was obvious that the enemy team only cared about HK.
I can live with the fact that some players have better gear. And better skill. That is perfectly ok for me. But what takes the fun out of this game is that there is no "equal footing" in terms of skill and gear. Why do premades, where 60% have less then 9k life, have to fight against fully geared premades?
Blizzard said they wanted to increase the interest in arena. And all their recent talk about WoW as an eSport game. Oh well, no static permanent rating, no real ladder system, no equal footing doesn't sound like an eSport game to me, really.
