It means that you should be running with a priest in 3/5 Deadly.

Well, no. He's wearing 3/5 Mooncloth and 1/5 Satin (3 deadly, 1 furious) - presumably he used to be wearing the Satin pants, so he'd get the 2-piece bonus from both sets for an extra +50 resilience. Now he's wearing the new WG pants instead. I can only assume his next step is to switch the Satin piece to the Mooncloth set and get the 4-piece bonus there.

That said - uh, yeah, the numbers here are very, very wrong.

Lose often and early so your later wins are worth more?

I'm sure, 100% sure, that somehow someone is fucking with the ratings.

When your rating calculation is so obnoxiously complex, someone somewhere is bound to find a way to exploit it.

Oh yes, I'm actually surprised that this hasn't happened sooner.

It's cause WoW players are generally lazy. "Crack the rating algorythm to get crazy points and gear? Yeah, I'll get to it..."

"Actually what he did was Faction Change or Character Recustimization and it automatically puts the persons PR at the new cap... than he played a few games so it looks legit"

Uhh, that sounds a little weird, 'cause with the number of people doing that, you think you'd see it more often, but someone put that in the comments. Most of the consensus in the comments seems to be that it's just an Armory error, but that doesn't really explain the 1v2 wins.

Read again, they lost the 1v2 games, the priest just got one killing blow.

In most of the team's peculiar wins, Cäke was 1v2ing and got 1 killing blow.

Eh? That's what was weird about it. Either way, it's strange.

could have sworn I read 'matches' there. Guess my mind was trying to save me from the stupid.
