Hi. I played 1v1 games in the Beta but never a 2v2 game.

Now I would like to try it. However since most of my friends don't have the game yet or can't play the same time I can, I will need to do it Random a lot of time.

Now, I have 2 questions:

1. What are "tell, tell" signs that you are playing against premade team? How to recognize a premade team in general in early stages of the game?

2. If let's say in this particular moment there are 100 2v2 games played. What approximate percent ratio is random teams and what is percent ratio of premade teams? Or if it easier, what is the approximate Random/Premade ratio on Battle.net in general?

What I want to know really is it WORTH to go random and lose badly if random/premade ratio is like 20/80 is it worth the pain of playing with complete stranger against team that is practiced and probably has voice communication and other things.

Maybe some of you have experience in 2v2 random and how much time do you encounter a clearly superior team because it is a premade.

Thanks.

I dont think you can get a premade team, if you joined by yourself, every1 will be random, even the other team.

had a horrible experience with random 2v2s. I'm in plat and i get bronze/silver partners all the time. however i don't think there is that many premades or maybe i'm just not recognizing them.

Once you reach reasonable mmr it's 100% premade. You can play random at low level with other randoms. If the ratio is 80/20 then top 80% of teams are premade =D
It's more important to be tough than to have any fun.

I was reading on Battle.net forums a lot of rants because randoms get premades all the time.

One: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/169528001

So 2v2 system might be set to "nevermind" the random/premade team and just create games?

6 pool and proxy gate = premade

Random teams can play arranged teams. Look at your match history and check the leagues of your opponents. It'll list their partner for their arranged team ladder rank.

Yeah, I've guessed as much that focused rushes on one member to cripple the team are a sign. Also extremely surgical strikes which are achieved by voice communication. But I think sadly you can't recognize them any other way other than when it is too late
