Premades have an advantage, they can speak with each-other and bla bla bla.. .but it's not like they start with 10 workers while you start with 6.... and you should be able to communicate with your partner too... The problem for me is when i get a bronze player or someone who is trying new races or builds as a team-mate and they don't care if they win or lose while i'm really trying to win xD but there is nothing you can do to prevent this besides getting a premade team yourself. | ||

LITERALLY 90 percent of my 2v2 RT matchups are versus an AT team. | ||

You can also find sometimes that you'll get a 2v2 random game and there's like a diamond and a bronze and two people unranked doing their placement matches. Its like they put no thought at all into their "unrivaled AutoMatch technology". << from the box. Their AutoMatch technology is probably best suited for 1v1. I had always assumed they used separate ladders for random and arranged teams (until we met a random team a couple of days ago) since my arranged team gets placed as a team, but how does that work for you random players? The random players must have individual ladder placements, right? | ||

I really don't unterstand why people play team games, don't communicate with their team members but rather play for themselves and then they complain when they lose (this is not necessarily directed at OP, have seen this sooooo many times also in other games)... Just grab some friends... It's much more fun anyways. Because friends arent always online, or you dont have any friends that play sc2, but you'd still like to try 2v2? Wouldnt mind if i played against other people who also got paired randomly. AT teams usually just rush with 40 t1 units and you cant really do anything against that. | ||

Just think of it this way: even if they win, they don't win points over an RT, because they are in a different league/division. All RT team players are in the same shoes, and all AT team players are in the same shoes. What matters is that you're not the only RT player who plays occasionally versus AT but all RT players. And your points are compared to the points of other RT players. The AT team might have an advantage and might win more games, but they are also compared to only other AT teams and not to RT teams. | ||

Just grab some friends... It's much more fun anyways. I do play team games with friends in real life. Your point, however, is a bit meaningless (no offense) as there are plenty of reasons why you cannot play with your real friends all the time. Just on top of my head... (can't believe I would even have to mention this as they're common sense) 1. Your friends are not online and you do not feel like playing 1v1 2. Your friends are not at your level and you lose against players you know you can beat 3. You want to play with other people and play as advertised: Random etc. | ||

1) As long as your AMM rating is equall you have an even fight. 2) Arranged teams have an edge if it comes to rating because they can improve not only in mechanics, macro, micro but in cooperation as well. But they are not in the ladder for random 2v2's, they have their separate ladder. That said I usually feal like me and my partner are usually better at mechanics than our fixed opponents, but they have usually better coordinated early strategies. Once the game passes 10 minutes mark without damage being done we usually have an advantage. | ||

That's just on top of having evolved team play, communiation and strategy. Random and AT needs to be separated, now. | ||
