Rated Battleground MMR

This is clearly broken, does nobody care? It's impossible to lose rating from games -- many players are already 2k+ and, from my perspective, everyone is still pretty terrible at rated BGs. My team has gotten ripped by MG's R1 crew and Insomnia we've traded with, and that's about it -- everyone else we've played is terribad.

Oh, and by the way, we're not good. We bring 2-4 healers and whatever other classes happen to ask first online. We have no strats that are significantly beyond "go get the flag" or "stop losing at blacksmith idiots." I run in and call out healer's name and occasionally get some assist help focus fire -- that's about it. Is this really it?

Nobody takes losing seriously. Sure we rage. I RAGE.

 "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL ON BILLIANZ SWAP MOTHERFUCKER SWAP"

"NO ITS CLEARLY NOT MY FUCKING RING SINCE YOU ARE ALL FUCKING FROZEN"

"CAN SOMEONE PEEL THIS SLAVE WAR OFF ME FUCK"

(Sorry)

Without losing points for losses, we'll all eventually be 3k, so why care too much?

Also there's huge room for exploitation of the current system which I won't yet get into...

with the massive CC duration nerfs across the board tomorrow, do you think anything needs to be done about defensive dispels? it's pretty ridic.

Are you referring to the fact that the points earned per BG win are based on the rating of your team and then scaled by your MMR?

Also rated BGs are quickly turning into four healer + four melee garbage
