2v2 random: why it really sucks. A lot.

[Mag!cGuy]

I'm perhaps saying something stupid but...

Arranged teams and random teams have the same hidden rating calculating system. So if an arranged team is in gifted, that means they have a gifted level. You and your partner are in gifted league. Why would the arranged team be theorically better? If they are supposed to be better because they know each other, then they have to be in master. And so the gifted random team won't meet the "advantaged" team.

So, surely arranged team can be better than random (and from my huge experience in 2v2 with a lot of guys, I can say the difference isn't big at all until super titan), but I don't see the problem as for matchmaking.
