*etc i couldn't care less, it's all just useless trash that's not doing anything functionally - except motivating umpteen-million bots to queue and throw/afk.

that's the only reason someone should pvp. they need to get rid of those trash rewards so we get less afkers. pvp for pvp's sake = more pvpers, less afkers/throwers.

what lag? i haven't experienced any change in connection quality whatsoever; it's exactly the same. nor has it for anyone i know/play with and we don't do anything but pvp. sounds like a personal connection, route, ISP problem, or perhaps you're just experiencing client lag.

naive isn't even close to the right word. to be even remotely applicable you'd have to use a term like "psychotically delusional". that said, regarding the pvp itself and not matchmaking. it's definitively not broken, it's PvE centric trash by design. if they wanted the pvp to be good 8v8's would be a deathmatch too.
