I'm down to my last achievement needed to complete Battlemaster which is the veteran achievement to win 100 games of strands. I've strictly queued for it 3 consecutive days and managed to win 8 games out of 40+ played. I tried to form 5 man groups with friends and after 1-2 games they had enough, because 5 people can't overcome the badness of alliance in that battleground. I don't know what is so complex about peeling your team's demos or focusing enemy demos and getting the hell off of the beach after a gate is destroyed to protect the next gate/gy flag but it's just amazing how bad the alliance are at one of the simplest non 40 man battlegrounds there is. When it would come up on random I just wanted to smash my head off the wall, but now I have to queue it over and over and over if I want that Battlemaster title.
