Will the changes help?

Blizzard announced several changes for the upcoming season 4 today. Items will continue to have rating requirements, in fact more will have them, including honor items. Still no date on the start of season 4 though, so keep those eyes and ears open.

While Season 3 is still going strong, we wanted to announce ahead of time the rating requirements that will be present for arena items once Season 4 begins. We also wanted to give everyone a heads up to some changes that will be in an upcoming patch, altering how points are gained and players are matched in the arena system. The patch with these changes is scheduled to release before the start of Season 4.
