Hello, I have an idea on how to get the s3 items in the new season. They will require 1850 rating (or some of them will) and blizz will implement ''Personal rating''. Your personal rating will reset to 1500 each time you join a new team. So buy a new arena team, get a mate. Get you're rating down to like 1100 (might get boring ^^). But when it is on 1100 (could be higher or lower but the lower, the easier) leave it. Then ask your friend to invite you back again. Now you will just face noob teams since your rating is so low and you got 1500 personal rating. That means you only need to get from 1100 to 1450 which is very easy.
Thanks for me
