No offense to anyone individually, but for me personally this was the worst matchup to have fun roaming for weeks and months. It was probably just bad luck, but I haven`t seen a single roamer from Riverside (except an charr engi [LLS] or something) or Vizunah that was not running some phantasm mesm variant or warrior (so fun… and skillful, too!).
On some days I was lucky when I met roamers at all. Yeah, and when I finally found someone willing to put up a fight, within seconds a wild bunch of pve rangers in berserker mode on their way to the next zerg would show up, blindly spamming 1 onto anything that is red.
The sad thing is, I am already solo roaming mostly in the very early morning hours (because thats usually the only time I find quality roaming action in gold league without getting chased down by the next best angry zerg), but this week, just impossible – it`s either go bl`s and meet nobody… or go EB and face one supersize Vizu blob and a medium sized Riverside one. Roamers? No…
As written … more or less
In your individuall PoV of high class roaming you may be absolutely (and sadly for you) right, in a more global PoV imo it was a quite good matchup
I don`t want to diminish the matchup`s quality for other playstyles at all. It`s just that mine doesn`t find the necessary counterparts to have fun this week, there just is nobody leaving his/her cozy comfort zone of t3 keeps or x friendlies anymore looking for solo/duo action. Leaves me a bit frustrated.

God, I hate gold league so much.
Maybe it is due to the fact that Kodash roamer are only using the most “OP” 1vs1 builds ever made from perma stealth thieves through to healing signet warriors or shatter mesmer. I personally haven’t seen 1 single roamer the whole week who hasn’t used one of these builds and I roamed nearly everyday in the early mornings.
It’s not really fun to play against these players when you know that the build is carrying them.
Describing the only challenging mesmer build there is (pure shatter) as “OP” disqualifies you quite a bit. New to the game? To be honest, I play since pre-release that would be about the first time I hear someone saying shatter mesm is OP…
A shatter mesm has to work for his results, there is actually risk-reward, condi mesm imo is the culprit, relying on AI and confusion and 6sek cd teleports with stealth – ranger 2.0…
And no, i`m not a shatter mesmer.
Apart from that you`re describing exactly what i felt about Riverside this week (please read carefully, I know there`s good players on RS). Let`s just agree the week was really sad for (solo-) roamers.
Vizu do you know how many omegas you have build (and lost) this week? Would be really interessting to know the total amout xD
There is one thing I like to inform you about and I’m not hundert percent sure nor I have detailed information. But at ~4 o’clock in the morning I saw two enemies running along wildcreek, so I descide to leave our eternal keep and take a look. In the moment I arrived there two warriors killed a doly. After that they completly ignored the camp and run into the dredge. I attacked them in that moment, but they ignored me. As if that was not strange enough they run exact the same path and casted the same skill in exact the same moment. I first did not realize and we were also under your attack in that moment so I had to abort. It all went a bit fast… I have no guildtag or something like that and I’m absolutly not sure about. Maybe the two are reading this if I’m wrong or maybe someelse noticed this too?. I just want to inform you that there may be a doly bot or someone is dualboxing… Just keep an eye out!
