Let me elaborate… wiki states that currently, if you’re the high scorer in your team, it’s less likely that you’ll lose points when you do lose a ranked game.
This strongly discourages defending. I literally just had a game with a guy who was basically a bot who kept running far over, over, and over again to enemies’ home. He died countless times and contributed nothing but he got the highest point from decapping and hence will probably lose nothing. The fact that he’s even made it this far with his gameplay suggests there’s clearly something wrong with the way rank points are awarded.
Really?
The way I read the articles about leaderboards, etc. (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/finding-the-perfect-match/) was that it’s your TEAM’s final score in the match, and not you personally. So, if your team only has an odds of winning of 20-39%, then still if you get 300+ points in that match, you’ll come out with 0 or more points.Which source are you reading?
dondarrion it seems i’ve made a mistake! thank you for showing me the way <3
No problem, happy to show you it won’t be as unfair as you first thought.
Just goes to show, even if you’re losing, there’s everything to play for so that you get the most points possible and hopefully don’t lose ladder points.
