Guild Wars 2

Similar to smite, and any other MOBA. Yeah, yeah I know this game isn’t classified as a MOBA, but can anyone find an argument or justification of having more than one class on each team besides Queue time.

As much as I love the 4 d/d & 1 theif premades that roamed ranked a month back.

How about no? For the sake of diversity.

Diversity of build exists. And I’ve had enough of being punished for playing staff elementalist. I could not be matched in some competitive teams due to the class limits because 2 d/d eles are common ground while I share nearly nothing with d/d cantrip as a air earth arcane no cantrip build.

I think this would be a good idea for ranked, but unranked should stay the same for the sake of queue times and the fact that not everybody will like the whole “1 of each class only” idea.

They could make a mm like wows dungeons? You can chose between three or maybe four specs? Tank , support, dps or mobillity class and queue a match and so there will not be 2 or Møre of the same spec in the same team

This should be a thing only if anet really wants to full steam it into esport. Imagine a team joining a match, a window pops up where each of your teammate picks a class, then pick one out of maybe 10 pre-customized builds for that class. I can see it happening and I can see it significantly improving game balancing and steering pvp into esport but… Will it happen? Dont think so. At least not any time soon.

I dislike the idea, the same way as I dislike the ESL banning 5 ele teams. This game is designed so that every class can “in principle” fulfill every role. That means that a team with 5 of the same class should be allowed and should actually be approximately as efficient as a class mix, as long as the 5 members use proper builds.

What was silly with the 5 elementalists team in ESL was that they all had the exact same build, used because of bad balance. If it was 1 fresh air, 1 staff and 3 D/D, assuming that D/D was more “balanced” than it was (and still is), I would have been fine with them competing and even winning.

there is of course the problem with people signing up as the wrong category by mistake or to troll. but I think overall this would improve games a lot. team comp really matters in this game.

It would be nice but it would take more time to find games. They would have to rework the whole unranked game finder. (it would have to be automated)

That is your argument? One of the biggest issues surrounding GW2 is balance problems which have been consistent for nearly 3 years. To say it is lack of diversity is incredibly wrong. There is no diversity at the moment. There is a reason why these kind of team builds exist. http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_4_Ele_Balanced

And more to the point why 500-100 matches are consistent as well. One team that has a stack of a “OP” class will likely to win.

Staying stuck in the old ways isn’t going to help this game progress.
