Guild Wars 2

OK, this is just embarrassing. 3 games. 2 of which were 500-0. This is just not good. I like that you guys are trying new things, but don’t roll things out that aren’t ready. The matchmaking is horrible and there is no incentive for solo players anymore.

I have no interest in playing constant blow out matches. It doesn’t matter if I am winning or losing and is bad either way. I want balanced matchups.

I did learn a lesson though. The old system looks so good right now.

Me and my guild mate ran into this problem, we both solo qued to see the changes and he lost 5 in a row. I went like 5-15 so yeah we feel your pain.

ALOT of people are blatantly choosing to forget that our positioning up to this point has been reset. It means that all the teams. And all the solo quers are in hte same spot. This WILL CHANGE. Teams will move up. Solo quers will move down. Eventually the only solo quers that come up against teams will be those that are skilled enough to handle it. They may not win. But theyl definetly give a run for there money. Youl probably see a few solo quers outpacing the majority of teams as well.

If you take a look at the previous announcements youl see that it was pretty well knwon the first few days or even the first week will be rough. You can either wait out the week. Or you can find a stable position faster by continuing to play to hte best of your abilities. If you lose youl be lowered and they will be raised and you wont fight them again until you rise up to there level or your playing during a downtime.

I guarantee if people are patient a large number of the issues will actually sort themselves out.

I did 5 games today. The first two were against teams. The next three were against lower quality teams that me and my group of solo quers were able to win against. Thats because everyone is shuffling around rapidly and itl take time to get everyone properly situated.

I’ve gotten quite the opposite. I’ve solo queue’d 5 times so far.

4 Blowouts where we win.
1 Close loss.

Maybe it’s my skill contributing, but I haven’t been paired up yet with anybody that wasn’t also solo queue’ing.

3 games here in unranked.

They weren’t 500-0, but it was mostly the other team camping the other. I’ve rarely seen this in soloQ.

This is exactly what I am talking about. It is about the matches being completely unbalanced.

Are you in ranked or unranked?

Both

ranked, compeletly one sided. not enemies too strong, the team were just club less beginner level – -…

edit:i thought it only happenes on my team, but it happened the reverse as well, every enemy were clueless and my teamates all knew what they doing…

Pretty much all games have been blowouts for me

lol most unbalanced s****t ever. Either you fight a premade and get 500-0’ed or you have compplete kittens who just chase the others off point.

Biggest joke ive ever seen.

I played +5 ranked games and won all (solo q’d them)
Ranked aint that balance just yet, u need to patient

Unranked is basically a champ farm.. 7 wins 1 loss (Courtyard snowball)

Ranked is interesting but queing without a team puts you at a severe disadvantage.
Yes you can soloque it! No it’s not the same as soloque..

Played 10 ranked games solo, won 9, almons won 1 ( 495 :500 , tnx to the pve dudes who 3 man svanir couple of times insead of capping points) XD

For the record, Unrank Queue = Hotjoins.
I have had people triple cap home point, unable to dodge treb on an uncontested point, and Lord rush in the first 45sec of Foefire.

Practice = hotjoin
ranked = unranked with the only difference of not counting for leaderboards but otherwise both are exactly the same.

You’re either playing on a new prof, the MMR still needs some tweaking or you got (un)lucky due to the new influx of alot of new players trying the new matchmaking.

And I kinda like we now have hotjoin, an unranked and a ranked MATCHMAKING. Something we really need from release.

Every match I win/lose I chalk it up to new update, leaderboard reset and my ranking isn’t high yet.

So therefore, there’s a good chance I will be matched up with more inexperienced players on my team.

I think the guys complaining know the above but venting is good for relief.

I played five or six unranked this morning, most of the games were really unbalanced (either my team or the other team won easily), it looked like a lot of people who didn’t know how to play were in the games.

I played two courtyard, one was about 50-500 and the other 500-50. The main reason seemed to be one team having more people that knew how to play a bit, and the other with people just walking straight into the enemy zerg one-by-one on respawn.

Courtyard is a total joke, any 3+ team who wants to Q for it has already set builds and will just steamroll.

In regular maps if you get put against a group of 3+ and you dont have that large of a group on your team just afk. These matches are far more unbalanced than prior to the patch. Its a total joke right now.

This.

Perhaps the rewards for unranked need to be reduced, considering we DO want more than a handful of people queueing for the ranked arenas, but at the moment there isn’t really a need. Unranked arenas are just easy wins at the moment if you know what you’re doing.
