Guild Wars 2

Matchmaking still needs to be tweaked for 5 man premades vs. solo queues. Have had more than my share of matchups like this in the past week. In the League Season Changes post I know they said there would be no more of 5 vs solos but having a 2 man and 3 solo players is equally frustrating. I understand they are only a small percentage of matches and even then win ratios are not horrible but at least from personal experience and my guildy friends it seems to certainly be an issue.

I understand it’s a slippery slope and when 2 mans get banned then 3… until 5 man premades will wait an eternity in queues to find another full party, but something has to be done. It is still outrageously frustrating and biased. This game was the most obvious to post as it had ruby players versus near full diamonds and they still dominated due to communications.

Anyone having similar issues? Thoughts?

Not horrible???
They are consistently at or above 50%, how much more do you want? An automatic win?

Only 1% of all Ranked matches played in season one were a full five-person premade group vs. a group of five solo players, and even then, the win rate for those five solo player teams in those cases was consistently at or above 50% throughout the entire season.
