50/50 Working
I have the same experience. It also feels like 80% of the losses are not caused by me but by the rest of the people in my team doing stupid things and taking unneccessary risks. It really makes me furios with this sill division/pips system.
Its super frustrating I have lost a total of 6 matches in a row. 2 of which I had above 200 points for my team. Pips should of been rewarded based on how well YOU do not the team.
@kahzee, points do not mean a whole lot in this game system… They need to revamp the way you earn points. Because if you fight 2v1 on a point that you have capped you are really helping your team out but you do not earn any points. There are many games where I am on far point and get 3 enemy players pulled over to the point I’m on. If I do this multiple times throughout the game I can come away with 40 or 60 points when the games over. It does not look like I contributed much because you are fighting with 3 other people racking up 15 points a kill the whole game. But these points don’t just go to you. If I come hit the target once I can get the same points you got for fighting the whole fight.
The worse you are in this game, the faster you climb. I know players that wouldnt be ever mistaken for using brain, and guess what? They are all Rank 3/4 wtf, IT MAKES ME MAD that game considers them on same lvl as me. I think thats the problem, Your rank doesnt have anything to do with how good u are. Bad players will get 2 pips for each win and strong players in team to balance them so they can get “lucky wins” if they lose, Meh its 1 pip per lose and 2 pip per win, all you need to do is be RLY RLY RLY bad at this game, but dont worry there are builds for even trash tier player to be somehow efective like DH/Condi mesmers/bunker tempests/druids(noob burst build drud ofc) This game from rly fun pvp evolved into SPAM STUN CLEAVE AND WIN.
Yep. Tier 5 in Emerald. Almost Every time I am about to advance I get pitted against a premade, or I get stuck with a thief for several matches. Personally, I’d rather get pitted against a premade than stuck with a solo queue thief. Thief is auto-loss. I think the next time I get one I am just going to afk or throw the match. There is no sense in trying.

Yup, if you try to get more than 60% while solo you may and will get stuff like this:
5 Solos (4Yellow + 1 Green) Vs a premade of 5, who, like its popular now – have 1 guy in amber – most likely F2P account to farm divisions, a total of 3 greens, 1 yellow and 1 blue.
Now you can tell me anything about MM, maths and stuff. That stuff is beyond broken.

Don’t feel disheartened, you’re not alone.
I have about 50% winrate and most of my games look like this as well.
When I do lose I can say with almost 100% certainty that it was due to imbalanced teams. I get people who don’t understand what they’re doing, or they play bad builds. And the opposition is almost always decent or good.
I’ve seen my team zerg on one point vs 1 or 2 players whilst we have no points running. They basically leave me to cap and decap alone vs 3 or 4 players.
Yesterday I played one game in Kyhlo. I did great at far, managing to hold it for my team nearly the entire game, killing their players on the point over and over. I saw my team fighting on both mid and close without much success but didn’t want to give up one sure point in favor of helping them.
Most of my teammates died at mid when they tried to cap it. Towards the end of the game (we were losing) our engi finally said ’they’ve been firing treb at mid for 10mins or so’. No one communicated about the treb before that. They basically went there over and over again to die without even trying to go and destroy the treb or help cap close.
I’ve been stuck in Emerald tier 4 for a couple of days now and I doubt I’ll progress further than that.
