Guild Wars 2

Well I made a thread earlier about this with a slightly more provoking title but now we will try the Zen route so my efforts don’t get deleted ^^.

1) If you lose a game it is ok! Maybe you will learn from your mistakes and become a better player for future seasons to come : D.

2) Losses happen whether you are good or less than good, consistency over long periods of games should be your goal some losses are unavoidable!

3) When you see someone with an early ruby emblem know that there is a chance that they did it by themselves, yes there are some extraordinary people out there, who know’s maybe they were blessed by Lyssa herself!

4) Remember that Anet loves you, whether you have that shiny backpiece or not you will always have a place in Anet’s heart <3

5) Focus on your own play and do not get distracted by your teammates banter unless you are on ts, even the best of the best make mistakes all the time try to minimize them by concentrating!

6)Pick a build that you enjoy and spam it, the less you have to think about your spells the more time is spent observing the enemy’s and/or the minimap; knowing your profession is only one aspect of the game after all!

7) If you are on a losing streak take a break and play to win always do not play to ‘not lose’ if that makes sense!

8)Understand that if you exceed a certain level of mistakes you deserve to ‘not win’, the more strict you are with your self-criticism the faster you will improve!

9) Never bm your teammates, it is a fruitless act and shows a lack of discipline; take a break and hit the gym and make that negative energy productive!

10) If you are ever matched up against great players take it as an opportunity to learn and challenge every 1v1 you can get; learning is more valuable than winning.

11) Play the meta, if you try to be unique or unless you are good enough at this game to break the meta with your genius maximize your chances of winning by playing the most versatile builds out there. Game balance is another issue do not concern yourself with it, you are here to improve after all.

12) Do not expect your teammates to carry you; if you want to be the deciding factor in games you will have to accept that the burden of winning is on your shoulders.

Ty for your time and God bless you all <3

Ty sir and I forgot to add one more crucial tip from my experiences! Know your win conditions, if you end up with two thieves on your team do not try to force grouped fights, play on 3 points whereas if your team is less mobile try to hold a two cap as it minimizes the mobility weakness your comp has. Conquest may seem like a simple game mode but actually it is incredibly complex in it’s own way and understanding win conditions is something that takes alooooot of experience and a thorough understanding of all the professions that are in play.

Nice post.
Well i can´t do point 11. Its against my character XD …. Oh wait i did break the meta already in other games and did it last summer in GW2 …. Hot screwed all and it starts again … :-). I am always seriously concerned with balance. It´s my nature..

I agree with everything in this post. The only games you shouldnt be learning from are absolute stomps in your favor where you are farming the enemy one at a time on far.

Another point I’d like to expand on, taking breaks. People are very quick to blame teammates, but the only consistent factor in your games is YOU. If you dont improve, youll only reach high levels by being carried there. If you keep getting a terrible team or unlucky comps, take a 10 minute break. They will have had. Their queue pop by that time and you will get different teammates.

The stick with one class is especially important. I only branch out and play different classes when i have no pips to lose, warming up with an unranked game or two first.

No no my friend this game is about having fun after all. I mean 3 years from now who is really going to care how far you progressed in this game : D. But, unique builds can be good but you might be putting yourself at a disadvantage; as long as you are fine with that you can probably get to whatever rank you want anyways. There is a twitch streamer named xerrex who i love watching who stomps with unique builds; but he compensates for it in raw skill and game knowledge. Nothing stopping you from doing the same

Edit: but i think people underestimate how fast pros figure out the meta, it is rare even in tcg games for very powerful elements to go unnoticed.

If it is true that high skilled teams are being set deliberately against low skilled; Then arena net has consciously created a situation which will result in a majority of players having long losing streaks.

That being the case, the tips won’t help much. The deck is stacked going in.

While I’m certain that the esl players enjoy the situation… I don’t. How is it fair to set up the game so I have heavy losses by design?

Sometimes the difference between being a pro and being a great player is that 5% move, that one cooldown you held that one extra daze you accounted for. That is why i encourage build spamming because in this meta that one interrupt can really carry a mid fight

No wories. I enjoy and i have a very thick fur :-). I just feel other don´t enjoy the stampede roling over them …

Maybe you are better off waiting a few days then and joining some unranked or wvw roaming or what have you. There is still plenty of time to get whatever rank you want if you are certain you are going to run into them now.
