Guild Wars 2

League placement qualifiers was a much-needed addition to the league system.

No more “three stooges” at the beginning where everyone (good bad and in between) is clawing all over each-other trying to get out of amber.

Its not often I say this…. but someone over there at Anet is paying attention…. and he deserves a pat on the back for this one.

There are still many things to address about the league system…
…but this was definitely a step in the right direction.

Thanks.

I agree.

I do have a suggestion: allow us the option to re-que with players on our team w/o making a party. I don’t always want to get into a party, but if i get on a decent team i’d like to get some team momentum.

I agree, this is a great change, and is greatly appreciated.

Now, our next request: to be able to queue outside of HotM

Now you get legends/diamonds who grinded last season who are terribad in sapphire.

there shouldve been MMR reset and everyone started at amber with 0 MMR.

but still better than last season so there’s that.

Or better yet, they should implement my full Pre-season suggestion (in the signature). I mentioned using MMR to do the placement, instead of league division (which could be farmed by grinders)

They should’ve went to a straight Elo system where hitting a certain Elo equates to your rank instead of this current hybrid pip/glicko monstrosity that doesn’t work whatsoever. Could’ve made it where them intentionally teamstacking like they do currently wouldn’t basically just equate to giving one team a huge middle-finger every game, where they’d get bigger rewards for beating a better team. Instead of single pips, they could’ve made each rank 250, had each pip be worth 10 or so, and weight some matches to allow you to win 2-3 pips on an upset or lose 2-3 if you get upset.

Instead, we get a system that isn’t competitive, intuitive, or fun.
