Quick Heads up, I wrote a super long reply, but gw2.com kittened up and told me “something went wrong” so I lost it all. This is more of a summary.
Well, looks like you’re on EU, which would be important to mention.
Other than that, how do you think you did in that game? What did you do well, where could you have done better?
Theres always 3 aspects to consider (not in order of importance): the build you are playing (and whether it fulfills the requirements of the role you intend to take in your team), your in-game decision-making and your mechanical skills.
Your build
I cannot really comment, you definitely get plus points for working out your own variation of a build, that synergizes well within itself. Though I have a few personal issues, like I would be pretty uncomfortable with only 1 stunbreak on a 30s cooldown and only 1/4 uptime of stability. So I would prefer at least one of the following changes, if not both:
slickshoes over bulwark and perfectly weighted over adaptive armor, and I would then probably switch to paladins amulet to retain the bruiser-ish playstyle. Then again, it might work without so I’d be willing to give it the benefit of the doubt to see if it keeps up with the requirements for the role you intend to take, which I cannot really seem to make out anyway because of the following second point.
Your in-game decision making
Right at the start you go far, arrive late, and proceed to die pretty quickly 1v2 on the node. This was, in my eyes a pretty You won’t decap the point 1v2 ever, so you should instead have either, retreated and taken the fight mid, or, which I would have done, kite the 1v2 around the point to keep them busy as long as possible. For this you need to know all the unlikely jump spots (mine is especially good for this since you have range and both of them dont). When you respawn,, your team has 2 points, yet you go far again and stay there for the rest of the game. The only reason this really payed off is because your team won both other node-fights at the time, and the enemy team was pretty bad at properly rotating away. This meta is a lot more snowbally, and extending the fight to 3 nodes when you already have 2, especially on a non-stealth-gyro marauder engi is just asking to get snowballed on. Luckily your team did good, but I would have instead watched the respawn and caught them going mid or close.
Your mechanics
I cannot say too much about your mechanics. Every fight you fought was outnumbered in your favor (safe for the first 1v2, which honestly didnt last very long). There is no show of tactical mechanics, it was more of a dps and cc spamfest attributable to the fact you were outnumbering which does not really tell me about your mechanical ability. What I can say, is you never dodged the glint elite, which would be pretty crucial to watch out for since you only have 1 stunbreak and little access to stability.
So overall, difficult to tell, the match was not hard for you, your team did most of the work for you. That happens to everyone, but its a difficult game to judge ability from, because it was not a game in which your ability was really tested. Further to note is that your opponents also arent very good, especially the warrior. The only name I recognize is Goku, who is an okay-ish pvp-player.
Anyways, I could go into way more depth, but I need to study. If you have any other footage, where you actually “carried” your team by good mechanical plays or good in-game decisionmaking, I’d be very happy to take a look and alter some of the conclusions I arrived at.
I guess if you or anyone disagree with what I said, be sure to point it out, I’m not perfect either
