Guild Wars 2

…I am back to where I started from. I play solo q, which to clarify, it doesn’t mean that I don’t like playing as a team but as many others I find it more convenient to queue solo.I have about 1k games in ranked and win rate about 50%. I played 25-30 games to go through amber which is fine by me. I wouldn’t mind it if needed even more, at least you know that you will go through at some point . Today i started emerald with 1 pip and 4 hours later I am back at start of emerald with 1 pip. Getting one …. loosing one …. getting 2 (yay)… losing them…one again…loosing all …you get the picture. This is not fun at all, neither encouraging to keep playing. If you decided that making premade teams is the only way to play spvp leagues and stay sane, then just don’t allow ppl to solo q. If you allow it then try to make thinks more fair.

It gets worse, in a sapphire atm tier 1, winning 1 losing 1, i can never get progress.

lol try getting abjured, pz and apex premades

they’re switching their members right now, avoiding each other and just farm pugs

you get punished for having a high mmr
but u also get punished for trying to lower your mmr

I don’t know what the kitten to do here

if they want to play as a team, there are in houses or scrims

ranked teams are purely farm fest, only the top teams will make it because they already picked out the best players
if you’re decent at the game but didn’t get invited to those teams, you’re kitten

Yeah I think I’m done with this game. Constantly being farmed as a solo player is miserable. This game used to be a tonne of fun, now it’s terrible. You either queue ranked to get farmed or queue unranked where all of the clueless players live now.

I know what that feels like. It took me 6 hours to get through last tier in Emerald. I kept being one pip from Sapphire and was just getting awful games. I also figured out I hate not only being matched against premades, but also with. They just group 4 people, no matter how good they are, but you’re going to lose 2 pips if you lose the game no matter what. Just because they were 4. It was pretty frustrating experience and can’t say I’m looking forward getting through Sapphire.

There comes a time when a well-adjusted, sane person realizes that these little somewhat random pips are not worth the frustration and constant turmoil and stress.

In our hearts we all know how skilled or not we are at GW2 PvP on our current class.

Pips in this broken system lie to us, both in how good, or how deficient our skills. Look at your games, look at your fights, you know how you did. You know. Just be your own judge.

So anet, this works as intented , ty for ruining it once again for your loyal players , we surely enjoy and feel rewarded for the time invested when we keep making circles and achieve nothing

Started 3h ago on tier 5 d2 with 3 pips..now im on 2 pips in same tier. I wreck people 1v2 and yet my teams still lose. The kitten is that?

I will name this " the balance"

You think its bad? Thats were my matchups so far today. Its just..

I agree, joining in the league as a solo player ends up being a lottery rather then a test of skill. You win a game, you lose a game, but never proceed on the emerald division. I used a couple of days to get to 4 pips on the first tier as the highest, to loose them all again, one because of a DC in game and dishonor as a consequence. Starting from scratch.
This means that by solo qeuing, one ends up playing solely for the regular pvp reward and perhaps for the achievements as a side gain, but else you will never ever see any progress.
There are many reasons not to join a team, work, family and what ever. I have no ambition to end up in the legendary divisions, but currently any personal effort is not rewarded. Perhaps with a bonus pip for every 10 accumulated wins or something?

Who did you play against to end up with a score of 0 :o
But yeah I get the meaning
I played 9 hours yesterday with friends of mine
started at tier 5 of emerald with 0 pips
9 hours later: I have 2 pips on my emerald. Each time I had one left, I’d lose two-three games in a row and then was back to the beginning.
Frustrating. I just can’t see myself overcomming ruby/diamonds where you can lose tiers
At that point I’m almost willing to go in unranked tanking my mmr. Would get easier match ups, and I’d actually play for the lolz and not the kittening pips

For every person that win someone has to lose. Basically starting at Emerald only half the people can really expect to go up, but it’s made in a manner that you may still go up if you persevere. Actually it’s one of the things Anet did quite right.

What they didn’t do right however is class balance. It’s a disaster, it’s a mess resulting of a total misunderstanding of classes skills, ccs, cd and damage modifiers. It’s almost as bad as ESO and that is saying something.

You either have to run more organized groups with better comp or really play counter meta (which as far as I know isn’t really possible at the moment which is why the balance is so bad)… Run more (I mean only) Chronomancers, Dragon Hunters and Reapers, maybe a tempest if you need the support.

Yes it is impossible to progress as solo Q player. I am always stuck at 0-2 pips in emerald

This whole league system is not fun at all. Wins should give 2 pips and loosing should be -1 to 0 pips depending on how badly you lost. Even with that system you would need to play an insane amount of games in just 57 days to reach legendary division.

It feels like the current system was made for an all year season not for 57 days

Well you got to admit that someone actually managing to hit Legendary does deserve to be called “Primordial Legend” as per the title…

Won 6 in row then lost 6 in a row. I am so sad so very very sad.

Last 3 games were treb fiesta.

I think you need to hit legendary 6 times for it, because the achievement did not progress when i reached emerald.

Malediktus.9250:

Then people would be crawling up divisions with a sub-50% win rate.

No.

Well, it would seem that PvP’s only true value is still just reward tracks and dailies. Still better than WvW at least.

Leagues is not meant for soloQ players. A solo casual player should never reach Legendary.. or even Diamond rank.. for that matter.

That said, if a Solo player wants to ground out 2k games per ladder season, I can’t see why they can’t be compensated.

Some random guild premade vs 4 premade nabs on mine. They wasnt able to do a kitten pretty much. If they ever que again i will report them

update : 2 days later I am still stuck on first tier in emerald with 1 pip…win-lose-win-lose-win-win-lose-lose-win-lose…… also, just lost 2 pips because a war in my team did nothing to help/spend half match afk at start …thanks anet, this surely is loads of fun

Just try to choose a build that can carry the game

Viper revenant
Marauder DH
Marauder revenant
Marauder scrapper
Wanderer reaper
Support chronomancer

and forget about thief – warrior while soloing. U won’t do anything except winning a 1v1 but it’s 5v5 guys. U will get frustrated if u don’t think this way.

Took me three days to break Emerald Tier 5 – was a lot of messed up teams.
There comes a point where you just cannot carry them all.
