Guild Wars 2

So far this since the start of this season, only counting my solo queue matches, which are about 50-80 guestimating, I’ve gotten matched up with.

FULL ABJURED—twice
Apex premade—twice
At least one player from abjurred- 6times, phanta 4 times.
Caed—3 times..
Tarcis, morph, acandis, firebird, and other high profile players more often than I can count.

How am I expected to compete with this without running cheese?

In a system that punishes people that solo queue for having an above average mmr…we will be forced to run cheese when we solo queue. That or lose 45% of our matches and just focus on trying to play well.

I know so many above average players whose win rates are hovering around 45% after a significant sample of games because of this.

Mine was 65% after my first 40 or so matches, when I ran almost exclusively turrets. Now it’s much lower…zerk flamethrower is bad…

Don’t blame the cheese…blame the system.

The solution is extraordinarily easy: Instead of taking into account “odds of victory” take into account only “strength of opponent”. Heaven forbid we reward people that have high enough mmr to fight difficult matches.

I love how Caed gets his own category.

nothing to feel bad about thats how the game works go cheese to counter the cheese

cyyrix.6105:

I love how Caed gets his own category.

Was most recent…easier to remember.

or maybe blame a character that can consistently carry bad to average players against other clueless players and trick the matchmaking into thinking they are good.

if you could hold 65% win rate against decent players with anything else you’d probably be able to hold your own against those players too.
