This grind socks. I have been pvp focus from launch of game. Rank 300ish over 5k games in pvp have a win loses about the same mainly because I solo que and always go vs pro players when season is over so of course it will be win one loose one but I always play well and give grate games. But with all this I start in Bronze? I don’t understand? I have had to grind 100 games just to get to gold Lmao! But when I looked at leader boards top 10players where at like 10 wins and top plays and I was at like 50 wins 10 looses but bottom! I bet if everyone started in Bronze these pro players will still be there as u can only carry so much in these games. I am 1v3 and win and game can still loose? Why did I start at bottom? When I have proved every season I am leg? I don’t mind it if everyone was equal and had to face role to top but why did I had to but people like my brother who is new to pvp with only few games and sucks BTW start In gold? It was a insult to me. BTW still in gold it’s bloody hard to get out of as it’s a 4thf me vs 4grd ele thing. “change class mate?” them. No can’t only got thf! Me. What? Them. Sorry… Me. “but this is ranked u should at least be pro enough to have 1 alt”.. Them. Nope don’t worry u will get asended gear and pips anyways… Me." but I don’t want that crazy gear I want points".
Pips on a loss is just a joke. But then again the players who play for that Pve gear should Leave once they get it right? So all might do one by Jan and I will get a good enough team to have a real pvp match. Also if they do a update it should be a 3man que.
I expect no change in season. It will come after season.
Problem is that with the placement matches they butchered the MMR system.
I don´t think we can get out of this without MMR reset and high ranked enter requirements like you can only play a class in ranked after 30 victories in conquest + no pips on losses mabe 1 for top stats. Shure this will be a barrier for casuals and PvE players that only come for rewards but it´s ranked.
What might help:
Players can´t use a CLASS ranked before they got 50 conquest VICTORIES with it.
And this also for exisitng players so even i would be able to play only two classes despite having over 1k matches.

So… You suggest to kill variety which will certainly lead to even ore stacking? I don’t think that this is a good idea.
Btw: You suggest that one can enter ranked with 30 wins but isn’t able to play any class there until he won 50 matches with that particular class? Interesting troll :S
ok i see 30 and 50. MAybe 30 is enough it´s just numbers. I want to be shure that if you enter ranked with a class you proved you can play it at least to a basic level.
I am confused about how you landed in bronze. I played 2 accounts this season just to test out placement, this account doesn’t even HoT lol. Main account placed in low plat with 6-4, this account placed in high gold with 8-2 (i played them all solo on a thief o.o). How do you land in bronze? I can understand gold or silver, but bronze????
Yes I was as well I thought maybe it was because of the first 10games I only won 4/10 2 had afk trolls I think alt accounts? But later I read after don’t effect score then I thought maybe it’s because I have had so many games like everyday for 3 years so many losses in that time. My win loose is very 50 although this last year I win more than loose because more noobs to farm (due to adding Pve gear) and less premades to fight. I have made 3threads asking why they put such a experienced player bottom Bronze with the brand new players. It was not fair on them as I would just rip them apart on my thf and it’s not fair on me that I have to carry every game and lead them.

I’m Rank 300+ with 7k games played, most of them ranked. I downloaded game to check new pvp season, didn’t really understood what is placement matches, so I soloqued them not even try hard.
Ended with 6-4 placement matches in bronze t3. After that grinded soloque about 80 games to get to platinum with 66% win ratio, then started duo queing for win getting +5 rating and for lose -30 got back to gold t3.
Tho in overall matchmaking was really good for me most of loses was 450-500, rarely had match that was lost less than 350-.
I also got non HoT alt account who is barely rank 20 not even all placement matches played and is higher than main that I been playing 4 years…

Coming from experience in most of the other actual Competitive PvP games. This is a requirement before you can enter ranked with that character or class. But GW2 is not a PvP game it is a MMORPG thus caters more to PvE then anything else so I also don’t expect ANet to allow the ranked game to truly show how skilled we are as players. Instead all ranked in GW2 is, is just a causal game mode that give out pointless titles and PvE rewards.
That’s why GW2 gets less love then the other mainsteam MMOs on youtube and Twitch. Because people want to watch competitions against players not competitions of RNG or Stacked Decked matches where about %80 of the time the MM has decided who needs to win and who needs to lose to allow or prevent advancement.
The extremely soft MMR adjustment was only to protect it’s ESL so called pros. I say that because sometimes in bronze I find players that are way better then the ESL players.
I maybe a troll with class.
But at least I admit it!
PoF guys get ready for PvE joys
I think this one change would clean out ranked and give a much better game quality. Don´t know how heavy this would affect ranked player numbers, but all that want to go for ranked should have no problem to open the way within less then a month and thus realy train.

I think this is because your individual mmr depends so much on the mmr of your TEAM. Matchmaking doesn’t reward individual skill at all. In fact, I think it benefits full 5-man teams.
Also, I find that the harder I play, the WORSE teams I get!
Yes, the “pros” will always be protected by ANet, that is certain. Trust not one thing they say about PvP and their “solutions”. They’re only going to protect themselves. Do you ever wonder why we have the same teams in ESL each season? It’s because nobody cares!
If gw2 was truly competitive, you would have a plethora of teams, hundreds, not just 8 or so. In fact, I doubt the current proleaguers would even sniff the top ever again.
