Class MMR and Division
Class can only be used for matchmaking/MMR purposes if ANET prevents people from switching classes once they get into the PvP map otherwise everyone will Queue with their weakest class (one they have lost every match they have ever played) and then once they enter map they switch to their main.
“Buff my main class, nerf everything else. "
While I agree. It is silly for me to ride to a division with one class and then switch to another. Anet will likely not change anything because they require you to play at least 3 classes in pvp to get the achievement set up for a legendary.
Im not suggesting much and actually would like to hear some ideas.
For instance ive seen caed and toker on there thiefs in ranked PvP matches and no one is questioning there abilities to get to legendary rank on thief.
But Johhny 2 knifes your like ok lets see how this goes and he dies instantly where ever he goes. Your like he does not play thief for real. Im just want anet to look at this since they have this AP system and people skill level on different classes are all over the place.
Thing is, knowing basics in pvp matches has nothing to do with profession played.
Knowing when to rotate where, knowing when to disengage… knowing when to go for beast… knowing which skills to interrupt, when to attack and when to stow weapons… all things that help IMMENSELY. And have nothing to do with profession played.
But then, thats also stuff about 80% of gw2 pvp players dont know…. so whatever.

This is true aswell but
Im playing people in ruby/diamond/legendary and every other game im seeing Duo Ques from people in the ESL league and there not on my team which becomes a huge PiP thing for me.
There have been a few times a legendary thief was on my team and i was like WOW but the majority of people cant play 1/2 as well as them. Then you add the fact that at the high level games everyone is kind of on the same page even solo queing and not saying anything but 1-2 people played a class for fun and everyone quickly realized they cant play at this level with that class.
Certainly there are alot of people who excel at many classes so i dont know how you grade this but i know for myself i can not play warrior, thief,mesmer,guardian at the same level as ele,necro,ranger in the current meta.
