Guild Wars 2

Was it that hard spread thieves more evenly across teams?

Fun fact, this wouldn’t be issue on first place, if thieves weren’t nerfed to the helpless pet status on purpose and could actually hold their ground w/o heavily relying on team to do well.
Triple necro is fine, triple guard is fine, triple engi is actually broken as hell, triple thief – you better be 10 times better than enemy team if you want to win.

Either matchmaking or balance team fail, your pick.

Although beggars Bindle is pretty appropriate, team ranger danger has no ranger

Stack 5 guardians 3 bunkers/decap 2 full blown damage all DH you will never go back ever.

It’s worse since no bunker support meta build. But at least, it’s easy for you to “kill” things up.

This is not all from same day.

There’s definitely something going wrong with MM right now. They claimed that matches would be more even, but so far most matches are exactly the same as last season, except this time I’m on the losing side. Every…single…game has had at least one DH on each team, and more often than not, two to three on one team. My last game had three on the enemy team and two on my team. Guess who won because stomping was impossible.

The “meta” DH spec has how many CCs? Shield 5, Heal trap, ToF, F1. Guess how many are instant cast? Only the trap heal isn’t. F1 does require another skill to use though, so I suppose it’s instant in the sense that the pull itself is, but it takes time to set up.

But throw in a second DH and those CCs are doubled. Throw in a third, and they’re tripled. Imagine that with a Berserker…oh wait, Zerker CCs are single target… that actually makes them mildly balanced!

For the love of God, when are you going to increase cast times of traps?

I saw 7 guards in a game once, and I barely play since my main elementalist class has been completely destroyed by the “balance” team ever since HoT’s release.

You will continue to see overload numbers of DH’s in matches until ANet realises they overtuned them by about 300%.

Last 2 matches I was the only non-guard on either team. Yep. 10 players, 9 guards. Both matches, the team that was all 5 guards won. By a lot. Because if you’re not a guard or druid you die nearly instantly to guards with their instant, unblockable, 800(?) range spear-pull-into-trap.

I actually played a match against 4 thieves and a necro on capricorn. That team won. The 4 thieves were a team believe it or not and quite good, and while I being a warrior could handle them the rest of my team could not. My team was dying everywhere lol.

So, with class stacking, the skill of the people on each team still counts to some degree.

lol unranked

Class stacking is not the problem. The problem is unbalanced skill of the stacked class.
If each class has wheight 1, five of the same class needs have wheight 5. If they have more than 5, means that something on that class is unbalanced.

True for example, You would never see thief stacking… or would you?

…aaandddd another day with 3 thieves on my team. I love how it is daily occurrence. Dear dev team either fix thief class or matchmaking. The current combination of those just doesn’t work.

P.S. surely i can switch (which i did) but it is just work around for the bad design. I don’t see why players should be punished for devs poor decisions.

class stacking is soo bad… it’s since the first season we complained about this and arenanet did nothing, i mean , the problem isn’t about ppl thta rerolling is about ppl that want to play with 1 cass or maybe they can play only 1 class and they are put in a team with other 2-3 same classes… it’s soo kittened….

I’m surprised this thread hasn’t been locked yet a moderator doesn’t like it when people post match ups even if all it shows are the classes. Or it’s only the ones hat shows the over balance of DHs being played.

I think their budget for the current game must be running thin considering the last balance patch. They probably have everyone rushing on the expansion.

Just yesterday they closed a thread saying don’t post match ups and it only showed the blue team having 4 DHs and 1 Thief. The Mods reasoning was Posting match ups are not allowed on the forums.
