Guild Wars 2

I really believe that this one is easy to fix. Just dont let class to stack like 3 engis (and 2 other guys) in one team vs 2 mesmers(and 3 others). It should be like 2engis + mesmer 2 guys vs engimesmer +3 guys. Just mix class more – maybe something about matchmaking. Since this game isn’t balanced in terms of 1v1 classes should mixed as much as possible.

This screenshot is sooo perfectly describing what i am talking about

Super not easy fix. It’s going to force Anet to add an entire matching filter (who knows how long that will take), and often times players in soloq are stacking classes on purpose, for the fun of it.

If players cared more, they would actually make good picks. I mean that as in, if players were rewarded for being good at the game.

It’s based on a player problem, not a matchmaking problem.

Everyone has the ability to switch characters. It’s just a matter of if they care, or want to troll.

I have to agree with Chaith! The whole system would have to be redone. The formula used to pick teams balances out players not classes. Lets face it the best players will win regardless of what class is stacked. This current formula creates teams based on a system that was used to rank chess players and rank them according to who they have beat and lost against. This creates a overall pretty fair match up stacking players based on something as close as you can get to skill as possible with so many variables. However Like Chaith said players choose the class they play. The team will all the thief should have had some volunteers to switch to win the match. More then likely only 1 or 2 of those thief’s are actually any good anyways!

also would increase queue times

You would have to force people to play a certain class in order to have anything like this happen, since people now can re-roll, they just don’t.

Honestly in soloQ your best chances are with their best characters, even if that means you have 3 thieves. I’ve both won and lost games by landslides with 3 thieves on my team. It’s all just the quality of players that they are with those toons.

I would rather have 4 Thieves than 4 Noobs – Can we have an anti-noob stacking filter?

Not only Chaith explained why it would cause more problems than it solves, but also you HAVE to remeber that:

• The population is SMALL, thus the queue would take even longer to pop.
• Some people like to queue with other characters while doing other things and then switch to their “SPVP” character when the queue pops. With what you are suggesting, this could no longer be possible.
• Furthermore, since the queue would take much more to pop, people would have to endure a double loss: they’d be foreced to both wait more, AND wait more doing nothing (because they can’t PvE/WvW with other characters while waiting).

you can take a guess who won that match, yep engis

meanwhile anet just can’t stop nerfing thieves because they are sooooooo OP!!! and buff engis because those are soooooo weak…. says a lot about devs

I can also guess who the guardian was on that team who was swapping characters each time he died to a class or build that could support thieves quicker and fight the enemy team easier, while the thieves complained about how class x is better than class x and how there’s no chance. On that note, Chaith is right that it’s a player issue. No offense to you, but you four decided to play thief, and 3 out of 4 of you are/were complaining about it (one guy even raging at me in that game about it). Arena net doesn’t force people into these situations, the players do, then they whine about class x being overpowered. That’s a loser mentality. Nobody HAS to be a team player (swap classes/builds and try to create team synergy), but in choosing not to do that (or at least trying to learn other stuff for that goal) I think you lose your right to blame anyone but yourself. Good day all.
