Guild Wars 2

So.. I’m usually not a toxic player, but this had me fuming. I was just in a match, solo q, with wolf ranked sapphire players in my team. 3 of them were in a party apparently.

Told them not to go for beast at the start, but they insisted to go for beast, claiming that the tempest and DH could bunker mid, while our DH takes home and reaper takes beast.

Needless to say, the one at home either didn’t look for crossovers, or he didn’t call them. So by the time we knew they were there, they were swarming home and beast on the minimap and hence I tried to reinforce home asap. Tempest and DH then followed me and left mid entirely without capping it. So now the opponents had a 2 cap and we had none.

Fast forward, we got rolled, I called them out, and here are the results. Enjoy.

TL;DR Why is the matchmaking and division system so flawed, this can happen? They were obviously players way below my skill level and yet they were apparently sapphire t3 and ruby (no idea if you can drop from ruby to sapphire but eh)?!?

how do you know you have top 100 mmr?

I’ve actually played with you, you definitely know what you are doing.

As for those guys, if I had to gather, given that team queues are superior to gain pips with, they might have just gotten into Sapphire with comms alone, their individual skill was probably awful. In a way, it proves that teamwork and communication can bring anyone up, even lame strats like that.

I had a Foefire where a three man wanted to rush far and then strike lord at start…

I won’t go into too many details, but an Enemy Triple cap negates 150 points pretty kitten fast.

This is the thing I was wondering, how do people reach a hi MMR if they are total * when it comes to pvp?

what is MMR?

This kind of stuff is what is costing me games.

What boggles me further is how do these people reach sapphire if they were so bad?

easy matchups maybe?

Because they started off with low mmr, they get matched with easier opponents. They then win more games and climb divisions faster. The way leagues work is that if you start off with high mmr you’re basically kittened since there’s no mmr reset or calibration.

The system is broken. The above statement sums it up pretty well.
