Guild Wars 2

I could be possible that the poor matchmaking has pushed out too many people and the hemorrhaging of player base just compounding the situation. I know now I avoid un/ranked due too buggy queues got old.

Matchmaking has always been bad no matter what they done because the player base isn’t there and growing smaller probably.

Actually, i’m surprised they actually did so much for pvp considering how small it is compared to PvE/WvW

Someone very high up must be completely fixated on the dream of esport and so we get all this focus on it while they try to apply that focus on all three game modes. Not sure if there is anything that can be done as it seems much of the player base doesn’t seem to want to deal with any new influx of player.

Something semi-significant every 6-9 months is close to nothing at all. They talk a big game though.

spvp was amazing when we had solo q and team q separated

Solo players still face full or four-man teams a lot, many of the match-ups are really lopsided, etc.

I consider facing four-man teams a good way to learn to play better myself when solo-queuing, and if you do manage to win it makes the victory so much sweeter.
Sure it was fun when they had team and solo seperated but I honestly do not mind so much as long as I don’t just meet full teams all the time. Also, try to communicate with your team, even if you’re all randoms. You’d be surprised how much you can accomplish with just some basic tactics in place (like, cap outer points first, collapse mid or go 1 short, 4 mid etc.).

The lop-sidedness of matches tends to come from the fact that a) people in randoms dont speak at all, have no strat going in, subsequently get butchered at the start and then keep running back to a point 1 by 1 instead of taking the time to regroup,

and b) some people just give up if they get behind at the start and afk or just stop really trying. Once again, if you communicate a bit with your team before and during the match and try to keep a positive attitude instead of just telling everyone how crap they suppsedly are you will see how much more fun your matches become and how you suddenly start winning more as well.

I bet any dev can prove you otherwise with their metrics.
