Guild Wars 2

As the title asks; IF you are in a 4v5 match (on the 4 side) and since your going to lose, and no anet, sometimes you can win…..maybe 1 in 1000 matches, does it count against you? In my opinion it should NOT count against your ranking since you cant control it and its not a fair match to begin with.

Sure, the only problem is that it becomes abusable and anybody who cares about their leaderboard ranking might be tempted to either AFK out or get somebody else to, when losing.

I would hope that rankings at the end of the match are determined by each team’s average ranking. So a team with only 4 players would have a much lower average ranking (if the missing player is factored in as a ranking of 0) and thus a loss wouldn’t drop your rank much, if at all, due to being significantly out ranked by the opposing team. And vise-versa the opposing team wouldn’t gain much, if any, rank due to significantly out ranking your team.

But of course I don’t know any of this for sure, just seems logical.
