Guild Wars 2

Solo queue is like MMR suicide… Jesus. For duo queue to exist and be ‘balanced’, it shouldn’t be possible for one team to have two duos and another team with none… Especially at higher MMR. This is crazy

Actually what shouldn’t really happen is rank 1-10 double duos vs rank 1800 and below full solo – however it is a thing. And there are hefty rating losses involved as well for such matches… because reasons.

Yeah man… Dropped from Rank 9 to 200+… Then had to grind all the way back to 50/60. It’s like 3 losses will push you into hell

Isint that Thermite guy top 5 full solo Q all the time?. if the player is good enough it might be possible to reach top spots solo Q

I wouldn’t say it is mandatory, but it does give a huge advantage, especially at higher tier. I have only played about 20 games solo this season, and while I do have a 60% win rate, still, it feels like much more of a coin flip if the game is winnable or not. Of course almost anything can be carried with enough skill but solo gives you much less chance of a good team.

The rest of my games I have been duo queueing with my friends that, like me, are in the top 50-100 and it does show that having just one players that you are sure is good helps a huge amount. Getting to legendary of course is very possible solo, but duo makes it so much easier.

Banning premades and allowing duo queue was stupid from a balance perspective. Obviously people want to play with their friends and I get that it’s healthy for PvP, but having two complimentary, useful classes blows a game wide open when the other team spawns with 5 necro mains who can’t multiclass.

Oh it probably doesn’t show up in the stats since you have a lot of low rank idiots just playing whatever they want, but 2 players who know how to duo is a huge advantage.

Also note that I’m not salty, I don’t think I’ve stuck around long enough to see if there was a duo in my games a single time this season. Just conceptually it’s a dumb idea for balance.
