With bugs, I love invisible CC!

Seriously, GW2 is a complete joke of an Esport.

All those pro players playing all these cheesy builds on ranked to make their win rate even higher.

need a solid base game to build a solid Esport.

and PvP hasn’t been this shaky in a while.

GW2 Esports is a complete and utter joke and a good example of what happens when you let the marketing team make decisions rather than the design/development team who has the vision for what the game ought to be.

New outfit, glider, weapon skin, bundle deal every other week. Balance patch promised but still undelivered. Toxic WvW and sPvP community due to complete negligence yet instead of hiring developers they throw $400,000 into “Esports” to sell more copies of HoT.

Make HoT builds completely overpowered to sell more copies, sure. See how your Esports community dwindles. Out of their 5K viewers for their ESL Pro Leagues I bet I’m not the only one who tunes in to try to win prizes but could care less about watching the matches themselves.

Esports just don’t work for this type of game. It’s lacks the explosiveness of popular esport titles.

Agreed….

Notice how many teams have original class players.

Notice you don’t get to see or have access to all skills used with times such that hacks can be verified to not have been used.

Notice that the esport idea itself is flawed as all this is is watchiong someone play who truthfully are not impressive at all. The play calling like this is football is stupid. The matches need to be analyzed for good play and poor play…which means we need to see target ranges, skill use, cooldowns etc. I think you would find some curious undo able things being done. The worst result of this would be for players to see what the “good” ones do.

Skill is everything
you r kidding me right? (Kappa)

the best esport game of world

Who needs logic when you have self-proclaimed e-sports? Skill is everything, not logic!

This seems more relevant than ever:

Huh, looks like I can keep running my Auramancer Cheese.

Why the heck didn’t they just say here, “We’re sorry but we’ve been too busy to do a balance update. However PvP Leagues is ready and here for you guys! <3”

Talk about letting the fire spread wildly first. Sure, we can flame them for not balancing first but why not just be front about it?
