Guild Wars 2

So as probably a lot of know, the Q’s right now are just pure cancer. Anet, you’re going for quantity over quality here. However, the thing is that in top tiers, I’m pretty sure almost everyone would rather wait for a quality game where we aren’t being put on teams that have gold tier 2 players in it. I don’t get how its even possible to be 200-300 rating higher than the people you get put on a team with man.

You want people to play, but the risk vs reward is just not worth it right now and it doesn’t make the game fun to play at all. -18 for one game because we have gold players or very low plat on our team is just too punishing. Talking to friends who are also top 250, this seems to be a common problem. It needs to get fixed.

The risk vs reward is seeing who you end up with, will the system and rng treat you good or give you the shorter end of the stick? Or perhaps you should’ve followed Your hunch and waited those extra minutes or hour before q’ing up! Hopefully the other team got more worse players.

I’m sorry, but that theory is horrible. Top tier players shouldn’t be brought down to lower brackets just to find a quick game and lose literally 40 places on LB because teammates aren’t at the 1600+ skill level. I don’t want that to sound harsh, but the loss is insanely punishing especially since you now have to carry that team as hard as possible. We should be getting better games. At the most there should be a 100 point skill gap up or down.

The risk vs reward shouldn’t be RNG though. Anet should have a display of the number of players currently queuing so you can have an idea of how “wide” the rating will be in the match you join.

If players at the top want good matches, Anet should try to facilitate this happening by givng them the option to see how many other good players are queuing. If this sounds too elitist or whatever, it’s ranked PvP at the high end. That’s the entire reason titles like “God of PvP” exist so that’s not really an argument.

There are rating gaps of over 400 sometimes on NA that I have seen and I am only in platinum division. I would much prefer playing with other platinum players. If there arent other platinum players on, I will do as you suggest nacario and just not queue. But it shouldn’t be RNG, that’s just stupid.

I have a feeling the top 10 – 25 player pool don’t want to play each other

Cause they are the same 5-6 people lol

I got pretty much all of my q pop’s very fast today. Went from 1786 to 1650 and just went offline for the sake of it. I lost every single match because of insane matchmaking.

This bullcancer needs to stop

We do, it’s when we are forced to carry gold players it’s not fun when the only reason the other duo won was b/c they farmed your pugs better than you farmed theirs. There are constant in-houses that happen, which are way more funner than ranked. Thus why you don’t see any “top” 10-25 player queuing too much.

As someone who’s on the other side of this coin (a high Gold player who’s been placed into matches with top 10 and other high ranked players numerous times the past week), let me tell you, this kind of matchmaking isn’t any more fun for us either. Especially when you have the “pros” screaming at you for not rotating properly and implying you’re intentionally throwing the match.

Marvin, I’d be interested in some in-house games if y’all have room. I’m so tired of just beating my head against a brick in ranked duo.

Furthermore, I feel like you shouldn’t be able to go against/with people who are not in your division. Esp if you’re Plat 2/3 or Legendary, you shouldn’t be getting gold members on your team. In the case of Legendary, you shouldn’t even get Plat 1 players in your game. The quality is matchmaking, man… I want to claw my eyes out.
