Guild Wars 2

ok.. few hours ago, i soloqed.
We had 4vs5, some1 in my team just didnt even come to a game.

Well, even though 4vs5, luckily i got teamed up with ‘Caed (top26), mhuljora (top29), Card the Guard (top 34)’.. and at the time that i was in that game, my leaderboard rank was around top30.

But enemy team’s people consisted of low ranked people who were outside of top100.

So anyway, we won by 500:300, even though it was 4vs5 but our skills are far beyond them.

Here is my wonder,
I heard the system matches people based on their rank, to make sum of both teams rank(or mmr points) very similar to each other.

But this round above was like, top100 vs top1000. idk what just happend. if 5th came in, we would have won like by, even 500:0.

I really dont get the system. can any1 explain this situation plz?

There is a hidden number called your Match Making Rank (MMR). It is not your “level”. If your team is expected to lose because your team’s average MMR is lower than the other team…and you WIN, your MMR goes up. And if you lose, as expected, not much changes.

But if your team is expected to win and you LOSE instead, then all your MMRs go DOWN.

Matchmaking isn’t the problem, its the lack of active players in pvp that is.
