It is really annoying especially when we are facing stronger team over and over again… Last 14 days, we play everyday like 6-8 game with the same teams… I know that its because there is noone else to play with, but seriously… why do we have to face team which is obviously stronger over and over again? It is really DEMOTIVATING! Can we get some teams that are equaly stong? This is really getting annoying… We get everyday 6-8 loses just because we face the same team again and again…

Today my tPvP group had 3 times same enemy team againts us and after that we got other enemy team. We fought 3 times them and then we got another team to fight againts. Guess what? We got again the ones we fought 3 first times… but yea after that we got few other teams.

But anyways I got a bit same experience with LoL too :P atleast back when I played it…

Feel free to argue with me. You learn something every time and it develops your personality.

People seems using word “trolling” out of context way too often…

He is talking about team que, most likely.

There simply aren’t enough teams to sustain a healthy gaming environment, and without a serious change before the Holiday season and the release of competing titles it isn’t going to get better.

Cross your fingers and hope that things can get fixed quickly. There isn’t much more you can do.

Read the thread…it’s all about matchmaking for solo queue. Instead of forming TEAMS of similarly ranked players (which ends up with teams full of lowbies playing against teams full of top ranked) the matchmaking will randomize the players on each team after the 10 players have been selected.

GW2 PvP is terrible at holding on to players, it’s only doing alright atm, the population probly isn’t still decreasing, because there are no other big title MMOs for PvP so there are still players joining/coming back… but when one comes out, GW2 is kittened.

The GW2 devs just are incapable, for some reason or other, of making the game’s PvP last.

Read the thread…

I read the thread. Did you?

OP says “We” played the same group 6-8 times.

The second poster references his group.

I agree that solo que matchmaking is broken and needs to be addressed, but this thread doesn’t seem to be about solo. It is about team que.

At any rate, neither is in a healthy state right now. Both need fixes. Surely we can agree on that?

Did you read the dev post? I guess not:

In response to:

Nope, your fears are true. It picks the first five people it can find with the closest MMR ranking, these are typically the best players. Then is picks the next five it can find, which are typically lower-MMR ranked players because the population playing SoloQ is so low there just aren’t 10 players of similar rank.

There have been MANY threads showing this with screen shots. ArenaNet has not given a date as to when they will get around to mixing up the two teams randomly before starting the match.

Justin O’Dell posts:

This should be fixed in the next PvP drop, which may be next month, not sure.

We’ve got even more substantial matchmaking improvements on the radar, but those won’t make it in until sometime next year.

I think system MMR should give first player to team A, then second player to team B. Third player to team A, and thourth to team B.

Doing this biases the outcome in favor of team A.

Alternatives, ordering players from 0 to 9 by rating:

Less bias
0 3 4 7 8
1 2 5 6 9

slightly less bias
0 9 2 7 4
1 8 3 6 5

Starting next PvP Drop (1-1.5 months if it doesn’t get pushed back) when two teams of 5 are assembled for a match, the players on teams will be scrambled to prevent mismatches.

Right now the matchmaking looks to make a team out of you and other players ranked near you then seeks to match you up against another team. What ends up happening is you get team of 5 top 200 players up against a team of 5 players in the 60th percentile.

Starting next patch when the two teams are made the matched up against each other the players on the two teams will be scrambled so you don’t have a massive imbalance.

Kittens, it only took three kitten posts to explain it to you when you could’ve just read the kitten thread O_o The reason team queue matches you up against the same teams over and over is that there’s never more than 5 teams playing team queue even on Saturday peaks. zzz that doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out.

I think you’re crossing threads my friend. This thread is about team queue. You are wrong.
