This post actually follows on from this previous thread.

But thinking about it, it really is a stupid decision on ANet’s behalf given that they are the ones who created the separation in League, yet MMR says otherwise.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Why-am-I-facing-people-in-higher-league/first#post5937442

’It’s a ridiculous design choice by ANet, it undermines their league system.

On principle leagues says that a ruby player is not as skilled as a diamond player so therefore doesn’t deserve the higher tier until its earned. Now obviously that isn’t true with what we know. But ANet are the ones that created this silly league, its a short coming on their behalf that they can simply ignore that.

Why undermine your system by creating this grey area (your the same, but different).

The entire point of Leagues is to progress. Honestly, wouldn’t you rather have a team of ruby players that DESPERATELY want to get into diamond. Then be matched with a diamond that is currently tanking his MMR before he pushes.

When I’m in Ruby I want Ruby opponets, when Im in diamond I want diamond opponents. If your making me fight players in tiers above me then put me in that tier.’

A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

I can’t even keep up with how many /facepalms ANet have given themselves this season. I’d have to agree this is a +1 to that.

LOL, you should have to play people in higher tiers to advance to those tiers. Most games you play largely people from your division, some games you get a harder matchup against higher ranked players. That’s true of pretty much every rating system I’ve ever seen.

Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.

Harder yes that’s obvious, but whats the point of having different divisions if its not used?

What are these examples you speak of?

Have fun waiting in queues forever for the system to find 10 people IN THE SAME DIVISION. I guess you prefer waiting 30 minutes for a full ruby queue than facing a couple diamonds.

Wasn’t an issue mid Ruby as a soloqer, nor was it a problem mid Diamond as one. Maybe your talking about teams <.<

What? Most games don’t have all 10 people in the same division. It will only increase queue times. What would the first 9 people to hit legendary do? Just wait for enough people to catch up before they started pvping again? People don’t think things through… lol

You right, they don’t.

I was replying to your post and all its short comings. As to this post, sure why not, like it would be a total disaster that pro leaguers had to wait.

Actually in ANet’s eyes it probably would.

In any event. There’s no need to mix and match now, because your 30mins wait is just ridiculous unless your talking about a 5 man premade.

EDIT: Lower division smurfing was a big thing start season, so wouldn’t even have been an issue.

ANET, read this guy’s post and understand that 95% of forum users have no idea how things work or the side-effects of their so-called solutions. Thank you.

No, they made many mistakes. This meta was awful. However, forcing matches to only have all 10 people in the same division would create so many problems that it’s a wonder you don’t already see them.

Why would I need to think of ideas for something that’s not an issue? Facing people in higher/lower divisions is something that is implemented in most competitive games. But way to keep this on track
