Guild Wars 2

So today, I solo queued with a 1800+ rating, and ended up with a player who said it was his first time playing Ranked this season. Turns out everyone on the team was really low in rating too… why and how is this happening? Thank you.

Hmmm my first guess would be: we are ont the middle of July and people take vacations/summer job which results in an even worse matchups than before due to population being lower than normally. Did you play off-peak hours as well ? Other than that how can you be sure that the guy wasn’t just trolling you ?

It was at around 1 P.M. pacific time.

I, like many others, have summer break. I don’t think low population is an issue, but you never know.

I’m sure the guy was dead serious. He was a mesmer who died to their revenant in a 1v1. To add to that, I 1v2’d their gs Druid and condi Thief at home and WON (even tho the point got lost), and yet, our team got wiped in a 4v3 at mid. It was one of the cringiest matches I had this season…

I just had two matches in a row with all kinds of wonkiness…

First one we were clearly facing high/top level players, they coordinated very well and wrecked us. While I was 1v2’ing (on my scrapper, don’t get excited), they murdered my team 3v4.

Second matchup… we lose a player 1/4 the way through the match (DC’ed), and we still won 4v5 560 to 240 on the ship map.

What is going on?
