Guild Wars 2

Not sure if 2 ppl were really AFK, was too busy ROFL stomping.

P.S. Repost and names removed as per Anet’s policy.

Is this your first 500-0 game! Congratumalations I guess!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

so you won a game? Congratulations

Pretty much my 1st 500 (+103) – 0 game outside of Courtyard 5v5. However I never gotten a 0-500 game (except Courtyard) either, even in 4v5.

Btw its solo Q as well.

Yes indeed, thanks. My opponents were really bad to not even score a single point. I would have raged like hell at my teammates if I was on the opposing team. Guess what I am trying to imply about GW2’s PVP matchmaking system.

No, that’s just Legacy. Any other map (except possibly Courtyard) would have had a closer score.

Nice PVE progression you have going there.

Unranked =/= SoloQ

Unranked =/= SoloQ

Well yes but still. Not unranked and premade.

Nothing stopping the other players on the other team from joining ranked games.

Winning a game 500:0 on the worst snowballing map known to man is not an achievement. Push on all three points in the beginning of the game, manage to win every fight or sustain long enough for your mates to arrive and from there it’s really just holding caps until you are in lord range. Your enemies just sucked and went afk.
Still, gg.

You mean a team who ever played PVP couldn’t even cap one point and score a measly few points? I agree it is not an achievement to crush noobs or nubs.

As for Legacy being the worst snowballing map, I am not too sure about that – Spirit Watch seems pretty hard to come back from. In legacy you could always try to kill the enemy lord if ur team is decent enough to turn things around.

@OP:

I think we all know that the new matchmaking system is a failure. Maybe they will announce a new matchmaking feature for the expansion pack. That new feature will be to give back the old system. That system wasn’t good, but it was definitely better than the current one.

Eh, if both teams go for a 1-3-1 split, all your team needs to do is win the mid fight, and then as long as your teammates didn’t lose the side nodes they can get reinforcements very quickly to win those remaining nodes. At this point you have a 3-cap, and solo queue teams aren’t great at coordinating a proper push on home to get back into the game. After a few failed attempts at mid they give up and go AFK = 500 – 0. Your players were better, sure, but not necessarily by a whole lot.

But what is stopping a team comprised of non-noobs/nubs from 3v1 or 2v1 capping a side node after the initial start? And they didnt rage quit or AFK after the initial 3 cap from what I can tell, you would have to ask my teammates. I think they kept trying for mid.

As you can tell from my screenshot, I had to rez my teammate so I agree skill wise the disparity is not as great. But tactics wise (or experience wise) the gulf is demonstrated by the score.
