Well maybe that’s something Anet can add where there’s a checkbox that someone can check if they want to be put into a match where the teams are not stacked with multiples of the same class. This way it doesn’t harm those players that don’t care and/or are able to counter it.
1 guard per team is balanced. Multiple guards on a team make a point uncappable short of 2v5 with skilled players.
And the matchmaker does this entirely too frequently (like every game), with a team full of DH’s about 1 in 20 matches.
Guardians, imo, are not overpowered. The reason you see a lot of people solo queuing as guardian, is because the class is much less reliant on teammates than other classes. Classes like ele and druid are much more support based, so they require other teammates who know how to put out damage. Classes like necro are mostly damage based, and they require healing support from their teammates. Guardians can deal good damage, and support themselves with heavy heals and blocks. They don’t need to rely on teammates (who are likely to be bad at the game).
The real problem is the matchmaking system pairing good players with bad players to “balance” the teams out. If you put me on a team with people who know what they are doing, I wouldn’t have to run guardian.
just because you can’t fight 12 traps, blinds, symbols on a single point on top of 30 seconds of channeled block and invulnerability and what is easily the most obnoxious and broken CC aoes all the while autoing for 3-4k doesn’t mean they’re BROKEN or anything, you’re just getting OUTPLAYED.
There is a larg DH pool because they are pretty easy to play If I’m on a losing streak I often play my symbol/medi/trap guardian If I get a team 4+ guardians it’s free win.
