Guild Wars 2

I just have to ask because there are teams ahead of us with below average numbers. If i can get some clarification it would be much appreciated.

Maybe its because of decay? You’ve been inactive too long?

Ill be honest we played 3 together earlier in the season and we just happen to see each other again today and we played 3 again. We faced 2 other guild teams so 2 of the games were very cool. We lost 1 and won the other. The 3rd game we kind of crushed them but they were also a partial premade. 3 of us are in ruby and we all went to the guild team leader board and was like huh?

I mean we cant play alot of games together because of timing and we dont expect to be a top 100 team but we are playing other full premade rubies and cant even break the top 250.

So decay is a interesting thought

There was a blog post about it on start of first season I think… they mentioned decay there and why they went for it.

thank you

Yea one reason is most likely going to be decay, another reason however is the type of games you played and the type of games.

These points you get on the guild leaderboard are how league-points should have been distributed for individuals and they also offer insight into how mmr gain and loss actually works, especially to those people that complain that their loss streak will ruin their mmr.

While your team most likely was affected by decay (a positive w/l will always result in you being higher than where you started, just by how much is the question). The team above you has lost 24 games and only won a very few, but most likely they were lost against opponents of much higher mmr ratings (especially at the start of the season) and as such, they barely lost points for their losses

Similarly, with about 18 wins and 9 losses my team managed to get higher than another team that had 30 wins and 6 losses (both teams being active), most likely because that other team played together in lower divisions, against lower mmr-opponents, while by the time we started playing, one of our players was diamond and we were getting opponents with higher mmr.
