Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

First of all, i dont want to cry about anything, i want to make Anet aware of my strange matchmaking lately, because i feel like there is something wrong happening there.

I have played a lot of matches, but mostly unranked or hot join.
Before the Leagues were introduced, i played like a couple of ranked matches, but left it at that
With Leagues released i started playing rank matches, first on ranger but i very soon switched to revenant.
As you will see from the screenshot attached i dont have many matches on my revenant.
The problem is, that i seem to get matched up way too often with and against people that are way better than i am and way better than the people on my team. From time to time i get matches with people from recognizable pvp guilds.
When i lose, i usually get completely destroyed. Even if the numbers are close, the matches are no fun at all and include several team wipes.
On the other hand, when i manage to win it is the other way round, i even feel sorry for our opponents.
I queue up mostly alone, sometimes with guildies. Interesting fact is, that as soon as i leave our guild team they get way more enjoyable fights and win quite a lot.

At the moment i am in emerald division, but i cant get out of tier 1.

All in all i might be wrong here, but i really feel like there is something wrong with my matchmaking. Maybe there are other players out there who have the same problem as me.

Thanks for taking your time.

Regards, Amazona

Hi Anet,

I’m one of the aforementioned guildies and I can confirm there is something very wrong with Amazona’s matchmaking.

This afternoon 3 of us queued up. Amazona had less than 10 ranked games played, Chilly had 12 and I had none before this current league season. The caliber of the opponents we were facing was certainly way above what you would expect with no ranked MMR history. We lost 7 in a row (at least, can’t see further than that on history).

As soon as Amazona stopped queueing with us we have currently won 3 games. We are most definetely without him facing people with more similar MMRs. I should mention that Amazona’s winrate and matchmaking woes continue for him when solo queueing,

It seems to me (have seen this mentioned on reddit also) that Amazona may be getting matched up based on his unranked MMR but that’s just a hunch. Obviously though this is at odds with the developer response that says they are completely seperate.

Would really appreciate a dev response for Amazona on this.

Thanks

Mmr reset for leagues or the removal of mmr affecting matchmaking would have fixed this issue for many players.

MMR is there for a reason.

MMR is there for a reason.

It doesn’t make sense to have Division system and MMR at same time..
Players should be matched based on their divisions. Yes, players like Helseth would have easy games early, but then later they would struggle against one each other… now they will permanently struggle against each other…

Yea I’ve noticed similar when queuing up with guildies, most of whom were pretty new to pvp in general. They had been winning, or at least having even matches til I joined, then we lost a few matches, against players that were easily more experienced than most of my team. So I assumed it was due to my being in the party mostly. Not sure how things went for them after I left the party.

Thank you for your fast response!

I never thought that my mmr was that high, but i guess this explains a lot then. I’ll play more matches and see how it goes.
