Guild Wars 2

Hi Anet,

I need you to do one of two things. Factor team composition into your matchmaking or balance your game.

That is all.

So how do you want them to factor that in?

If they see a mesmer, should it be assumed that it’s bunker, or chrono shatter? Or maybe even condi?

If they see a thief, should they make the win ratio 0%? Even if it’s Caed?

I can go on, but there’s no chance of that happening unless they kill build variety entirely.

Or make a system where someone could say “I’m doing X”. But… I’ve played the games that had that, and they sucked just as much, if not more.

When you load into a game, you can swap classes. That’s more then most games offer IMO.

If I wasn’t a joke on every class but one I’d swap. Seriously, you’d want a chimp playing instead of me when I’m on an alt class.

I don’t really care how they factor it in. I don’t like that I can count the number of mes/ele/rev on each team and then am able to guess which team will win most of the time.

Edit
Also in what world is it okay to pit 3 condi reapers against 2 eles?

In a world in which the majority of the queue for your division is condi reapers and eles. That world.

ANets algorithm probably takes class stacking into account, but at some point you have to give that up in preference for MMR & q times.

For some context, I’ve been away from the game for a bit primarily because the meta is just so uninteresting.

I figure maybe something has happened and people have been able to adjust to the meta and jump on for 3 games.

But no, nothing has changed, which I thought was probably the case, but wanted to try to play some anyways.

I’m assuming thief and warrior are still clear bottom tier in the current meta based on what I experienced.

How is 3 reapers not different? (And a lot of DH stacking)
Weren’t those literally kicked out of the meta not too long ago by bunker mesmer & condi rev?
Nerfs seemed to have done some good.

Unless by a “bit” you mean a month or so ago.

Haha, ironically I’m the same. I’ve decided I need to learn another class properly to stop being so one dimensional.

Nice try at making a backstab nerf on Mesmer OK. The one and only way to fix matchmaking at this point would be to force everyone to queue solo.

not working well ? Can’t be, i just lost full soloq vs full premade, 600/25 with a rage 35 sec after game started and lost a pip
