Guild Wars 2

Is it even possible for a team to advance to, say Diamond level in 8 weeks with a 60% win rate (which is the norm with matchmaking giving you tougher opponents)?

Remember those 40% that you lose will REMOVE pips, and even tiers if you get into a bad streak.

This is playing a reasonable amount of time per day, say a few hours a night.

Well I think except for amber league, the rest of the divisions include 93 pips.

Playing 10 games a night, at 10 minutes per game + 2 minute waiting period + 3 minute queue time would take 2.5 hours.

Winning 60% of your games would mean you go 6-4 on average every night, so a net +2 pips per day, meaning 47 days to reach the end of legendary division.

So yes, it’s definitely possible, and even a small increase in win rate would drastically speed the progression up, for example 65% would mean 3 pips per day, or 31 days to reach legend at 2.5 hours of play per day

And that’s with a good team on voice comms.

I don’t think a soloQ PUG has a chance, because they would be facing coordinated teams.

I had a 62% win rate, mostly solo qing and duo queueing unranked queue over the past two months while meeting a good amount of trio qs to premades. I think it’s possible, but I’m expecting my win rate as a soloer after leagues to be more like 55% now, which means 1 pip gained per 2.5 hours played… meaning I’d have to play more like 4-5 hours per day to get to legend :/
