Guild Wars 2

To always make your win / loss ratio be 50/50 regardless. I’m very off put by the idea to be honest. If you win a few games in a row, the game is going to force you to lose a few to make up the difference, and vice versa. I recently passed the 1000 games mark in sPvP. 503 wins, 497 losses, About 98% of those solo queue. So the algorithms and mechanics working behind the scenes that ensure every player is always 50/50 are working pretty well I’d say. I understand Anet wants balanced matches, and i do too, but the way its manipulating wins and losses to ensure an even win / loss ratio just doesn’t seem right.

Then go play with a team.

To be honest? If you’re hovering at 50%, you’re probably just average. I’m at 64% win/loss.

Means you’re really just a meat shield for your team.

Static, this is not true. The algorithm has no anti streak mechanism as just told by anet a few days ago. You will matched in a game and during matchmaking you got a 50% chanve to get into the better team (better means hihger mmr in this case). If you win a few matches in a row your mmr might get a bit higher so you get harder matches, thats what can happen. But in general there is no mechanism that looks for the past 10 matches and than reacts to the number of wins by putting you into a sure loss or win. I dont know in which of the many traits anet posted this, but this is a post not older than 2 weeks, if you want to search it.
@caine: that just tells that your mmr is not working for you or you go a lot with premades. There are tons of really good players with ~50% winrate.

Wow, aren’t you something special?

OP, I understand your concern, but the MM is not trying to make you loose. It’s just that when you win, he thinks you’re getting better, and matches you against better opponents, to provide more challenge. And that’s good, otherwise you would never get better. Winning every game is not fun.
