Guild Wars 2

This isn’t a complaint thread because I’m well aware of the dangers of yolo queing. I’ve noticed what seems to be much worse match making than before however. I really think something may have gotten borked with it this last patch.

For awhile there solo queue was actually working out fairly well. Would get a lot of other solo queue’s and occasionally a premade that was lower ranked.

Lately though I’ve been getting some really strong teams showing up. Today I literally played 3 of the top teams in NA while solo que’ing. My rank and my rating have not changed much I assure you so I can only assume one of two things. Either there are very little people left playing which doesn’t seem to be the case as the mists seem fairly occupied, or there is an issue with match-making.

I’m not whining about it, and I’ve seen other posts complaining about match-making but this isn’t a complaint. I think there’s actually something wrong with it now that might be worth looking into.

Yada yada yada, risks of solo queue etc. I get all that. No solo queue should ever play one of the top 5 rated teams, much less 3 of them in one afternoon.

tried SoloQ yesterday again for 2 Matches and started to rage again^^
2x vs premade with 3 necro and the other 2 necro
lost both

but the strange part is in leaderboards i became +2% for 2 loses – sry but matchmaking and leaderboards in this game are jsut broken and a joke

+1

15 other things

It took me a moment, but I got the joke. You said there are three teams in NA.

I wouldn’t necessarily say what you experienced was poor matchmaking, but one of two things: 1) no one else playing at that time or 2) in the bucket distribution your rating was closer to them than it was to any other players at the time (those both sound the same).
