Guild Wars 2

How many patches in soloq end up 4v5 for you?

For me I’d say roughly 35%. There seem to be three primary causes:

1. The player is afk
2. The player rage quits
3. The match starts with just 4 players on one team

Choice #3 has been the number one reason in my experience, followed by #1 and of course #2 last and most rare.

Imo, there shouldn’t even be a active leaderboard until issues such as undermanned teams are addressed.

maby 1 in 100 games start with 4v5
maby 3 in 100 games people leave mid match
maby 10 in 100 games people go afk cause losing

ye – this

Your current MMR and time you play greatly affects your odds of getting 4v5 matches.

This sounds most accurate to me.

I find more people rage quitting on me than anything. Saying they are going afk and that we list even when the match is something like 200-130. Very frustrating when this happens as I’ve turned around games from 470-350 before. Then you get the afk people coming in next. Unless you count rage quitters going afk part of being people going afk then afk would be number one.

Sometimes I see people playing, then standing still on the spawn for some time, then starting to play again. Odd.

Sometimes people crash mid-fight and log again after 1-2 minutes.

Which gives you a guaranteed 14 losses in a 100 matches which is obviously 14%. Makes you win 50 out of 86 matches which is still a poor 50% w/l ratio. It is a terrible handicap for all players and makes skill and teamplay underrated and amplifies the luck factor.

I’d say the percentage of my matches where all 10 players are present and active is now in the 50% range. This is, of course, beyond awful.

I was just in a tPvP match where everyone was playing. Unfortunately, every single person on my team was under rank 20, and every single person on theirs was over rank 20.

And respectively, you will also win 14 of those matches due to 5v4.

Like I said, it amplifies the luck factor. How much will your case derive from the average. Getting more freebies or getting more 4v5s

Statistically, if you never cause a 4v5 yourself, you’re more likely to get a free win than an unavoidable loss.
