5 Solo (2-3 New Players) vs. Premade

Yeah ArenaNet – Get your kitten together.

You have no way of telling if the other players in that game were in queue for 6 hours or not. (Exaggerating) You were probably the high MMR player that made that matchup ‘balanced’ in the system’s eyes. Having high MMR often puts you against premades to balance having 5 solo players.

I dont have a high MMR and im mostly against premades in ranked. Well i dont know whats my MMR but pre patch I was around r200 on the leadeboard which isint high so I shouldnt be vs premade.

Because there aren’t enough people playing the game! Matchmaking will always be bad if there are no players queueing up! Anet needs to find a way to get more people to play! The first step is to introduce a new game mode! It’s been about 2 and a half years and there’s only one game mode! Conquest should be relegated to hotjoins and the esports aspect of the game should be arenas! You know the game mode where the focus of PvP is actually to PvP and not stand on points all game!

The game is confusing to watch! Anet is pumping out all these ridiculous prize money tournaments for the same team to win over and over again because there is absolutely zero competition in the competitive scene! There are zero upcoming teams who are able to even remotely challenge the top teams, of which there are like only two or three across multiple continents! And then when these tournaments happen, nobody knows what the heck is going on on Twitch.tv! Camera angles aren’t that great and there’s too many effects going on, especially when many people run lots of sustain builds so fights draw on for a long time! This is assuming people even hear about the tournaments! There is very little advertising going on at all!

And then balance patches come out twice per year! That is so bad! So bad! Anet takes so long to do anything! How long have the public been crying out for Skyhammer changes! Over a year! In CS:GO, players had a problem with a map called de_overpass! It was changed within TWO WEEKS! Anet please patch the darn game more often! It is very obvious Celestial Elementalists are too strong! When will they be nerfed! Oh well if you go by the 6 month patch period, we have to wait another 2-3 months! Woop dee freakin doo!

Oh sorry Vee Wee started ranting again! Because there’s nobody playing! That’s your answer! Nobody is playing!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Did a developer delete his or her post in this thread?

yeah justin’s post was removed.
i think another forum moderator probably deleted it, along with the other related posts.

justin was replying to a normal member ’s post.
perhaps that post by a normal member got infracted and was deleted by another forum moderator?

i think some one was complaining about how terrible his / hers ranked games have been, and then justin replied with some numbers of that person’s account. that person was complaining about 500 – 0 blowout matches or something.

like saying how the total number of wins is like twice the amount of loses.

and like how that person won 5 out of the last 10 games played, 3 loses and 2 desertions, and justin also mentioned that the match scores for those 2 desertions were quite respectable.

justin started off his post by saying justin himself was genuinely confused.

‘carrying’ bad solo q players against premade isn’t fun. It’s not fun. It’s not fun.

It’s not fun

did you afk again? collero please do the same topics when you farm randoms as a team, stop using double standards

5 PUG should NEVER be matched against a premade. NEVER.

I don’t farm randoms as a team – Not sure where you got that idea from.

also I don’t think you understand the point of this thread.

sure, i don’t understand why AFKer and rage quit boy has an opportunity to even publish something here

seems kind of messed up that you would insta pop with pug vs premade. i could understand IF you were in queue for awhile as well…but not an insta pop.

and ya, problems with the game are not going to get fixed until they fix the problems at Anet, so I hope you are not holding your breathe cause you’re gonna die if you do.

This update is a great setup to build a large base for pvp which has been lacking. I believe it will take some time to build up a new set of solid and experience players. In the meantime you need to learn the heard way by big losses. Get better. Get a team.

Yes because getting zerged/mowed down by 5 people at once that are on teamspeak most likely while you have pve heroes that can’t figure out the second exit of the base is a really fun and interesting learning experience!

This is supposed to happen?

Two of the players on your team were new to the class they were using right there…. the class based MMR isn’t in place yet (correct me if I’m wrong) so they’re mmr may have been higher because they usually use a different class so they had the same high mmr except they decided to use a class they barely use. Also just because he is higher on the leaderboards doesn’t mean kitten, sure he had a decent win loss but yours is still above 50%…. seems like match making doing its job.

But, will they stay? I feel the problem is how big the gap between beginner and advanced players are due to (in part) hidden advantages beyond whip and surge. It’s not as if finding a compiled list of advanced techniques the current system offers is easy to find.

You know nothing.

I don’t mind getting placed against premades. I However, do not like being told I need to score 200 points to avoid getting -1 on the leaderboard. That’s just not fair. I enjoy playing solo or in small 2-3 man groups and don’t mind facing 4-5 man premades, but don’t like loosing rank because of it. It’s like rolling dice to see if you get leaderboard points. Like using mystic toilet to get a precursor. If you are going to stack odds against me, don’t also remove points. That’s mean!
