Guild Wars 2

Hi,

After a few days, I’m starting to be wondering : Is my MMR broken ?

I get way more defeats than victories but I keep being matched up against ESL pro league teams, or top player premades, sometimes several times in a row. (I had to add some of them as friends to check if they are queueing or not before getting myself in queue, in order to avoid them).

e.g. yesterday was something like 1 victory – 2 Defeat – 2 victories – 5 defeats – 1 victory – 2 defeats – 1 victory – 4 defeats…. Total : around 8 win for 20 defeats.
I was thinking, it’s ok, with so much defeats things will become easier.

And today : first match was against More Guns Than Roses (full premade) Vs 2+1+1+me (teamates were good players though).

My ranked winrate was 62% (pre-league) stayed the same for the first week and suddenly dropped to 53% this week whereas my gameplay gets better.

-The weirdest thing- is that I’m still going up in leagues (almost diamond now). I even lost a match but won 2 pips ! (460-500) vs a full premade

FYI : I play mostly solo or sometimes duo.

Is there someone that could tell me if it’s normal ? Am I the only one ?
I enjoy playing against competent opponents but maybe I shouldn’t be matched up against them?

If it makes you feel better, I was introducing a friend of mine to the game and we que’d against Team PZ in unranked ~3 days ago. You can imagine how well that went.

after all these threads or even by your own experience, you guys should already know, how this amazing script is working …

you are not the only one, this is experience of solo queuers majority

After 2 lost – 1win, I was matched again against their full premade (More Guns Than Roses – Pro league) and gained 2 pips while losing 424-500.

Isn’t there something wrong ?

(total including fights against GnR 4 lost – 1 win)

What is your rank percent? That’s the meaningful stat. If you only play 30th percentile players and have an 80% winrate then you’re still losing 20% versus the 30th percentile so someone with a 50% winrate in the 90th percentile would be more skilled than that 80% win rate guy. I’m hovering around 85% these days (percentile NOT win rate!) and I’m only on the final emerald tier. It’s going to get tougher from here on out.

98% according to the leaderboard.

That has nothing to do with it. The leaderboards are old and still have data from the previous season which was only about the amount of games you played.

Know what’s worse about the leaderboard? I just looked at it tonight after prompting from this thread and recognized someone on it above the 99th percentile whose account was perma-banned months ago. LOL.

That means you’re playing against some very tough players. At that rank you should really start teaming up and maybe getting teamspeak. Teamspeak vs. SoloQ feels like cheating since one side has access to advantages the other lacks, which is why there should be separate queues.

WHOA!!!

Before leagues started I was at 296 for the longest time and now at 502 LMAO

I didn’t know it’s active again. When did it happen?

I suffer the same problem as OP. This account is a permanent fixture in Emerald. Meanwhile, the account I bought for $10 is in Ruby.

This game…….

Same issue here… I’m freaking stuck at emerald because 4 pips in a tier means it’s time to throw twitch teams at you.

It is a mystery why the leaderboard hasn’t been reset. The #1 player on that board hasn’t logged in since May.

Also, the rank percent doesn’t look like a meaningful stat at all. The rank is based on points (a measure of how many matches you grind). MMR is probably just used as a point tie-breaker.
