Guild Wars 2

I’ve had lots of guildies ask me recently how to win ranked games, and the answer is always the same. I tell them to join a pre-made because match-making doesn’t work.

The match-making system is fine for unranked games if you just want to have fun, but it tends to average out over time. I’ve tested this a couple times, and by no means is this “scientifically proven”, but it’s just my experience with the system. I played 10 ranked games using the match-making system. Of those 10, I lost 4 and won 6. I then played another 10 games where I lost 7 and won 3. After a break, I played another 10 where I won 6 and lost 4.

Using a pre-made, I did the same test. I played 10 games, won 10 games. I played another 10 games, won 8 and lost 2. I played another 10 games, won 6 and lost 4.

My conclusion is: Using the match-making system is pointless in ranked. It’s just a big circle of endless torment where you try desperately to win, and you can, but it ultimately brings you back down. Use a pre-made.

finding one might be a bit difficult.

Yeah, it’s hard to find four others that know their stuff and their class… You’d have to be in a crazy pvp centered guild for that, and practiced with them.

last mmo i played had that. was in a major guild in the leagues. i was obviously in the beginners guild. they put everyone in their squad and you didnt get a different one until you were in the top1% of everyone in the game. become a absolute beast. good practice too.,

Very few of those left in GW2 and the one that are left in the game are closed gated guilds that don’t recruit anything but the best. So good luck and have fun!

I said this on day one of the season 4. Solo queuers are screwed . It’s get premade or go home .

I clicked Yes at the end of a match (You know, those 15 seconds that people really want back). Bam, the next game I had a premade. No voicecoms, no practice. Several wins.

It’s always been this way since Season 1.

everyone who clicks yes on that leaves after for me.

Finding a premade for this game that is more useful than straight up soloQing is magnitudes harder than finding a good raid group for PVE.
Anet should make seasons strictly soloQ
