Guild Wars 2

And just pair 10 random players that are close in division, tier and pips. MM would just have the 10 players names in a hat, shuffle hat, pick 1 name and that person is on blue team. Pick another name and that person is on red team. Keep doing this until all names are pulled from the hat. And there you go, problem solved Anet, nobody qq anymore.

People would still QQ. Always.

You know… I would prefer to do the opposite.

Remove PIPS from the LEAGUE.

Put back the OLd MMR 2014 system.

Give Legendary to the top 1 to 200, Diamond to 201 to 400, Ruby to 401 to 600, Sapphire from 601 to 800, Emerald from 801 to 1000 and Amber are unranked.

So, you will get your BADGE and Legendary stuff REALLY for your SKILLS and not because you GRIND the SLOT MACHINE.

Yeah, that would work too. They could still keep pips or at least tiers though to show where in the division you stand.

The #1 player on the old leaderboards was a turret engi back when that was a thing with a 48% or so win percentage who got there by grinding matches though.

I don’t think the old leaderboards had anything to do with MMR though? He’s saying the top 200 MMR players would be in legendary, 201 to 400 in diamond, etc.

You are wrong. Turret engi was a thing in TEST SEASON 1 and TESt SEASON 2 grinding stuff.

Old leaderboard system, you coul be top 1 with 30 games played because you did win versus the best teams of the game.

The decay algorithm was not fast enough, so people simple sit on their rank. That was in need to get tuned up.

It was 100% based on MMR.

If you were rank 1 in the leaderboard, it means you did win versus the previous rank 1 guy.

When you did soloq into the TEAM rank queue, (it was possible) your MMR was matching with the team you did join up and the enemy team was into your MMR range.

Since 2015, ANET is giving US GRINDING GAME to RANK up that is way different than SKILL based RANK relate to your MM games.

Fair enough. I never bothered with the leaderboards, and I’d only heard about the old grindy ones, so my mistake.

I can’t remember any other leaderboard seasons than the one during the days of turret engi.

I also remember being at r300~ when I played seriously and quite some time later on when I simply grinded wins for Champion titles I got to 150~ or so. Either way it wasn’t a good system.
