Guild Wars 2

At the start of this PvP Season after a few days of Ranked matches I reached 74 on the Leaderboards. Having taken a break for a few days over Christmas I’m now out of the top 1000 at 95%.

As it currently stands I’m hundreds of points behind the Rank 1st player. My questions are:

1. It doesn’t seem possible for me to get back up the ladder and be competitive. It seems I would have to play hundreds of games and play every day to get there. Is that the case?

2. Why are some matches I join almost guaranteed losses? I played 4 matches today solo queue and 3 of them were against full pre-mades when we were pugs. I lost 2, won 2. Will the 2 losses mean my wins were entirely pointless?

Thanks

Your 1st point is correct. Your 2 losses don’t make your wins pointless, depends on how many points you earned.

So what’s the point in a Leaderboard system that simply rewards time played over skill?

It’s made for pve\wvsw heroes…they can’t set up decent teams, l2p and win so they just made ladders farm based…rewarding points even when losing, pve guys can now go pvp like going into dungeons…if you cap close with 2 ppl, go boss at start and get rekt most of the times np, you’re still gonna earn points and go up on the long run

working as intended
