Guild Wars 2

i tell you why , i was top 30 the first 3 days after release of solo queue and solo queue leaderboards. when i did play i had to play against and with good players like suldaris , phantaram , teldo and many more just to name some. Until i started to play solo queue outside of the primetime my rank got worse and worse even tought i had a high mmr i got many newbies in my group because the good players with high mmr rating did stop playing solo queue after 2-3 days of release and afraid to lose their ranks or sleep and work outside of primetime. I had like 10 min waiting time to pop solo queue game.

it was really a nice experience to play with and against one of the best players but now some days later i am on rank 100+ on leaderboards and it get more worse every day because of my lower mmr rating i get now matched with more newbies and it wont get better if those which are on top 30 decided to stop playing because they are afraid to lose their ranks.

this system is really bad , it force you to not play outside of primetime and it rewards those which only play at primetime or stopped played solo queue to not lose the rank.

what you guys think about it?

i play outside of primetime.

It will take 1-2 months of playing a lot for all players to get a real rating again. Of course will only work if the majority is playing at least a few matches every day to get like 100 matches or more in the next 1-2 months.

If only a few play and suddenly 90 percent of the players only start to play in 2 months they all will be unrated and we have crappy matchmaking again.

This all thanks to ArenaNets nice reset instead of taking the old rating and leaderboards for solo queue(where most people already played solo at the old system).

I doubt that a lot will not play and just start in a few months… but there might be a few that don’t have time every day that only start 1 or 2 weeks later after the patch… and then it takes time for everyone to play enough matches… 10-20 are not enogh cause they are your first ones against others that are not ratet at their “real skill” and don’t say anything.

100-200 matches for most of the players. I think it will take 1-2 months until we can get constantly good matches again. Until then constantly unbalanced stuff to be expected… like for me I have had about 10 losses in a row atm… and a lot were not close… got pwned big.

Old system I slowly worked myself up and got to 70 percent and got a lot of wins… good matches and close wins… that how it should be.

Can wait for this to happen again now for a long time thanks to reset/new start.

Describe why a person who got a good rating with the TeamQ and a team should get that same rating in SoloQ?

There were a majority of people on TeamQ in a premade. They should get a high SoloQ MMR rating now?

Yes… that still is okay. Cause it is only a problem with a few people. I think most are casual and only a small percentage is playing professional.

Let’s say 90 percent queued solo and are without rating now(and have a rating at TeamQueue when they never queued as team).

They are hurting us 90 percent by making us play bad matched matches for months now. If they gave us the old rating for SoloQueue it wouldn’t hurt… only a few pro teamers would have wrong rating and they would drop fast then cause they will be really useless without their team ha ha.

Welcome to the trap my friend I am currently learning for my exams and thus couldnt play for maor than 1,5 hour a day. Lost about 60 ranks per hour and after beeing at about 50 I dropped to 350 without playing. Now I am covered around Trapper Rangers with Bear pets, Rifle Warriors, Off-Guards, MM Necros, etc.
Monday I will start to get out of there haha :P

Yes that is what happened to me as well. I got dropped by 250 places from 200. Yesterday I was 600 making it 24-24 from 15-21 and today I am at 720 with 30-29.

Like it is telling us we should be waking up at 6am every day just to reclaim our position. Only the top 25 are not affected like that. But I do find it funny that the system will punish you by either playing a lot of games or not playing it for a few days.

You go down even without playing because the size of the leaderboard rose from 200 to 1000. Your position is still the same relative to the whole.

For example High Lord Sikari has been right next to me in the ratings the entire time while neither of us has played.

The population was 1000 late at night or really early in the morning. I played a few games today at 3pm and was placed 600-610. Now I am -100/120 places by just not playing.

I suspect that the 1000+ is still growing, but they only show 1,000 on the leaderboard.

The names at the 990 to 1000 will keep changing. The others dropped below the hosizon.

I’m just like you, day 1 I was fine, I was up there 1-100 all day long, then here comes day 2 and I go and lose like 30 games and win 15 of them. And yes now I get stuck with newbs on my team but what makes matters worse is my team is always going against the celebrity players and its very demoralizing seeing not one but TWO of them on the same team and then one of your teammates say “well this is game over” every kittening game I play same kitten.

GW2 needs to change its matchmaking to make it FAIR, not if you have good rating you play with good rating people but play against people worse than you. That’s totally unfair matchup.

So basically we will all drop apart from top 25 and be moved lower and lower and lower, eventually out of leaderboards.

You get what I mean with this hyperbole.

Yes, I get what you mean.

Peoples’ ratings are dropping because there are increasingly more people flowing into the Leaderboard.

Looking at my friends, I know the lowest person on my friends list was at in the bottom 5% of all players, meaning that at least 5% of all players were beneath the top 1k. He was also my only friend with a percentage ranking. Now, looking at the Leaderboard, I see 3 of my friends with percentage rankings. The highest-rated one of them is in the bottom 16% of all players, meaning that at least 16% of all rated players are beneath the top 1k. The 5% guy from yesterday was still at 5%.

The Leaderboards are growing rapidly, and that’s causing peoples’ ratings to fall rapidly.

If you’re getting noobs on your team, if the MMR is working you get them on the opposing team. Granted these ‘noobs’ have low rating and the skilled players have ‘high’ rating. And this is, because of the novelty of the system, nowhere close to being settled. Give it time and you’ll get out of it.

And remember, the leaderboard is anyone who as ever played 12 matches on SoloQ.

So it grows and grows.
