Guild Wars 2

This is not a rant since I really believe MM improved a lot. The thing that holds it back is the rock-scissor-paper dynamic between different comps in this meta.

My only real complaint is how it’s starting to work against you once you are in the division you belong. Winning consistently get’s waaay too hard in my opinion.

Usually I start off with two easy wins, the third match will be really hard, but doable, and after that the possibility of getting crazy blowouts get’s really high. I always wonder where the hell do they even get these players who don’t even know the pure basics in mid Platinum.
Anyone else having the same problems? It really annoys me since you are essentielly forced to take a break to avoid these players.

Situation happens pretty frequently because the matchmaker is trying to find you a game. More often than not, you either get paired with those under your rating or above…or go against them instead. Might be because the system is trying to give you an outlier match to either boost your rating up a bit more or take you down..or just because there are no players available and you’ve been in queue for so long. This happens more frequently as you play off-hours and start seeing Duos more often.

Sometimes it better to lose maybe 4 rating against Duos of +300 rating above you rather than losing -20 with them. At the same time, there is a possibility of beating those +300 above you and getting +20.

It definitely is somewhat predictable though, especially Solo.
