Guild Wars 2

So i can expect no decent matches this whole year.. (if i was going to keep playing)

I haven’t played in awhile, i lost horribly until i scrapped the rust off. after 10 games I was 1-9 with an MMR of 500ish With the leaderboard reading 1200ish. I proceeded to win the next 7 games (8-9) (least the teammates half knew to stand on the points this set) which left my MMR at 600ish, with the leaderboard reading now being at 1900. You see the problem?

I am now running around in a pure vanilla zerker thief spec (CS/DA/TR) being completly bored out of my mind. winning 1vs2 and 1vs3 at far, but it doesn’t matter, since your teammates can’t win the 4vs3 or 4vs2 anyway… with an increase of 20-40 points per win there is absoultly no point in contining to play. There is no escape..

When does this season end? at least during the off season i got to fight esl player’s once out of 1000 games, they also drop like flies but at least they understood why…

People say that it’s best to try to carry with a DPS role, but if Anet is right about teams in post-placement matches being pretty equal in skill, then playing a support role might make more sense. You can’t carry teamfights on your build and a non-Dash thief isn’t any better than a mesmer for decaps. You’re playing in trash tier btw so if you just focus on capping you’ll win more than 50% of the time. People at your MMR level don’t even understand how to rotate.

Well, at a low MMR you’re going to be paired with people that don’t understand mechanics very well. You’ll have to get yourself out of your current MMR to have the type of matches you want… It may take more matches than you want, but I think it’ll be worth it

but there is the rub gentlemen, your only getting 20-40 points to increase your MMR per win, you lose 50 per loss. and the average MMR to start is 1200.

i will forever be doomed to play with starting player’s.

If you believe to be better than your Mmr suggests find another like skilled player and Duo Queue it is extremely foolish to Solo Queue you are just shooting yourself in the foot

It’s not for me, it’s for the random people that never visit the forums, In my case it really doesn’t matter as i rarely play this game anymore.

It’s a simple fix, just allow more volatility for point gain in bronze. Silver and gold and platinum{?} should be progressivly slower. but you don’t want stagnant growth at the start of a season. it’s better to have faster growth for the majority of player’s. Though they will eventally stagnant anyway at least they would get some progession (progression = shelf life)

The thing is, not everyone will progress further than where they are now or even reach platinum. It’s not because the new system sucks, it’s because they are where they are meant to be.

Take Fyre’s advice and find someone with your mentality to queue with
