Guild Wars 2

Propositions:

1- Introduce diminishing returns to MMR gain/loss (percentages are just an example, ANET has better information to estimate these).

For each 3 consecutive wins MMR gain will decrease by 10%.
For each 3 consecutive losses MMR loss will decrease by 10%.

Reason:

This will mitigate some of the MMR manipulation I’ve seen in this season.

MMR can be easily manipulated (preferably at sapphire level) by queuing with a group of average skill players, you’ll get easy win streaks and increase your personal MMR to a decent level and then proceed to play solo, you’ll then get on the right side of Match Making and receive better team mates leading to easier matches all around.

2- Balance MMR gain/loss depending on team sizes

MMR gain example (percentages are just an example, ANET has better information to estimate these):

Solo player: bonus of 5% to MMR gain
Duo queue: bonus of 3% to MMR gain

All others remain unchanged

MMR loss example:

Solo player: Decrease of 5% to MMR loss
Duo queue: Decrease of 3% to MMR loss

All others remain unchanged

This will soften MMR impact of facing premades, making solo and duo queues a little more fair imho.

Hope this helps

Edited: To fix broken English, sorry it isn’t my primary language.

It’s not easy to manipulate MMR at all.

It’s not easy to manipulate MMR at all.

Try finding 2 other decent players at sapphire level (hard part – easier at start of season ), group with them, you’ll have a very large advantage and thus will win more often that lose. This over time will increase your MMR, when you have a 58% or greater win rate try solo queuing, if you get bad teammates repeat the process.

Even a casual player like me (2-3 hours a day) has over 20 players in contact list that are more than decent at pvp.

If you find a good player in a match proceed to add him to friends (even if he’s on enemy team), that way you can contact him later on if you want to try this.
