Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,

I am sure the MMR on my account is bugged somehow. Can you please investigate this and reset my personal MMR?

The reason why i think something is wrong is, I keep facing teams where the enemy players are way superior and I am the only decent player in my team. Every single fight I don’t help (for example because I have to hold a point), my team manages to loose even 4v3 or even sometimes 4v2. Shouldn’t I get a decent team that can win a 3v2 while I win 2v1 sometimes?

I think the system massively overestimates my skill for some reason and I get paired with extraordinarily bad players against decent ones or get paired with decent players against very very good ones where neither me nor the others have a chance at all.

Below are two screenshots of my recent match results. Note that in between the time, I took these, I testet some other meta classes. I guess I don’t need to mention I lost eery single one of them. My win/loss ratio was about 50% before the latest patch. I think I won exactly 3 out of about 30 games in the last few days.

Can a dev please investigate this and reset my MMR, so I can have fun in PvP again?

Edit: Also interesting is that the matchs I managed to win were pretty strange too. My team managed to have 4 rangers in one while the other team had something that didn’t really do good against 4 druids. So I don’t think my team won for it’s skill, but because of having a “good” counter.

Many players are having this issue. The design is such that it is forcing people to team to have any chance at all. The first day, I had a lose streak of 30+.

It seems clear that anet wants only teams. Truthfully that’s the only path to success at the moment.

Having said that, I’ll keep solo’ing. I was disgusted by “smurfing” in the last season and by team farming this season. I wish anet would bring back solo queue, it seems sadistic not to.

I just continued playing some games, but how the kitten is it possible that I destory every single player in the enemy team while my “teammates” just get farmed one by one?

Scores like 300 50 30… vs 200 190 170…
Seriously, how is this possible?

Tell me more …

Like how you can 2v1 – down two of them (you may get downed as the end result)- yet your team mates are (a) unable to cap , (b) unable to kill anything.

Its like your MMR algorithm honestly isnt working well.

the system is working, is very bad system but is working, more you lose more bad player you have in team.

After some time with the new system I found three workarounds. While this doesn’t solve the issue itself at all you are able to enjoy to play PvP again using these “solutions”. I encourage Anet to look at this again in order to fix the issue itself!

1. possibility (hard way – no requirements):
Every 10th match or so you get a team that is not complete trash. Use this to your advantage and just “spam” matches like crazy. While doing this play as glassy as possible since the other players probably suck too and you have to kill them faster then they can kill your team. If you get lucky you kill fast enough to rally your “teammates” and manage to gain a precious pip.
If you grind long enough you will get to tier 2. If you are here you have reached your goal and you can log to your prefered metabuild again. In the 2.d tier your teammates are not complete trash and you should have a win/loss ration of about 50% again.

2. possibility (easy way – you need friends, but works best):
Play only with guild mates that know what they are doing. If possible get on TS with them for coordination. This prevents Anet from stacking bad players in your party. Be carefull not to play with 5 premades since you actually get good enemys in that case. Play with 4 teammates. You should be able to carry one noob and this makes sure the other team is still stacked with bad players.
If you manage to get to tier 2, you can continue soloing again.

3. possibility (easy – works solo, but you will not get any rewards):
This possibility works best, but you will loose all your rewards.
The easiest way to fix the matchmaking is create a new account. You will instantly have a winratio of 90%+. The huge disadvantage is that you are not able to transfer rewards away from F2P accounts. Most metabuild will also not be playable without HoT. I only recommend this method if you are absoluty desperate.

Rewarding anet for their atrocious matchmaking by buying a new account seems like the worst thing to do.
