Guild Wars 2

This is ridiculous!!!
Again daily necro and 5-4 necro in the opposite team.
Should be selected 1-1 type profession in team(np. necro, guardian, ranger, ele and mesmer). NOT 5 necro in one team, opponents have no chance to win……
Come on do something with this.

4-5 necro is not exactly hard to beat. Spread between points and pick off the smaller groups of reapers then sweep into other points.

You have to be joking…
You have maby 5% to win with that team

On top of it, if noone in that group (seeing they are in a 5-neco team) decides to switch to a different class, you already know you are not facing the better players from your range.

What top???

Reapers are tissue paper. They have no blocks, invulns, or evade frames on their skills. Their stability is limited to CttB and Infusing Terror. They have no Vigor outside of Sigil of Energy and otherwise generally poor boon uptime outside of Might. They are one of, if not the least mobile class in the game.

Yes, you will lose against a reaper team if you are playing 4m1h every game without fail because building momentum and holding points against inflexible strategies is what they are good at. They are supposed to be good at 1v1 engagements, and the best at 1v1 engagements if they are full of lifeforce, because of their lack of defenses against focus fire and their poor rotation ability.

You need to change the rules of the engagement to beat a team of reapers, but once you understand what you need to do and specifically where to go, the reapers will fold.

so what professions did your team have ?
how did your team open ?

did you discuss opening tactics with your 4 other team mates during the 2 minutes ?

i solo queued and faced a team of 4 necros before, our team only had 2 (me and another)

well i tried to get our team to open with 2 home 3 far but it seems like 2 wanna go mid anyway, well, at least 2 of us (me and another) went far and we killed their lone far defender necro.

then i spawn camped there and continue to kill them.

they came 1 by 1 and we murdered them.

4-5 reaper teams generally have a tough time winning at higher levels because they lack mobility, lack sustain and generally don’t work very well together.

If you try and team fight 4v4 or 5v5, obviously you will lose to the necro but if you split it up and make it 1/2/2 or some other combination + out rotating them with +1s then you will probably win easily. Having an ele is a big plus too, once they blow all their cooldowns they have nothing to sustain and it’s gg.

yup. that’s how my reaper usually dies.

I used to be annoyed by the 4-5 necro teams back at sapphire and mid ruby but then the mes-2rev-ele-necro/scrapper/druid teams hit me way more often till finishing diamond and beyond…yeah now i’d really pay the other team to run a 4-5 necros comp.

you could snowball this matchup easily with the right comp/split at the start if your teammates are a bit competent, focus targets, rotate faster than the necros and of course communicate and be responsive in chat.

Omg was the necro daily yesterday??? Cause I got stomped hard, 3 reaper on every team with boon strip, this explains a lot actually.

Get 2 tempests and/or simply out-rotate them. Or better yet, have a Mesmer/thief put pressure on far.

tbh dailies shouldnt exist in ranked. it encourages dumb stuff like this to happen.
