Guild Wars 2

So far the season start has been 1-6 for me, with 4 of the loses coming from a quitter partway through the match. I’m struggling to see, even in the early stages, how this matchmaking is functioning correctly? Playing at Sapphire, previous season Legend. Am I going to have to tank my MMR (unintentionally mind you) like people had done in Season 1 to counter-act the system?

Should also note that, the level of play I’m seeing from my teammates and some enemies is nowhere near the level or indicative that they are Legend-tier skillwise (where we all got put in Sapphire), at all.

A) So you blame matchmaking for a dc?
B) An estimated 10% of all who got to legendary deserved to be there.
C) It is always comforting to think your team cant play (and, being observant, you can detect players that are worse than you), but usually a team fails/wins not just 4 players.

So yeah. We will need time and statistics to say anything, but right now it looks like matchmaking works much better and everyone who is experiencing any different is probably just on a bad streak.
Last seasons there were obviously problems with matchmaking, and it seems like it has become a convenient excuse for a loosing streak (those actually happen naturally, even to the best of us)
