Matchmarking
All I can suggest to you is to learn several builds on your main and at least one specific build on alt professions:
-My team is fully zerker ( thief, thief, mesmer, Lb ranger ), I’ll go bunker guardian or ele staff-d/d
-My team full bunker vs full bunker team ( 4 shoutbow and d/d ele as you sau), then I’ll go fresh air, or rifle engi ( cele or soldier) or LB ranger ( vamp rune-6/6/0/2/0).
-Enemy team got double thief or double mesmer, I’ll go rabid s/p engi double kit/elixir S + vamp runes (lmao the way they melt is hilarious – magnet pull-barrage)
All in all, there is little you can do..but make sure you that little counts :B
Situation is pretty bad I agree, but nothing will change anytime soon it seems, they’re taking data apparently, we can only hope for the best and make the most of what we have now, I made peace with myself about this ^^
Agree with the RQ part.
I don’t think it is that important to figure out builds. In solo queue if a good player is on fresh air vs. DD they should be able to figure out their roles and perform them well. Sadly, a lot of burst players don’t really get their roles. Like thieves who get farmed in mid by staying in team fights for far too long.
I think the important part is volume of burst builds vs. more balanced builds on teams. It’s frustrating getting stuck with 4 burst builds on my cele engie since cele engie itself isn’t the best point holder.
