Guild Wars 2

I feel like im getting too wide a skill spread from the players on my team. Need to remove a deviation back closer to season 2.

Ok, the devation in S2 was a lot broader than the one we have now. In S2, the system grouped player, based on their MMR and pip range, then pit them up against other team camp. As a result, you could have 10 10 10 10 10 vs 1 1 1 1 1 or 5 5 5 5 5 vs 5 5 5 5 5 or 1 1 1 1 1 vs 10 10 10 10 10. So 66% of the games were hotjoin like or decided by the maker whereas the remaining 33% were competitve.

In S3, the same grouping mechanism is use; however, you no longer faced X. So, your opponents MMR is taken into account. The system try to :

5 5 5 5 5 vs 5 5 5 5 5 or 4 4 4 4 4 vs 4 kitten 5 (using Evan example as a metric here)

So going back to S2 is a big NO NO, it’s 33% competitive and 66% crap.
