Guild Wars 2

I had about 45% wins from season 1 (would be 55% if excluding stronghold, but thats another sad story)

Season 2 started for me with about 0:15 score, now its about 5:30, so its improving. Some of you would tell that its because skilled players left my bracket, but I think theres another reason, based on data I have.

At start, for some reason there was influx of new players that probably got 50% rating, and got teamed up with us average Joes…while they’ll by chance develop into elite pro uber pvp-ers, at start they dont know map, rotation, builds, even come without amulet.

Let me tell you, I’d rather group up with season 1 players with 30% wins, than with people without any knowledge, but 50% default rating…and bingo, I bet thats what started to happen right now…my MMR probably went down the drain, but I get group that at least has basic knowledge so we win now and then.

Thats probably reason why many people think they don’t deserve groups they get…if they would have 20% rating from season 1, they would not complain (and they do not, they probably do same as before, because they dont get grouped with noobs with default 50% rating)
