Guild Wars 2

I occasionally like to play some PvP but there are a few reasons I can’t enjoy it as much as I think I should be able to, these are:

No way to see how good/bad I am whatsoever. If I understand correctly, using mmr the game will try to make me win roughly as many matches as I lose (that’s not literally what it tries but rather the result of what it does). As far as I can see the only thing that could remotely indicate skill except for the very best and worst players would be mmr, which is a hidden stat. Hopefully leagues will fix this to some extent, but given how horrible the leaderboards were (quantity over quality) I kinda doubt it.

Skyhammer. This horrible excuse for a map comes up every so often in unranked. I do not want to play it, at all, ever. The only way I can avoid this horrible map is ranked, which, in my recent attempt at avoiding Skyhammer, seemed to be a bit over my skill level (although I might be able to drop my mmr enough to get better matchups, if there are enough people there) and rather full (2 out of 4 or 5 matches if I recall correctly) of people who like abusing their own team (they got reported, obviously).
So my options are: risk Skyhammer, risk abuse or risk causing a 5v4 (or hotjoin I guess, but I don’t really wanna do that either). None of those are remotely enjoyable to me.
The obvious solution seems to be to allow players to pick which maps to queue for, this may extend queue times a bit but I’m willing to take that to be rid of Skyhammer forever. No, I don’t consider the increase in queue times this could cause for other players a valid argument as every player should be playing for his own enjoyment, not to fill up a slot so someone else can have fun.

Guild teams. There is currently no way to play where I can not encounter guild groups. Any game that does include guild groups (on either side) it kinda feels like my influence on the outcome is rather limited. The obvious solution is to give me solo queue back, which should never have been removed in the first place.

Yeah, I am still hoping that ANET will announce a new matchmaking system for the expansion. The current one is horrible. If they implement a good system, you’d be able to queue into ranked and have teammates and opponents around your same skill level.

The guild group issue is also a problem with matchmaking. You should NEVER face a full premade as a solo queue player.

As for skyhammer, yeah it sucks. It is good for trolling, but that is about it.

For the maps my only issue is there’s conquest only & stronghold will not hold my interest. Match making would not be an issue is it was not for the fact that in spvp, there’s really no room for mistakes. Ranging from having pugs & newbs in the group to having badly keystroked ur burst roation or Just having one DC. 90% of the time, game is done. there just no room for mistakes in this game. WoW had the same issue 7 years ago. & they did find a solution. All classes had a major Life point increase. But that asked a major skill overhall. what it did is give you a chance to recoup if any mistakes are made & just get back into the saddle no matter what. In my book this is the solution.
