Guild Wars 2

It is still nearly impossible to drop points, so if you play enough you will get high in laddersystem. If you are skilled but have no time to play 10 games a day, you wont have a chance to compete with unskilled grinding guys. WHY?+

I would terrible hard wish to get some insight on this changes they´ve done.

I found this great example from EU ladder. The guy won 1 game, lost 3 within an hour. Still he got 4 points. As far as I know, the max amound of points you are able to get from a single match is 3, and the minimum amound of points you can loose is 1. So how this happened to this guy I have no idea and would like to know. Is it the leaderboard that show wrong data, or does the system simply not work correctly?

(Mad paint skillz!)

It’s because it’s not based on wins… It’s based on the % chance your team has of getting each bracket of points: eg 0-20% chance of winning the match and you score 300 points – you’ll gain points.

The match making criteria got loosened up so much that you are thrown in more matches with a lower % chance of winning (no longer 40-60% under the old system) – hence the need to give points if the odds of beating the opposition are next to Nill and your team do really well.

Hey there, #1 ladder EU here, if you analyze glicko https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Matchmaking_Algorithm you will notice that roster size is taken into consideration when calculating your expected win ratio.

You will also notice that while the public ladder rank is reset each season, your individual mmr isn’t.

Last season i plummeted to the depths of elo hell so now my expected win ratio is very low.

I am also only playing solo, further lowering the expected win ratio.

My expected win ratio is extremely low, as long as i keep grinding i can get away with a lot of unlucky streaks without losing too many points.

It’s not luck boyz, it’s science. And farming, but mostly science.

Confirmed PvP team created a system that rewards pre-season tanking.
