Guild Wars 2

how about we make it so that Teams have their own pip system. This will help validate the team oriented team-play.

The questions that follow this suggestion are:

• Do we allow teams to queue into the normal rank system
• If so, What would the be outcome of solo-queue
• If not, What would be the outcome of the drop of players in the solo que.
• If we do this, do we remove the ability to queue as a team? (forcing solo queue)

There is a lot of if’s going here because i do not have metric data on the pvp population of the game, but it would work like this (conditions based on “if”)

If the solo queue and team queue were separate, it would validate solo que a lot more.
If the game had the population to support this, climbing latter would be much faster and easier (in theory) and would provide a much more stable seasonal experience.
This is because the more “driven players” would not be in the que (for the most part) and would leave the more casual players in the normal que, thus resulting in a more “equalized” system.

This however would be subject to the abuse it currently has (ie a few noobs getting rofl’d stomped, but it would be less common then now).

If we do not queue them together, we provide a faster way to progress but retain the current abuse (pro stomps noobs).

let the discussion start

From my experience this season, I haven’t seen teams to be that much of an issue or at least for me personally. I’ve lost to some and I’ve beaten some. The thing that’s been an issue lately is terrible group comps.

One thing that I would like to see in relation to teams is that the class composition within that team is taken into consideration when matching.

Got to agree with this. Pre-mades haven’t been a big issue this season. It is more team comp and the unequal pairing of opponents. I was fine with the idea of letting the good get ahead with the understand that this eventually create even matches. That never happened and is clear it won’t happen.

A better queue system is one that pits equal teams against each other. Will it make progression harder overall, sure. Will it be more fun, probably. At least when you lose you’ll know it was all you and not some you and some matchmaking.
