Guild Wars 2

Hey folks!

I realy dislike this new pvp skill rating system. Maybe it’s just my bad luck or more people have this problem. At the start of this pvp season i did the 10 placement matches and got 6 wins 4 losses. I got placed mid silver. After a few matches i started to notice that i was placed with a lot of players that had no clue what they were doing. So naturally i suffered one after another defeat. This only got worse the more matches i played. I’m not a bad pvp player myself. But getting placed with bad players sucks in my opinion. Now 3 days after i started i have 834 skill rating (bottom bronze). There i no way i can get in silver again or higher because now i have the lowest rating i can never have enough wins to climb the ladder.

Any of you guys have experienced the same thing?

Opinions?

P.s. the attachment is a example of my story. What you see in the picture happened alot to me.

Here you can see win loss ratio…

It’s dumbfounding how the PvP system can be messed up time and time again. Personal ELO should be based on personal score, not if you win or lose the game. I try the sPvP every time it’s changed in the hopes that it has changed for the better, but I only find the same messed up system with a different interface.

Insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Well, that’s exactly what’s being done here.

You have almost 0 ranked experience. I wouldn’t expect someone who has only won 20 rated game to break silver, let alone gold.

^Exactly. Many players in Silver and Gold have several thousand games under their belt. You need more experience.

Also, you should learn another class, in addition to thief, if you are going to solo queue. Your team composition has no healer and no support. Just damage dealers and bruisers. It’s a really bad composition which explains the stomping.

General rule of thumb is one support per damage dealer. Swapping to Druid or Ele would have really helped your team. Even a support class swap to Engi or maybe DH.

I dont understand the new system, too. I started my first 10 games with 8 wins 2 losses, and get less ranking points than other guys which started 6 wins and 4 losses. i have nearly the same points like some guildies of me who have 5 wins and 8 losses…

why 8 wins and 2 losses is nearly the same like 5 wins and 8 losses in ranking system?

Yea let’s just ignore the point he brought up that actual skill is ignored and pro’s getting unluckily q’d with pve’rs get stuck in these lower divisions. But oh yea I forgot everyone whos made it to Platinum can easily carry every single game. I’d really like to see one of them get on my account and play with these fools. Anyone disagreeing with the lack of importance of actual skill towards MMR just got lucky on placements. “Yea but I grinded due you’re wrong.” That’s cool, copy pasted trap DH. But not every class is literally tailored to tactless trap spamming.
