Because i know the forums will be filled with people who complain very soon (sometimes justified, a lot more often unjustified), I just wanted to give some positive feedback. I’ve only played about 15 matches but so far i’m very impressed by the changes. The matches were closer, more intense than usual. I think 11 of my games where in a 100 point margin. I like how the reward system is cut off from the ranking system.
I consider myself a very average player and it’s very cool to see how i get ranked as average. Before i logged off i checked the top 10, and it included 5 pro league players. That’s fantastic to see how the very good players get driven to the top, instead of an average player ending in the same division as far better players as in the previous seasons.
Even if i make it to Legendary division, the superb players get to distinguish themselves for being in the top 250 and get cool titles to show of their achievements. This kind of true prestige, not through grind but through skill, is really what PvP needed. Good stuff Anet.
