Guild Wars 2

I usually queue only in the afternoon and the games I get are generally good with most of the players being in the same skill/pip range. Today I played a few in prime-time and witnessed lower div trio/4man queues over and over. I get that the party system takes only the rating of the highest rated play in your group, but the people who are forced to play with those crippled half-teams are not having a good time. The only solution I can think of as of now is for the system to try and match similar “multi-division” teams together. Yes it will probably take them longer to get a game, but they’re multiple guys to begin with. I’d rather have a complete soloQ team consisting of div6 players then a guy playing with his amber friends.

I agree, it is annoying when your one win away from the next Tier only to have 2 ambers that are clueless in your team.good by next tier and win streak, hello downward spiral.

Seems match making is stretching even further, I played against this solo Q team last night.

I can tell you with full confidence that they won’t do that for the same reason why they won’t disallow class stacking in ranked. The Q times would be too long. We simply don’t have the player base to make that possible.

Then make it so that you can only queue with people in a +-15 pip range.
Today twice in a row I was paired with a 4 man premade made of 3 emerald and 1 diamond. It infuriated me.
