According to gw2efficiency.com, I’m a 57% ranked and 60% unranked player. All solo queue. Champ illusionist, champ hunter, 1156 total games played.
Got to emerald tier as a solo queue, matches seemed pretty normal.
As soon as I hit emerald though, I start getting premades on the other team. I have experienced the first 5 match losing streak in my life.
The games weren’t stomps (pretty close in score) , but in each game you could literally tell the other team had edges in communication.
Sucks losing 5 man guild teams 500-480, while your team is all PUGs. Sucks that players of lower skill level have an edge because of this matchmaking system.
