Guild Wars 2

Based on past seasons, and today’s… whatever you call today…is it better to wait a week or two before doing the PVP season so it doesn’t completely wreck your mmr early on? Was in a match earlier where when we started one of my teammates looked at the roster and said “oh crap… this is one of the pro-teams…good luck guys”. Before we got totally smeared in emerald, with one of us in amber.

Not anymore. As far as soloQ goes, progression is now based on luck and how many games you’ve played. In fact, due to player mixing between team/solo and the abundance of people who know how to tank their MMR, playing ranked may actually net you a slightly less than 50% win ratio all around until the season ends. Waiting won’t make any difference.

Edit: It might actually work if you plan on queuing with a 5 man team that stays in saphire for a few weeks.

Otherwise it’s probably best to just skip this season to save yourself the frustration. You’re only going to submit yourself to a more toxic environment.

Wouldn’t it be better to play now and tank your mmr, then take a break and then play? Think about it.

It would only get you so far…
