Guild Wars 2

I dont know if im the only one seeing this but i feel like whenever i go to HotM i see legendaries everywhere? its like 25-30 % of all the players are legendary.. seems as if its almost as common as last season? xd

3 weeks left for this season, most people are where they want to be.

Especially via team queue you have still a very high chance to get there independent from your skill level just because a team communicating via voice chat and working together will beat a team of solo queuers on the same skill level.

20-30% does not seem accurate though, more like 5-10% for me.

Which is totally appropriate imo. Not a big enough player base and not enough super skilled players at the very top to make it so it would only be the top 1-2%. Would probably have to institute league loss to make it even more exclusve which a majority of players would cry about.

I think introducing league loss would be a mistake even though it would help divisions be more representative of skill level. This is because many players, myself included, would not play a single ranked game after we reached legendary for the rest of the season just because it is so much work to get there and to have it taken away and not be able to get it back would be terrible. Maybe league loss should be introduced, just not for legendary.

As for the percentage of player reaching legendary, I would say maybe 5% of players I see in HotM are legendary. I expect that this will increase a lot in the next couple of weeks though because most people do not have as much time to grind games as the 5% who are already there so they will reach legendary later on in the season.
