Guild Wars 2

Due to the fact that arena net places me with legendaries, the game really comes down to which team has the legendary who purposefully throws. They have incentive to not play legitimately because they don’t have to climb anymore, and the only reason most of them play is for the daily 3 ranked matches. It is such a bad idea to have an encouragement to not really care as well as being placed with people who are still in diamond. I suggest either acknowledging that the bridge from diamond to legendary isn’t identical to any other “D and D+1” scenarios and therefore keep diamond players with diamond players, or changing the daily 3 ranked matches to daily 2 ranked wins.

EDIT: or finally make a punishment system for when players purposefully throw like in league.

Yep I feel your pain.

Happened to me in diamond T6/7 a lot.

lol at least you got to t6, i still havent gotten to t3 yet.

You are right.

League should only be queuable with a full premade.

At Diamond and +, you should put a RANK number from 1 (the best) to X (the worst).

First week, some diamond would be top 100.
4 week, some diamond would be top 500.
8 week, some diamond would be top 1000.

This show that League are Grind and not Skill based.

At least, the competitive spvp with rewards would give incentive to create party.

In LoL people play hundreds of games in diamond without ever getting to master or challenger somehow its fine there… yet here it’s a big issue that needs addressing… hmm…

Diamond here would correlate to Platinum in LoL whereas Diamond in LoL correlates to lower Legendary tiers and T7 Diamond roughly.

at mid/low diamond, at least your entire team and the opposing team are mostly all actively trying to win.

at t6/t7 diamond, there could be as many as half the people involved in a match not even trying to win.

Same here but i stopped trying. Its not fun. which matters most.

That’s the problem with these discussions they all start with erroneous assumptions and the worst one is that people are going to keep advancing after a certain point. Why do people think they will never plateau? Everyone can’t be the best. I haven’t made it out of diamond yet either and if I play anohter 50 matches and don’t make it Im not going to blame some glitch in the system on it.

Sorry to break it to you, but you’re the one making assumptions. Maybe if you were at this level you would see first hand the throws that are in the match ups because legendary players have nothing to lose.

At first I thought “how did these baddies get legend” then I realized they just didn’t care once they got there.

There’s no real incentive to try or play properly in legend, played for like a week in legend and it wasn’t really fun at all, just long q’s and lopsided wins or losses. Stopped at T5 X1 since i don’t really need the gold and most people that play in legend are probably just doing it for backpiece achievements (eg. profession)
