Guild Wars 2

This is becoming an issue, after 3 or 5 minutes of queue time, the search expands and eventually matches full 5-man premades against 5 solos, making it an extremely horrible game for the soloQ’ers who had to wait that long. IMO, I don’t care how long a premade of 5 has to wait, they should never fight five SoloQ’ers, it needs to be balanced.

dat feeling though, when you somehow manage to get away with it and beat a full 5-man premaid all on comms (judging by their coordinated bursts combined with CC) after they smacktalked you just cause they blew you up the first time…

most.satisfying.feeling.ever.

This is extremely annoying, I agree. After a game against a full premade you have to wait 5-7 minutes (depending on queue time) before you queue up again, or chances are you’ll be up against them the next game too. I doubt this can be fixed with the small playerbase we currently have, though.

I doubt its that easy. I usually play with my girlfriend together, are we considered premade or soloQ? What if we get a guildie but do not use voice comms, are we premade?

Anet killed soloQ and traditional hotjoin only to save teamQ by saturating it with no-team players. Enjoy being a meat for lolesports.

Im sorry guys i disagree, I was in a 3 man premade and were all in the same guild. Me and 1 of them play pvp quite a bit but the other person was completely new and tried out thief cause it was the daily. We look at our team and we get OE and another engy so we have 1 ele,1 ranger 2 engy and 1 thief. We look like some great premade but we got smoked.

The new person in our group felt bad but at no point is his fault were player upper tier players when he just started doing pvp. Seriously its gotten to the point me and other people who are decent players in pvp cant take around new guild members in pvp cause they end up getting smoked even when in team speak.

Seriously give it a rest, not every premade team 3+ or 5 even is gonna be great. LOL none of you have probelms talking sheech at the end of the match after beating a so called premade.

There should be an option to choose to wait longer in the queue if it means you only face other solos, if i have to wait twice as long to get a true solo queue match im okay with that

I’m beginning to think they don’t give us a real solo queue just because they know the majority will only play that. It’s sad because that means they are essentially feeding solo players to the wolves.

Having been on the receiving end of vsing premades with a PUG, I completely agree. Nothing ruins my enjoyment of pvp more than this.

Not all soloers are bads. Not all premades are good.
Yes, communication offers an advantage but there isn’t a mastermind coordinating the whole team. Usually people know where to go and what to do.

Premades can include:
1)guys who have been matched together a few games and won, leading them to believe there is some sort of synergy between them so they group up(usually stupid idea)
2a)people who queue with their friends despite being a huge skill gap between them
2b)people who queue with guildies but nobody is good, they just wanna have some fun

Winning against premades isn’t some godlike achievement. Premades are not hard to beat based on the fact that they premades. Good premades are hard to beat. Good soloers are also hard to beat.

I don’t talk in game in team or map chat whether or not I beat or lose to premades.

People should not have to deal with premades whether the premade is good or bad when the old system adequately handled the division of solo players and teams.

Anet needs to add incentives (ie automated tournament w/ gem rewards or gold) to encourage teams to form, not just shove all players into one pot.

Bumping this thread because I’ve been matched 5 man soloQ vs 5 or 4 man premade 4 games in a row now and this is just killing any fun in PvP for me right now. These games just make me want to afk, what the kitten went into Anet game to make this possible ?

The problem ANET faces with Spvp is that nobody does it. The top ranked players have managed to turn off literally every single new player into Spvp by curb stomping them repeatedly because of the games lack of match making.

There isn’t enough people for match making so they just randomly assign people to a random server and call it good.

Spvp is in a horrible place and needs to be reworked completely. Start off by increasing numbers to 10v10 not 5v5.

Old queues worked very well, I had no problem at all with that.

It’s only since they decided to merge teams with pugs and not give a kitten about balancing it that SoloQ is kittened up.
It’s probably one of the worst idea someone ever had since Hitler decided to invade russia.
