Guild Wars 2

Hi All,

Currently account bound MMR is only present.
What this means is if you have a good MMR and start to learn a new class – you’re class MMR is based at your account level.
This does not take into account the players ability to play the class or build.

For example – I have been learning to play Mesmer got me a few matches to get the hang of it after practicing some basic rotations in the lobby. I had never played Mesmer before and was struggling to get good…here are some stats.

These are in the order of (most recently played -> season start)
War (6 losses , 1 win) – just learning this arm so would benefit from a class MMR : [I am below my account average MMR when playing war]
Mesmer (9w,8loss) – Was learning Mesmer (new class for me): MMR is settling back. 9 wins total on account for Mesmer.
Ele(6win,5loss)- was learning to play Ele in pvp on a build which I had never played before. Previously had 0 wins in Ele for PVP.
Necro: 5 wins (win streak) – may have been carried by a team but was playing a build which I was familiar with (non-meta) which is reasonably strong.
Engineer (2 loss. 6 wins)- new build not played engineer much.
Ranger (5win, 1 loss)- old build no changes : not played it for months
Guard (5win, 4 loss)- paying a non-meta fun build
Thief ( 12 loss/5 win)- always been a weak class for me in pvp even though I have 4000+ hrs in pve on thief.

My account bound MMR is too high for me to play warrior and ensure I can understand how to effectively play it.
My concern is if I start trying to learn Revenet my stats are going to be all screwey for a while with a class based MMR. My MMR will be too high for me to learn to play Rev for PvP Ranked.

If someone swaps class during a match that member should have its highest class MMR as part of the calculation for win/loss pips.

A class and account based MMR are both needed for a healthy PvP with a decay function implementable. Someone who has not touched a class for months needs a lower class based MMR until they are ready to .
