Guild Wars 2

First of all i will describe my situation. Now I’m in gold division with rating 1530. After my first 10 games which results in only 3 wins and 7 lose I started in bronze 3 (i had afkers in 4 games). To land in gold i needed very good win rates and almost 70 games to go there. Now my stats are 76 wins and 40 loses what i think is ok.
What i want to say everythink is about 10 first games. People who landed instantly in gold have the win rate at 50% and rating points the same like me( they have usually 30 games played). You think its fair to be in gold when people have very bad win rate.
What do you think about it? Why it take me soo long to reach gold with such win rate and huge amounts of big win streaks? You know that you loosing ang gaining the same amount of points in gold and silver or bronze (10-15 very rarely more or less) sound unfair too.

It’s the first season with the new rating system, so some people may get placed where they don’t belong initially. See it like this: you are climbing easily, it’s only been a week and you’re already in gold. The system is working. And next season initial placement will probably be better.

no, the sistem is not working: mmr is a long term calculation if there are big fluctuations something is wrong, the placement matches, the matchmaking itself , just a lot of farmers atracted to farm the ascended armor whithout any intention to push to win, etc something is wrong.
you have to get an aprox winratio of 50% (40 to 60%) due to placing matches with teams of your skill(mmr) sometimes they are slightly better and sometimes sligthly bader

You just proved my point. MMR is a long term calculation, that’s why at the very start of this new system it cannot put everyone where they should be. Fluctuations will be huge at the start and become lower the longer the system is running.

Farmers, AFKers and DCs happen on both sides, so again over a longer period of time these will not affect your ranking.

if they reseted the mmr the fluctuation may hapen, but they said they had do a “soft reset” and the placement matches are just and adjustment to recalculate your “true mmr”, and these big fluctuations indicates that this is not true, the reset was hard and the placement matches had a big impact

Well of course you have a better win rate than this other gold league players. They’ve been fighting hard matches against equally skilled opponents while you’ve been destroying lesser skilled players to get back to where you belong. You have an inflated win rate because your placement matches didn’t go well and so you were a gold league player fighting in bronze league.

I mean, if you wanna complain about placement matches and the soft mmr reset then that is one thing, but you can’t judge whether someone belongs in one league vs another based on win rate alone.
