Q:
Hello I am Thee Faux, I am currently rank 2 on the LB. I would like to express my ideas on how to improve the current pvp system for next season, along with my opinions on the current test season. Before I start, I am by no means the 2nd best player on NA, I am not an Elitest or a top level pvper. I farmed this ladder with a turret engi and last season to 66 with a condi ranger.
The most common complaint about the LB right now, is that people think it is a “grind”, that its just the people who play the most. There are a couple of cases where this is true. Looking at the top 25, there are 4 players with win rates of below .50%, rank 5. 48.25%, rank 10. 47.55%, rank 12. 45.83%, rank 16. 46.26%, rank 18. 49.08%. Not only is this a huge misrepresentation of what a top player is, its a slap in the face to rank 17 Mykasa Ackrman wins-211 losses-47 win%- 81.78%. My defense for the grindyish system other than those cases is casual players should be rewarded for playing alot of games, just not the the extent they currently are.
Things that need to change
-Greater emphasis on win loss ratio
-Less emphasis on points scored durring a match
Problems with ranked queue. Casual Soloqueurs hate fighting premades, somone..somewhere is complaining about it at this very moment. Throwing a randomly made up percentage out there I would guestamate 95% of regular pvpers hate that there is no divide between solo and team queue anymore. My personal opinion on the matter is..its tolerable. In the perfect world where the pvp community gets what they want Areanet would steal Leauge of Legends ranked system. Where theres the old team queue of -=5=-!!! and soloqueue would become Normal Ranked where parties could not exceed more than 2 members. Please dont dismiss everything I just said because I mentioned LoL, I don’t even play.
Since I mentioned I played turret engi I will comment on AI and the state of the current Meta. Why do I play turrets? Because I want the Glorious Hero’s shoulders and arm piece. Do I think they are over powered? Meh. There is very little skill to the build. Some of you might look at that last sentence and say “very little” is an oversatement. LISTEN HERE BLU42. Turret AI doesnt carry me in matches, I CARRY THE TURRETS. Jk nerf turrets pls. Also SLIGHTLY nerf Cele. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Things-must-happen-to-balance-PvP
I completely agree with everything Ana Banana has to say.
