Guild Wars 2

Every single game ppl just logg off afk or whatever, on either team. That or ppl just instantly die to random kitten. Its sucking all the enjoyment out of pvp for me.

The only reason there should be a break in between seasons is to let a new major patch settle in.

Agreed. We need 2 modes running concurrently to separate the competitive and noncompetitive players. Tryhards don’t want to play with casuals running YOLO builds and barely trying to win, and casuals don’t want to play with tryhards yelling at them in map chat for not playing seriously. Forcing them together is just a good way to kitten everyone off. No idea why ANet thinks this is acceptable.

Remember, the devs said, there’s absolutely no difference between on and off season. It’s only your perception of unranked that causes you to draw these conclusions.

Evan Lesh.3295:

As for skilled opponents, this is really just a perception problem as some players don’t feel comfortable playing in a ‘Ranked’ mode (Plus the rank 20 requirement). In a perfect world matchmaking would just handle people who don’t take unranked seriously by way of their MMR dropping, but I understand the barrier to entry of ranked acting as a sort of filter.

Because of the way division cutoffs work, I would not want to open ranked arena during the off-season and keep the league-style of matchmaking. We would need to switch it to the old unranked matchmaking which would just be pre-leagues ranked arena.

maybe anet is telling u to play something else or go outside maybe? u have real friends right? family?

more like pvp in gw2 is unbearable period. You see the same stuff you describe above in leagues only ppl are more kittened off and nasty.

We only need something to care when we lost the game. The no lost or pip gained when you lost at 400 in season 1 was awesome for this. From my experiences, it do the same on your MMR. But since no one see MMR, nobody try to have the BEST lose they can get.

Solution: Give a way to player to see their MMR. Learn from the most Casual PVP game ever —→ Overwatch.
