Guild Wars 2

I have spent a long time getting ready for this season, including being in other seasons.

I used to think I was something, something special.

But according to this season, people I mop the floor with are ranked higher than I am.

if LUCK has anything to do with PvP match ups, it should change. Because that’s not how sports work.

I wish i had a copper for every ranked match played with some one casually farming gear, and toasting competitive spirit.

what the hell man, lol.

Some games I score all rewards 25/0 kill ratio and still lose!! like what the hell is this man… i dont know

/rant off

Luck will always be part of any matchmaking system. It does not matter in the long run.

If you are not consistently climbing you have to accept the fact that you might belong to that rating.

People you mop the floor with are ranked higher? In 1v1 situations? Remember that there are many other things in pvp that can make a player better than you.

Don’t look at top stats. They do not tell how well you played.
For example, one could go to an enemy capped far point to fight an ele for the rest of the game and get top damage and top offensive stats. I can compare that to doing absolutely nothing for the team.

Top healing? Play the class with highest healing potential and just stay in the biggest fight and keep healing allies and yourself.

Top kills? Only stay in the biggest fights outnumbering the enemy for the whole game for a high chance to get that one, top damage as well if you play a class that deals a high amount of damage.

Top defensive? This one is probably the best stat of all of them but still does not tell anything about what you actually did for the team. You could even be unnecessarily in a fight that outnumbers the enemies just to get this top stat. Even better if they have healers that make the fight last for a long time and you and your team lacks focus.

All those mentioned above are bad things to do. Don’t play for top stats. They do not mean anything. Personally i do not even watch what top stats i get.

Just keep playing, look for things you can improve. You will climb if you deserve to be at a higher rating.

I lost over 100 rating in a day and i know i played badly. Later i even realized that my mouse button is not working properly that caused all those weird missclicks i had experienced during the day. Now a few days later, mouse button issue solved (temporary solution, still waiting for a replacement part), i’m already back at the rating i were. Now even a bit higher than that. Nothing is impossible.

A few tips: Don’t blame the system. Don’t blame your team-mates. Blame yourself. You cannot win every game.
