Look very closely and share what you observed. The more i play this game the more i ask myself why. I was originally going to just post the picture and let the community respond, but now i will say whats on my mind. Warriors are op. Their hammer 1 hits for 2-3k crits. They do cc while doing a ton of dmg. 1 mistake and it’s gg for them they can make countless mistakes and they wouldn’t even notice. You guys are trying to fix longbow. The AOE on longbow is ridiculous it covers more then a point…why? sword torment is ridiculous. Fighting an asuran makes dodging that very challenging along with the hammer cc.. I dislike instant heals i think it’s silly. Thiefs come with countless dodges and great mobility while doing dmg. They are preventing mesmer from touching the meta and are definitely hurting ele viability. Mesmers shatters are Ok i guess sometimes it’s hard to counterplay. Mesmer mantras are completely unviable insta cast is silly anyway. Burst S/F or S/D ele has little counter play for the high burst it has, but it’s not viable anyway. Necros are very hard to fight against in a team fight. Basically you have to put pressure on them with a war cuz there is little to no counter play besides that. Guardian is needed in every team just because of the power creep present in the game you need a support class keeping the sustain up. Guards shelter is another silly heal. How are you supposed to counter play? Use engi heal before the guard casts his heal? On to engi. Engi is hard to say what it needs. It’s heal is insta cast, and has a ton of blinds. Ranger i don’t see much wrong with them besides that they only have 1-3 viable builds. All of which are spirit. Engi v necro is never going to happen. If you see a necro coming to your point your best leaving or trying to bunk till someone can replace your spot. Thief v Mesmer is a terrible match up for mesmer. dps guard v power is a very hard fight. I’ve always disliked invulns but whatever. Ok i know this is a bit scattered i just wanted to get this done cuz it’s late, and i didn’t include everything either im just hoping they can do something about what i already listed. Maybe sometime i could make a post suggesting what would fix this.
Lol, i like how i’m in this picture(as one of the warriors) as well as in the 5 engi picture in the “decap engi” thread as one of the engis and both posted in similar time. btw that 5 engis match, we actually won. kinda sad he only ss’d the beginning of the match.
In my opinion it’s not the professions what’s broken. It’s the matchmaking. More than 2 players from 1 profession shouldn’t be allowed to be in 1 team. Having 1-2 warriors in the team is okay. Having 4 or 5 is not. But the same is with necros and mesmers. Teams made by 5 MM necros or 5 Mesmers are a nightmare.
Yesterday we were running 5 guardians team just for fun. We won 4 of 5 games, the lost one was very close. We were fighting good teams and 2 of our guardians was playing the class for a first time in PvP. It was really fun. But only for us.

5 thieves team would never win….i wonder why since they are so “op”~
ironically i actually did win vs 5 wars team but mostly because 3 wars on that team had 0 map awarness and were simply bad
honestly, i can kind of deal with class imbalance (yes, warriors need some nerf plz), i can deal with class stacking (eff that 5 engi match), but what i don’t ever want to be forced to do is 4v5 and skyhammer…sadly it happens too frequent :/

I hear you. These 2 are the main reasons I don’t play soloQ anymore.
i used to mind having to fight unbalanced classes until i realized it’s just not worth it. Just keep a spot in ur account for the FOTM class and roll that and play it because it’s not worth playing what you like when you get ur kitten kicked by someone who has no clue what he is doing but his class can carry his noskill kitten to victory. I enjoyed playing a mesmer but now hambow is the only class i step into spvp with because in the end i want to win and i don’t want to bring my team down with my underpowered class. When the meta changes i will use the next FOTM and in the end everyone will do the same. I am already seeing most games i play have only hambow wars necros and engies. Anything else is a waste of space in the team and can only lower the chance of wining.
