Guild Wars 2

There are SEVERAL players who have achieved top 1000 just by solo queue, due queue or incomplete teams. It makes no sense for them to make a massive change like this that could effectively kill participation in PvP.

If you force 5 man teams to go against other 5 man teams, queue will be extremely long. Furthermore, since everyone will solo queue the queue for teams will be even more ridiculous.

We saw this happen in Random Arenas in Guild Wars 1, everyone stopped playing Team Arenas to the point where it was removed from the game. People ran full premades in Random Arenas all the time by abusing an exploit.

The experience you get in Solo Queue is far superior than any other PvP based game. I will guarantee that if you join solo you will reach around a 50/50 win rate. This isn’t like you’re being DESTROYED by a premade with no hope.

I’ve seen these premades everyone is talking about, they’re all really bad. Most of them are PvE guilds trying PvP and never played with each other. Anyone can solo queue to 90% without much troubles. I reached top 900 as a DPS guardian this way, and eventually I was recruited onto a team because of the fact I solo’d my way to that rank.

Developing new game modes is not as easy as people make it sound like to be. There is alot of balance issues with new game modes as the current balance is molded for capture the point.

Step 1:
5 Man team:
Queing for 5v5 ….. 30 sec …… 1 min …… 2 min ….. .Queing for all games …….. game found.

VS current Queing for all games, have fun

I play halo as well. This same thing happened. Halo 3: Prefer better connection ….. 5 mins later a lag free game. Halo 4 Queing for all games, have fun vs those Americans who have host ( Aussie here. Lag is non issue apparently)

I reached 615 via solo que. I don’t care about premades. Often times they’re just as bad as pugs. Its mostly better rank match making needed and the ability to fill a drop out.

Sylvari.6083:

It’s been months and nobody at Anet gives a flying kitten about pugs being mathed up against premades.

Not enough people.
PUGs with a high enough rating shouldn’t even be PUGs anymore.
Real PUGs get matched up against young premades who usually aren’t very good.
etc…

What we need is:
- Fill out a drop.
- A bit more tweaks on the MM math.
