Guild Wars 2

I kindly request from ArenaNet to introduce Ranks by Profession, not by account. I request this because most players reach a certain rank with one main profession, and then they change professions for testing purposes (or because they get bored), bringing loss to team.

Right now ranks are per account in season. In future I would be glad if ArenaNet would consider setting ranks per profession in season.

This would reflect the skill of a player on that specific profession. This would also reflect how overpowered is a profession, by how many players reach Legend rank, with that specific profession.

You mean division? Cause I think MMR does take class into account. Also separates ranked vs unranked.

That would be okay, but it would cause the profession that you que with to be locked in after you click the ranked button. We wouldn’t be able to switch in game and that, I think, would take a fair chunk out of counterplay.

For example, if you have a team of 5 dragonhunters and they have 5 necros (however unlikely the rng might be), if I were on the dragonhunter team, I would probably just /sit in the home base, it would be obvious who would win. Now if 2 or 3 of the guards changed to ele, for example, it would make the game more interesting because eles keep the necros in check. If we were to implement your idea, then this whole aspect of the game would just be shaved off.

I do agree though, if you are trying out a new profession / build then you should stick to ranked for a bit.

The MMR takes profession into account. But at higher ranks how this matters? If you play Engineer for the first time, even if you are Diamond, you will still get your team backwards.

The example with 5DH vs 5Reapers is interesting, but highly unlikely. Now imagine 5DH main profession VS 5Reapers playing for the first time, all in Diamond. This right here is the big problem I am trying to underline.

Its a problem but people asked for division based MM not MMR based…

(just goes to show the customer is not always right)

Its ironic because people like Helseth sort of spear headed these changes, and now he just recently said he’s so bored of MM he can’t play gw2 (soloq/MM) anymore.
