Guild Wars 2

I’ve just finished my placement matches and i must say, pvp s5 is looking great so far. I see a variety of classes with few class stacking (DH seems to be the most prominent stack so far, don’t know why), and the solo queue placement matches negates the premade factor we have encountered for the past 4 seasons.

As for the argument that solo queue is up to luck, you really can’t please everyone. Previously we complain about premades, now we complain about solo/duo queue. Personally, i think solo queue ranking is the most accurate indication of your skill level. At the very least, it’s better than esl premade stacking.

As for the mmr, most of my friends are ranked according to their skill level so i have no complaints. Ultimately, whether we win a match is due to communication, rotational awareness and being nice, not how skilled you are mechanically. I greet my team mates at the start of every game and nicely call out rotations and it has worked well for me so far. Hopefully, this provides an alternative to being toxic and blaming the system. Cheers.

Lol “variety of classes”.

I didnt know 3 classes was considered variety.

I’ve seen all classes being played so far.

I’ve only seen 1 druid and 0 revs. I didnt think the druid nerf was that hard, but tbh they aren’t super strong on some of these maps.

I don’t see many druids at all. Mostly every match is Dragonhunters, Reapers, and Tempests. Those three are about guaranteed to be in every match so far for me, the other two slots are just random.

DH is prominent simply because it’s easy to play. It’s just a simple fact that more people will play an effective build if it is also forgiving.

Engineer ist still the better warrior

DH and Reapers multiple in each match … Followed by thiefs then i see a more engies and druids then the rest. Warrior, ele, mesmer about one each match. Only one revenant in 8 matchs yesterday XD. The good thing this one was good, he kew when to disengage and played a bit like a thief. Unforunately not on my side :-).
Season look promising. It motivates to play not to stop after reaching ruby like rest of the year …

There were a lot of class stacking in my games, mostly thiefs and every match we played with two thiefs was lost. I wish Anet could do somthing about that for ex. remove daily rewards from ranked matches.
