Beginning to think his whole aristocrat-against-plebeian persona is an act.
Nah he’s obviously genuinely calling people plebeians.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.

It captures struggle solo/duo queue people have to go through.

yeah,had same experience all day yesterday.All those moments when you need 1 more win to get next tier just ot have fortreit or face premade or some random bulkitten and you go back to grinding…
1 pip away from getting out of Sapphire into Ruby, just 1. And I enter the game to face a pre-made Team PZ with diamond and ruby division players.
I thought to myself, ok well the game is smart enough to know a team full of sapphires got no chance against this premade diamond & rubies right? I wouldn’t lose a pip, perhaps even gain a pip for taking it raw?
Nope, lost the game, had no chance at all. Lost a pip, and that was just the start of my losing streak. 3 hours later my 4 pips in tier 5 sapphire evaporated, and I’ve been winning 1 losing 3 ever since, going nowhere. I’ve faced pre-mades of 4-5 pro league players at least 4 times in 3 hours. Needless to say no matter how many times I’ve won, I’ve lost pips every single time against these impossible match ups so I’m flat in my tier at the moment not sure if I want to continue.
Oh queue popped, it’s the sunfish crew again (with Track who’s a diamond btw), gonna afk while I post this since we aren’t gonna win. Why the game is making sapphire division pugs play a pre-made diamond + rubies, I really don’t know. kitten

I’d prolly do the same thing just for the sake of my dignity but some idiot from your team could have reported you for botting if you SoloQ’d. Lots of tryhard idiots out there

lol I didn’t really afk, I went out and fought, capped a couple of nodes. But there was no way to win, and I’ve faced this same team 3 times now in the past 2 hours. They’re royally screwing my advancement, I’m now flat in my tier with no pips due to this one pre-made with diamond + ruby players.
Guys I think we all want to see personal MMR independantly impact the amount of pips won or lost.
Rather than devolving this discussion into anecdotal toxicity, lets make it clear what the issue is (as Helseth did).
Without this tweak, when coupled with mmr abuse of the safety nets, the system could risk getting worse as people progress in leagues (they need to reflect actual ability)

I would like to see an in-game mmr, but even Anet is too smart for its volatile nature and they dont have a system to show it accurately “quoting a dev post from 2 yrs ago”. I guess it sounds simple to implement, but due to low player population, it’s very volatile.

I m just curious, why Soloqing and wishing to face SoloQ’ers on your team and against you is “tryharding” ?

It’s try harding and having self esteem issues when you soloQ, face a team you are guaranteed to lose to and still run out to feed them points and get yourself farmed over and over and over and over. And then reporting your teammates when they refuse to participate in a struggle destined for you to lose to.
I’m basically agreeing with him that I’d afk too.
That was the context of my comment. Don’t add stuff that wasn’t there in the first place, k

I hate it when people are confrontational about your comment without fully understanding its origin and context
