I noticed recently that pvp has slowly becoming more and more about luck than skill.
This in the sense that people who play pvp for the first time can get into ranked.

The games are run entirely by
- will my team have 2-3 people run to close
- does a single person on my team notice there’s a chat screen
- will they ignore the bell, stillness, or skyhammer
- will i have afk people in my team

less than half my losses are based on a real combat skill difference, the remainder more about afk people, or people who dont even grasp the basics. It baffles me, (and i dont even consider myself good, i have experience, but no talent) that such people can get into ranked gameplay..

My point being, how long do I have to play seriously, knowing I’ll always have soneone on my team who doesn’t even want to pvp

Only thing I can really say to help you. Is to look under my forum name and read the last few posts I’ve wrote. They may help and guide you to the solution to your woes.

I maybe a troll with class.
But at least I admit it!
PoF guys get ready for PvE joys

Matchmaking is all about luck if you solo queue and are not top 100 material. Just had 2 people with top 25 title in enemy team and I am currently just gold div. Queue time was short so I assume they deliberately dropped their MMR to ruin matchmaking.

Unless you’re a player at the top yes it is about luck. Only a few people are good enough to climb out of the muck.
