Guild Wars 2

Why?

It’s much harder to win in Solo Q, since these things often occur:

• Spirit Watch & Skyhammer
• 4v5 and afk
• People on your team who have no idea what they’re doing
• Fighting against teams that have R50s+, with R10 on your side

Clearly, managing to still win with that deserves more rewards.

and here is why not:

1. 5v4 and fighting against teams with afk
2. People on the enemy team have no idea what they’re doing
3. Fighting against r10s with a r50+ team

clearly winning soloq is much easier than teamq and shouldnt be rewarded as much

Maybe someone from EU that plays both can tell me if the reward is truly justified. I know for NA, there is really no difference between the two and the reward difference is just making people solo queue in team queue. I had a higher win rate and higher leaderboard position while solo in team queue. It was not easier to win in solo queue. It was actually easier to win in team queue since I was high enough on the leaderboard that we typically were matched with a lower leaderboard group.

No, I don’t think Solo Queue should give better rewards. However, the current reward gap should be lowered by a massive margin.

teamQ total broken and anet know there would be no players – thats the only reason why make double reward

to make it fair they should give -10% rewards per player in your group cause they have it much easier to farm randoms with premade

or make teamQ 5 man grps only

as it is now its stupid and feels like a waste of time to play this game – i wanna play soloQ but always when i go in and win a game and get 500 rankpoints i know i would have double this when join teamQ -for the same thing

no point to play this game anymore

there are so many rank 50+ noobs now farmed in teamQ while solo players left behind

Another rational reason could be that forming a team is harder than QQing and letting the “matchmaker” do the job for you. If teamq did not offer any rewards they would be no reason to ever do teamQ since solo would probably be better and faster.

I know right, mind blown.

I see people arguing whether solo queue or team queue should get better rewards. Both are wrong. They should have the same reward.

Why?
Solo queue is about individual skill
Team queue is about team synergy.

The focus is on different things. That’s why there are different leaderboards. The rewards though should be the same.

I think a better amount would be 30 bags for soloQ and 40 bags for teamQ. There are no ladders in place so the top of the mmr soloQ should not be getting half the rewards that the bottom of the teamQ can get when most people solo join teamQ.

All they need to do is make it impossible to solo join team queue. I don’t understand why they even have solo queue if you can solo join team queue for double the rewards and even get the same as a win if you lose.

Good point, although I still think solo queue and team queue should have the same rewards. Actually, it is easier to win in team queue. Get a few of your friends together, and you’ll pretty easily beat any of the PUG teams.

In solo queue, winning comes down to being lucky and/or playing an OP spec.

Wouldn’t change much. People would use the lfg tool. With all the good and bad issues that come with that.

current state of soloq ->

so wow, much fun, i wouldn’t give better rewards for this

honestly though, i think the fact that teamq gives better rewards is justified, you still need to put a team and coordinate… what needs to happen is that you shouldn’t be able to do teamq w/o having full team + allow players to duo queue in soloq like you can do it in league

just no – solo only in soloQ or it is same bullkitten like teamQ

arenanet need to make a unrankedQ for all this 1-5 man teams who wanna play with friends (something liek this is never balanced so 2+3 man teams vs 5man team is ok when unranked)

and soloQ only solo + teamQ only 5 man teams

when 5man team find no match they get asked when wanna paly unranked game while waiting

simple

and the higher reward in teamQ is not justified – cause its same as soloQ and you DONT need to coordinate a team cause you can do teamQ SOLO

AND when you do the work and make a team you have it easier and get alot free wins cause you farm randoms in teamQ – this alone is enough reward (stupid reward but its arenanet)

Has there ever been an official response, why Team Q gives much higher rewards?

Solo queue is about individual skill

That is so not true, even if you win all of your fights, your team can still lose. Solo queue is about being lucky enough to have less kittens on your team than the other team.
