Guild Wars 2

Even though I’m consistently topping the scoreboard with 18-20 kills and 0 deaths I have only won like 12 games out of 40. Now it’s obviously not based on individual skill but it seems that your rating goes up based on TEAM wins. If you are dominating games it should increase your match making rating personally. Because I can still tell that the people at my rating are complete garbage compared to hotjoin players, and I would assume that hotjoin players probably aren’t the elite of this game.

How am I supposed to increase my rating if I have terrible luck and only get paired with crap players? I quit WoW because I was sick of my team dragging me down. This game is arguably even MORE team reliant and a crappier version of WoW PVP with lower skill cap and after sitting around 2300 rating due to playing bad class I come here to see roughly the same imbalances and lack of diversity. I’m pretty much just close to quitting even though I’ve been her maybe 4 months. Pretty close to just quit playing online games altogether since they are all team based 12 year old infested with non English speakers who have no clue what the word teamwork even means.

sadly the pvp in spvp does not stand for player vs player… It stands for point vs point

edit: and by point i mean the lil circle things (colourful things)

SoloQ is RNG.

Before entering a match, I always pray for more warriors on my team and more thieves on enemy team.

If you are such a linguist yourself what do you care what language they speak.

Please show us a screenshot of a solo queue with 20 kills. Until then I believe you are just wildly inflating the truth.

The scoreboard pts system is a poor measure of game performance.

One simple scenario: Whole team zerg together, kill the same target, and all stand together capping points. You get high pts, but always getting 2capped and losing.

You are supposed to capture and hold the points, not get kills. Glory score you get in the end doesn’t mean anything. You are the reason your team loses. Sorry!

Just go spirit ranger or hambow war. You’ll be “top” in a blink of an eye…no skill needed..

I’d say yolo q is 80% about luck. If you get a good team comp consisting of 5 non-afking players your chances are dramaticaly higher. And the more necros, wars, rangers in your team, the better.

I bet you’re one of those people who fight offpoint and think kills wins the game.

Let me see my Victory % : 35,90%

I bet you’re one of those people who fight offpoint and think kills wins the game.

Personnally, I play necro and defend the Closest point. I’m usefull for my team !

I also fight ON points. Fighting outside is useless, unless for the temple map, with the mid and top buffs.

Well you know, if I defend my point but no one takes the middle or go to the far …. => you lose !!!!!

If you get a good team comp consisting of 5 non-afking players your chances are dramaticaly higher.

Coordination dude. Without coord, even with good ppl, you may lose.

Solo Q tips:

1, Know your build and play accordingly – unless you are forced to take 1v1s you cant win then don’t. If you are running a necro team fight build (for example) then make sure you run to the team fights and win them. Keeping 3 team mates alive is way more clutch than just capping a side point.

2, Try to arrange an opening in map chat

3, Bias the powerful secondary objectives if you are a strong player (hammer, treb, bottom buff on temple, orb) and have a weaker team. This is the easiest way to carry a team to victory

4, Use the map to make smart decisions about where to reinforce. Often this will be turning 2v2 into a 3v2 and helping ur team – rather than trying to take a 1v1 in such a scenario.

5, Call targets and focus targets

Solo q is fun sometimes because it, often, takes tactics and team comp out of the game. That is pretty much 95% team q in the current meta with so many unkillable (yet massive dps) warriors an thieves. Sometimes in team q it is easy to get bored of losing to rotations like this irrespective of how you actually do in the “fair” fights and that is where solo q is fun.

In solo q your communication and rotations dont matter as much and it is just down to your pure combat skills. Which is more fun I think

Only applies if you play on a EU server. Fun fact: Language spoken by the majority of people in europe is german. Why should people adapt to a minority?

Other than that: yes, it’s luck which team has more spamgeneers.

Hum nice post Lord, but the reality is pretty different.

1, Know your build and play accordingly

A lot of ppl don’t know their build. Also, playing full berserker in soloQ isn’t the best idea.

2, Try to arrange an opening in map chat

No one do it… Most of the time ppl dun even say hello/hi.

3, Bias the powerful secondary objectives if you are a strong player

Most of the time ppl don’t go to the secondary objectives. For exemple, the top buff at silentstorm, usually ppl forget it….

4, Use the map to make smart decisions

What is a smart decision ?lol Lots of ppl don’t care about map strategy.

5, Call targets and focus targets

Depends, but usually it works.

Same as in any team PvP game with a solo queue, yep.

Even though points don’t determine actual helpfulness, if he is getting 20 kills a game on a roamer class, he is more than doing his job. I have a feeling he is wildly exaggerating though.

PvP shouldnt be about who can cap the most points, it should be about PvP. I completely agree with OP, this isnt PvP; this is like capture the flag where you dont have to be good at PvP, but you do have to capture points…Lame.

Na once you get higher than the % region (MMR hell) and consistently play against good players you don’t really see the game the same way anymore.

Of course, it’s easy to get burnt out when you see PvE updates every 2 weeks and get the “coming soon” posts regarding anything PvP.

So umm. There is only like 1000 players per region who are not in MMR hell? :< 1000 is nothing for a game like this.

this is like capture the flag where you dont have to be good at PvP,

defence = PvP
fight on points = pvp

You do that all the time Curie…
But I agree, there are too many plp who think that score means EVERYTHING/ANYTHING. I would be happy if there was no scoreboard or it gets revamped.

The fact that you are playing the score-board proves you are a bad player OP.

you can always go hotjoin if you have so many complaints about soloq. soloq is 80% luck 20% skills. don’t take it seriously. i like soloq because it has less zergs.

why get worked up about your standing from the leaderboards? it’s just a game for kids and kids at heart. this is not real sports like soccer and chess, dude. it’s not something that you can tell your family and friends that you’re good at it. lol

It’s like that in any PvP game though. Dota 2 is legendary for the bads in their version of MMR Hell, and I’m sure League has its swarms too.

You really do have to play well to get into the leaderboards and stay there. I was like 65% when I came back after leaving the game and got into the top 400

Bro I think you’re in the wrong place, this isn’t the PvE forums.
