Guild Wars 2

Queuing solo is a nightmare. It’s not fun. Taking even one more person makes it a lot more fun. Getting 3-5 is ideal, but going in alone is terrible, no one is having fun and everyone’s just yelling at each other. A solo queue option would be really nice for leagues.

Why wasn’t it needed before? Easy, win or lose it didn’t matter, there was no punishment for loss but now there is. Now that this exists, however, this makes a lot of people get angrier when they are losing, or when they think they’ll lose. Don’t get me wrong, that existed before, but now it’s a nightmare. When I party up, which I almost always do now, it’s rarely 5 pug vs 5 pug matches, usually it’s against at least one 3 person team. I don’t mind there being a favour to team work, which should exist, but there are going to be a lot of people that don’t have a party cause they’re just doing a game or two, need a solo queue.

It’s not going to fix a lot, salt won’t go away, but at least it will cut down on it and not make being in a team against 5 pugs feel like a free win. This is the other side of it. Teaming up doesn’t necessarily require coordination and rarely do I find my team losing. I’ve done some stupid things when I play with a team, like tonight I spectral walked back through a test of faith, which was stupid and it should’ve hindered my team, but the enemy team was chasing a downed ele in mist form off the point he was defending and never captured it so we won. That’s just bad play, and these guys were emerald/sapphire, but I can’t blame them too much because none of them were partied up and one ended up rage quitting. I just feel bad for them, and I’m not having the crazy fun I could be having if at least some of them were in a team. Things might be different in EU but I can’t imagine there would be a lot of backlash against this.
