Guild Wars 2

So, before the league season started, Anet said that if you’re solo-queueing, you will no longer have to worry about facing a premade while you’re on a team of all pugs.

Technically, Anet has kept that promise…I haven’t fought a premade team while on a team of ALL PUGS. However, what Anet has failed to realize is that sometimes, people don’t queue in five-man premades. Sometimes, people queue in duos, or trios, or teams of 4. So, how does this affect solo queuers?

Well, it means that like 90% of the time, you’ll still end up fighting full premades or teams of 3-man/2-man premades, or 4-man +1 pug premades…why? Because the matchmaking system has decided that instead of teaming you up with/against other solo queuers, it’s instead going to team you up with a 4-man team or put you on a team with a pair of duo-queuers. So, yes…technically, you’re not on a team of pugs…if anything, YOU’RE the pug….but the fact remains that you’re still a solo queuer and you’re still fighting against a full premade or almost full premade team.

Honestly, Anet, can you please fix this issue so that solo queuers don’t have to fight premade teams and get steamrolled by them?

I got stuck with the same 4 man premade v the same guild 5 man for 3 matches in a row. Thankfully a friend logged on and we teamed up… 2 matches later our 2 man + a 3 man v the same guild 5 man….

Like it was suggested in S1 just separate soloQ and teamQ like it was previously. 5 man premade will only face other 5 man premade. Surw, queue time will go up but atleast players won’t waste time going against premades who are using ccoms…I’d rather have a longer queue time and go into a match knowing I have 50% chance of winning than waiting for a short queue and facing a well organize premade team.

also atleast if there is a solo q and team q, then we know who are the best that able to get high division and get title without premade so who is the best on his own.

That will screw over esl players which Anet is absolutely NOT happy about.

Its exactly like season 1 when it comes to premades, in season 2 i barely got any sucky premades in my team or versus premades. Heck now i get premades 40% of my matches and theyre always like a mix of amber & emeralds & sapphire with 1 ruby which ofc is the villain why theyre all in my match. So great losing 155 to 500 versus a whole ruby team of 3man premade because Anet cant add soloq to this ferking game. Im so salty.

Yep, seems getting the premades are back in full swing…
