Hey guys.

Up till Tuesday this week I was doing perfectly in PvP 1 loss to every 5-6 wins for several days. The suddenly starting Tuesday I won 2 matches out of ~15 (I stop playing after 5 a loss streak each day), I have been using the same build same tactics…And most of the time its just a one sided fight.

WHAT THE F. HAPPENED?

PS: Was a few point from plat.

Same happened to me. I realized it was because I got placed too high. Likely G3 was a bit higher than you should have been placed is all.

I made adjustments, got better, managed to stop the massive 75% loss rate and now instead of G3 I hover around the G1/G2 area with about a .500 win/loss rate. Which, if you think about it, is exactly what you should be if you are in the correct rank.

Sometimes a loss can’t be helped. But the times you get a horrible team comp or matched with horrible players should even out with the times your opponents get horrible team cops or horrible players. Its just how random goes.

I also suggest promoting a healthy team environment by avoiding toxic language when talking to teammates, even if they are doing something you think they shouldnt. Make suggestions, not demands. Be polite, not insulting.

And just realize that sometimes luck happens in streaks.

Happens to me all the time. I’ll be doing super well and then I’ll start losing a ton of matches. I honestly chalk it up to me eventually getting teammates I’m not compatible with (not calling them bad – we just don’t work well together). I’ve lost as much as -150 MMR in a streak… but I always work my way back up to it and possibly further. Just keep at it. lose a lot, but aim to win a lot more!

The same build and tactics don’t always work. You need to adjust based on the opposition and what your team has (assuming everyone is following the respective meta build at the very least).

Don’t be ignorant or toxic when things don’t work out either. Do the best you can with what you got and do what you can to make it work.

Been working for me just fine for the past 3-4 seasons. Power or Condi necro, ~50/50 W/L. Been happy with it.

Gotta say I tried MettaBattle’s builds, nothing, not even a dent in the enemy.

Stopped being kittened off since season 2.
But this loss streak…never experience such a thing in GW2 over the past 5-ish years.

Apparently, you are bad and should learn how to play. Did you lose? Of course you lost, you are bad. What? You had many wins the previous day? Well, you just got carried.

You were gaining rating and “lucky placement guys” were losing it.
Then you meet the “lucky placement guys” with similar MMR in your team.
