Guild Wars 2

I was thinking about it and i dunno if it’s possible but imho it would be great for this game and in general for the pvp side.

Instead of adding multiple game modes for 1/2/3/4 people (not full team) with problematic consequences (community split too much and balance issues), what about monitoring partial premade performance in the leaderboard?

A design like this

2 game modes

Stronghold 1 ranked leadeboard
Conquest 1 ranked leaderboard

A general leaderboard (like now) where there is everything. Doesn’t matter if you go solo, full premade etc we are all in the same leaderboard (like now)

but at the same time

There is a solo queue leaderboard – duoqueue lb – trio queue- 4 men lb for stronghold and conquest (or it could be a filter)

If i go solo my data is recorded in soloqueue lb and general lb if i go duo my data is recorded in duo lb and general lb etc.

What are the advantages?

1) you can compare your performance with other similar roster size players performance and you could rewarded for this
2) you don’t split the community. Queue is always the same. Better time queue
3) People is more incentivated to go in queue if they haven’t a full team.
4) Premade issue is more smooth. I mean if for example soloqueue people lose from premade grp 3+ they can always evalute their performance in the soloqueue leaderboard and compete for soloqueue leaderboard.
5) Chance to win something or placing in higher spot in the lb if you don’t have a full team or you’re solo.
6) Great chance to know new players with similar skill level and create more bigger team.
7) More Competition. More incentive to play. More people. Better for Matchmaking. More stats

What are your thougths?

I think it would be great.

If you think about it Anet is doing a similar design with the Team Leaderboard

3+ People with the same TAG will compete for the Guild leaderboard (and they will have an unique MMR in queue).

I think is possible to extend this design to every roster size, it’s ok a TAG leaderboard but i think it would be possible to monitor individual performance for each roster size.

In every case, i think it would be an awesome stat to know.
