Guild Wars 2

It seems to me that if you do solo que, which a lot of people do, it is punished in several ways.

First of all you get a completely random team, meaning that the team rating goes up or down based purely on luck.

Not fun being rank xx and having a team composed of mainly rank 10 and below.

Another issue I have noticed is that the game seems to favor class vs class, one team will randomly have 3 to 4 people of one class and the other will have a similar team with another class.

This means that a well rounded team often gets completely anihalated if the 3 to 4 people are all thieves/mesmers/eles

Or the well rounded team can’t do anything at all if the 3 to 4 people are mainly bunkers like Guardian/engineer/ranger or what have you.

There is in my opinion a need to try to not only balance the matches where the teams actually meet teams of similar or equal skill level, but also a need to balance the hot joins so that it will try to compose the team of people of similar or equal skill level, with a bit of emphasis on not trying to put every guardian or every thief on the same team.

This matchmaking system is currently most of all something that seems like a bad joke.

with ratings hot joins really hurt (trust me I’m feeling it right now)

it’s those guys with premades that come in and pub stomp that are reaping the rewards imo

This is not so much about who reaps the rewards and who does not, but more an issue of actually having good games rather than being roflstomped by either a premade or another solo que team which was more lucky in the people they got.

It is no fun playing IE a bunker guardian and the other team has 3 thieves, try bunkering a point and see if you live long enough to even use one of your skills.

It is no fun coming in on 2 guardians with high dps and just being grinded down slowly but surely because you can’t make a dent in them, even if you are 2v2.

It is no fun ending up against a team with 3 mesmers spamming so many clones you don’t know which is which, only to be smashed to bits when they all blow them on you at once.

There are too many issues to list them all, so these are only a few choice examples of what is going on in the solo que games.

There is a real need to try to make teams that actually work, or at least field people of near to equal skill for the whole team.

I have seen teams of zergers win with ridiculous points, where any of those people alone would not be a problem because people have no clue as for what to do, they just keep going to the fight one by one to die.

Please for the sake of the interweb gods, fix the system so that the team generation actually makes just a little bit of sense.
