Guild Wars 2

So I know what people will say but I don’t really care <3

To be honest i’m doing this one more time to prove something what tons of players will complain about. This pvp season is bad or mmr is not right etc.

Well I was able with my old power warrior build (without HoT) to reach almost legendary but got high tier platinum. The games were all good matched (not all but ok) and I had one los cuz of thief daily ! BTW can anet not remove daily from ranked arena it’s really annoying ?!?

Now from 10 I got 9 wins and people can say what they want luck or just had bad opponents etc. but this goes for your own team to.

Just to mention it again : Stop complaining on the system and get good by your own you don’t have excuses now the other team was premade or my team was so bad when you are having same mmr.

Oh and i’m glad the flamers won’t have anything to say after this.

Screenshot just to prove that you can do it even without hot to reach higher ranks !

See you later alligator !

I like this system alot and i played vanilla engineer with rifle and p/sh, it felt like hard mode cause vanilla engi doesn’t have alot of stunbreaks on the builds and low stability.

You got lucky with teams in placement and now you’re here to brag about it or…? Don’t worry, you’ll be back down soon enough

Funny because you’re not even lv 80 in pvp, i’m not saying you’re bad, but you’re very inexperienced and you’re using wrong skills in the bar … i’ve got 1600 points and i’m getting a lot of people that i know they are very good,most of them got legend. this MD10 was really good for ppl that got a good team that dont feed home every single respawn

I think him not being level 80 in PvP is fine. It doesn’t even mean anything tbh. I used to be sub 80 tearing people up, because I dueled all day. I do think a lot of people complaining contribute to their problem. Not all, but a lot. Also, as time goes on, if he is truly meant to be top ten, then he’ll be there after playing over 100 games. MMR decay is a wonderful thing… Let’s give this system a chance.

Clearly not I got with my main account also Platinum with 8/10 wins.

I got even lower ranked than my second account which surprised me a little bit but still good for my opinion.

Luck on the placement matches ? I don’t believe so it depends hard on your skill and it’s true sometimes you can’t carry everygame :-P

People just always say it’s the fault from others if they get low rank but maybe it’s not =)

And the start lvl or points doesn’t matter cuz anet reset them so you don’t have to think you are the best player in the world and got under plat or gold rank points.

What anet could make is for next season those players who were higher ranked gonna get 10 placement matches from the beginning with higher ranked so they are equally good matched.

And last thing hopefully they remove dailies from ranked arena :-)

The screenshot shows a whole 10 games played. Who’d you duo with in placements?

Show us what your score looks like 40 games in ( me ) or 100. Until then, you’re not really showing anything significant.

The whole MMR system seems flawed. I actually have higher win/loss ratio than some people on my friendlist, but 100-200 lower MMR?
I am at 69,2% winrate but have almost 200 lower MMR than someone with 50% winrate.

Working as intended. It could be that he’s been playing against higher mmr players, especially during placement, which leads him to having a higher mmr.

It is still a poor system since I have no control about the average MMR of my team or opponent team. So the time of someone else got rewarded higher just because he was lucky to be allowed to play against people with higher MMR.
One more reason why AP for the top 250 titles are a bad idea.

I have no idea if this is true. But ideally, if you keep winning during placement matches, your mmr gets inflated till you get matched with top players. If you win against them, you get a higher mmr starting point. If you lose, your mmr gets dropped quite a bit since it was ‘artificially’ inflated in the first place. So it’s not really about luck.

Unless, of course, this didn’t happen to you. Since Gw2 didn’t give a detailed layout of how the mm system works, I’m just speculating from personal experience and observation from othet games.

I will keep an eye on it over the next days if the MMR keeps staying unfairly far apart.

@Ithilwen
I played on both accounts 10 games solo and I have screenshots from all games that I was playing alone :-P

@Malediktus
The mmr system seems not to depend on your current win lose ratio it looks like they mentioned before all got reset and the 10 placement matches show depending on your enemies what rank you get. And if you have more than 2 loses I doubt you would be able to reach plat or something else.

Now to the people who don’t understand mmr system.
If you have for example a mmr of 1900 you can still get matches with players about 100-200 points difference (just as example) or even more. So if you are on your team the highest mmr player is doesn’t mean all of your team might be same mmr. That’s the reason for getting less points on a win then losing more points on a lose. Now if you want to climb ranks better I recommend to wait til mid season where all players had placement games and a few extra games. This allows you to play against higher ranked players and hence to get more points on a win. But keep in mind you can also lose against lower mmr which causes 30-50 points.

Now why you don’t get 30-50 points on a win? Basically cuz atm. the players ain’t all on their meant to be mmr place and i’m sure you don’t get a full team of same rank as you are. The other reason is climbing with every win 30-50 points would be pretty easy and not a hard thing to reach legendary that’s why you get about 10-20 points only.

The fact that good players and i’m like 100% sure good players should have no problem to reach atleast plat if they play good games even from the last rank which I doubt good players would be :-P

Fun fact about those people who say always my team was bad etc. is it possible that the enemy team had only pro gamers and your team only beginners? Or was the enemy team just playing better ? Sure I had those games to with 2 thief players who don’t switch against 3 dh and scrapper ele but those are a minority of games.
If you have good comp and you lose the game then it’s because you had bad teamplay and nothing else. You would wonder how many players are already on plat without hot they ain’t complaining about it they just have skill and earned they ranks :-)

I had one los cuz of thief daily !

You just validated what thieves have been complaining about all year. If you walk into pvp with your thief, people will start with death threats.
