Guild Wars 2

Confirmed legend is a joke.

That’s because mostly only the really bad are playing. If you have a decent MMR you will get the best players on your side and you’ll face moronic trash the vast majority of the time all the way through. Most of the better players made legendary weeks ago and stopped playing. Even most of the average players have stopped playing. What is left is the worst of the worst and a small minority of better players.

Yeah, I know all of this. Hence why it is a joke. I got legend early on in season 1 and 2 and it was also easy.

I think this applies across the board and here’s my reasoning: due to the matchmaker’s nature the higher you go the harder competition you face (which should be the case). The problem starts however when you have one group of players grouped against what the MM deems inferior or superior players depending on which end of the fence you land. This would lead to more losses than wins at some point especially where you can lose divisions. As worse players get fed up with being consistently outclassed they leave, thus the standard for the worst players goes up. People who were average before are now bads, then they will get trounced and quit afterward.

People then go to unranked instead, but the toxicity and reasons for avoiding ranked have seeped there too. What’s the big glaring problem with the picture? Right! No Legacy! Sometimes it didn’t even come up as an option and there were more Khylos than I cared for (I never, ever vote that map my vote priority is Legacy-Temple-Forest-Spiritwatch-Skyammer-Khylo just subtract Spiritwatch and Skyhammer for ranked) Later however I queued as an ele but had three druids on our team and the opposing team had three druids so I rerolled druid for that match and we won it. It was actually quite a fun game lol!

Age, you as a thief should love khylo, it’s like a playground

It’s too small though. I shortbow up mid at the start, start capping, then two seconds later slower classes come up and contest it. There’s also the ish where so much stuff gets in the way of your camera and if you cap then mid is close enough to either node where a slower class can easily catch up to you while capping. If you’re faster than someone and reach a destination it’ll take them longer to reach you. Let’s say you run 10 miles an hour for a mile, so you take six minutes, but someone runs 5 miles an hour, they reach the same destination in 12 minutes. That’s a six minute difference. If they go half a mile then it takes three minutes for the rabbit and six minutes for the turtle, a three minute difference. In Guild Wars 2 terms you could take 5 seconds to reach a node 2,000 units away but the other guy takes 10 seconds, but a node 1,000 units away will be reached in 2.5 seconds by the fast and 5 seconds by the slower. Since 5 is greater than 2.5 you have a little more leeway.

Sometimes Khylo feels good but I hate seeing teams die to treb at mid and I’m the only one who engages the trebber, really bad news on a guardian if I’m on thief. Most guardians are trivial on my druid though but I have ran into some tougher ones.

Since I tend to play medium-fast (ele with the proper utilities, and staff druid traited for switftness upon heal) and fast classes and don’t have the patience for dealing with tanks I like bigger maps. Plus Legacy has some spots where less experienced players would assume shortbow tries would result in no valid path like near mid the ledge leading to the bridge near the stairs and then shortbowing to a rocky place to cross the metal bridge (though a tree could obstruct your retical you can zoom in for better aim).

This season was stuff made out of nightmares for me. Much worse than season 2 and 1. Season 1 best season.
