Guild Wars 2

I again bring up the topic of 1 vs 1. Seeing kitten vs 5 has failed for 4 seasons. Consider a 1 vs 1 Ranked que with a 1 vs 1 Arena. The rank up progression would be exactly the same as Ruby can lose pips can lose tiers.

The benefit would be that players will finally get balanced 1 vs 1 builds which will increase the balance in 5 vs 5 Also, given how much of the pvp player base is already in 1 vs 1 servers I doubt it would take away from Gw2 5 vs 5 player base. In fact, it would probably add to it.

(Edit:This topic was forced to be a question for some reason and I can’t change it)

Because Arenanet doesn’t support arenas :O Just like Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have guild wars :P

I don’t care if they care I care that the pvp community cares. They care about various things. Balance, more game mode options, and build variety and more. The sad part is they should care as the community is their source of income. It is illogical destroying one source of extra income which would also satisfy the pvp player-base With the (pvp kill split) they don’t have to ruin pve as I already see some pvp runes now.

Perhaps Gw2 is getting neglected because of Lineage Eternal development.

Smite has ranked 1v1. It’s only okay since the game is balanced around 5v5.

I personally like 1v1 balance a lot more myself, but you would actually be lowering the skill cieling, since knowing rotations/+1’s and team utility is part of the depth(although this kinda doesn’t exist in pubs, gib mic support plz). It’d be a long while before you’d have that depth back.

It would lower the initial skill floor perhaps? But that only affect accessibility.

If there is 1v1 balance the skill ceiling criteria will change from what it is now, but it wouldn’t be lower per se.

Personally I find the “depth” to be rather hollow, and forced for the sake of a 5v5 game on what I feel to be a boring game type, and a company that has failed to balance it for over 3 years. (which to be fair balancing 5v5 is a difficult undertaking without easily swaped and played hard counters, or counter building)

I don’t know how many people concur with the subjective parts, but the skill ceiling and depth for other games including fighters, and Starcraft is pretty high considering they are based around 1v1 matchups so I wouldn’t worry about the skill ceiling.

I’m sure if it is properly balanced for 1v1 we’d not only have a healthier game, and less toxic scene. But we’d also have a better E-sport, compared to what we have now. Could possibly even make the 5v5 more interesting to watch.
