Guild Wars 2

Remove the daily “insert class here” requirements. Change it to “win a pvp match”.

Having matches where everyone is flooding them with the class daily makes them imbalanced. Not everyone is good on every class and given the fact that the matchup is based on MMR rating and not what class you are playing, this is going to get thrown every time.

Also, add dishonor back in for people leaving and the fix becomes two-fold.

There, matchups fixed.

On a side note, I’m tired of the complaints regarding imbalance. Some classes need some adjusting, yes. But I’ve been wrecked by every class and I’ve wrecked every class. L2P.

Just a small correction, there was a comment by a dev (Evan?) that MMR is broken into two parts when matching, one is account MMR, the other is profession. So if you play on a profession you’ve done worse with, you’ll be matched accordingly.

The answer to the question of whether you can exploit this by tanking a classes mmr, queuing with said class, and then switching to your “real” class was left unanswered. I think this was being questioned pre-June 23rd patch, so with all the bug/balance fixes it was forgotten about.

EDIT:
Not to say that it’d be bad to change this up. It’s a bit silly the way it currently is (although the relatively recent changes include 50% of the classes, why not just make it 100%). The daily is already completed in 1 pvp match (assuming you win with profession relevant).

Hm, that’s interesting. Must have missed that. Still, I wonder if matches will get affected by the fact.. say you have 2 or 3 of one class on a team due to the profession daily. If your other team has classes strong against those, you’ll win easy – if your team is weak against that class, you’ll get rolled.

I played with a class I rarily play with yesterday and got matched against ESL players. Even the class-MMR is totally screwed.

Nope, this is because of the weighting.

Account MMR 75%
Class MMR 25%
