Guild Wars 2

Yes it is. Finaly after 3 season carrying noobs, after 2 seasons getting 1 pip to legend and not be able to get legend rank, cuz matched against legendary premades every time i was one step to it, i finaly got my legendary rank!
The nightmare of the MMR hell is over.
Just giving my experience feedback to anet developers: it was HORRIBLE. I started season one playing only warrior solo que, it was the worst mistake i could have done. My MMR got completely ruined since then, so i started season 2 and season 3 going revenant ONLY soloQ. I quickly discovered that revenant wasnt the best class to carry the team, especialy if sinked in MMR hell, and especialy since the rise of the condi meta, i had to rely too much on team comp or on ele cleanse bot. The pvp experience was HORRIBLE cuz even now that i could get that legendary rank, i never felt was my skill deciding the match. I always had, and still have, the feeling that is matchmaking deciding when i have to lose, and when i have to win.
Even so, i kept trying, i improved, but still i feel like the hardcounters are too heavy, in a way that no matters how much the player can be more skilled than another. I also feel that some classes are way too easy and forgiving than others, like necro, warrior and mesmer. I know friends who wouldnt stand a chance if playing against me in duel, still they hadnt all the problems i had in this season and season 2, thx to relatively good MMR and for using class overperforming.
This instead is my opinion for the other players: if you gonna play soloQ, don’t play a single class like me, comp and balancing is more important than be a master of one class. Fortunately, for me the nightmare is over, i wont play pvp for at least 3 mounths, or untill they fix the condi applications, wich is totaly off hands… and this is coming from a day 1 player who used to love pvp.

Breathe the fresh air and relax. Once I aquired leg rank and got my wings a nice weight was lifted. I still play competitively, but pip loss/gain no longer lingers. It’s back to normal pvp.

However, I do long for some sort of pvp carrot again or something to do with all these badges.

Good for you! The nightmare has been over for me since mid Season 2. I lefted for much much greener pastures. Only come back time to time to see how my GW2 buddies are doing, but they are starting to distance them selves from me because I stream other games. Which are competitive in their very nature and they absolutely hate to hear me having the time of my life on them. So pretty soon I will absolutely have no reason what so ever to even have GW2 on me PC.

GG Anet I used to love and promote the PvP and WvW in GW2. Now as my sig says I’m finding harder and harder to log in.
