Guild Wars 2

I’m just so SICK of this kitten. My friend and i mostly play duo in ranked, he plays most of the time ele or engi and i swap classes to what the team needs most, since i can play all classes moderatly well. Don’t get me wrong, i’m an averange skilled player, and i can’t invest more than 2 hours a day in the game since i just don’t have the time for more.
But HONESTLY, how can it be that i played 5 FRICKING times in a row against fraelina and denshee yesterday when i didn’t even play ranked in season 4 and only started yesterday to get into the game again?
Is the player base this small already? My MMR is literally at the bottom of the barrel, and i still get matched up against pro esl players? What the kitten is wrong with this kitten?
That was my main reason for quitting pvp in season 3 and i don’t see myself getting through s5 with my hair attached to my head if this continues further…
I truly love this game and the pvp, but this system is so broken it hurts.

Can I play with you? I never get matched with esl players and I need the challenge…

lol sure. But you get players on your team who dont know that a point doesn’t cap faster if the are standing with 3 ppl on it…

First you say you’re an average skilled player, then you say your MMR is literally at the bottom of the barrel.

Sorry, you can’t have it both ways.

At least it looks like you know the small population is to blame for inaccurate matches. Never mind, you later said it’s “broken” showing you don’t understand how it works. So, guess what? If you keep losing against esl players your MMR will lower to where you belong, and also playing after a long break gives your volatility a higher value.

You cant blame losses solely on playing against ESL players. Many of them are frequently solo and a lot of there magic comes from being part of a cohesive team. Two hours a day is enough play time to be as good as anyone by the way. More then enough. ESL players solo and get stuck with morons and lose sometimes just like everyone else. Contrary to the popular belief a lot of people like to perpetrate it is very had to carry in this game as 1 person.

Wonder what my own ratings are! :P Guess we can find out soon enough.

But remember, with the last several seasons attempting at a 50/50 balance. Most people will be just above or just below average.. It has probably destroyed some top ratings simply by placing them against an on average similar opposing team.

I thought the ratings were getting a hard reset for this season, is this not so?

With current conquest in GW2’s you can’t carry like you can in other PvP games. You can only mantain 1 out of 3 points. Other games you can kill the other team and then your team can kill their titan.(Carry)

A good player can use proper rotations to maximize their effect on the match.

The difference between gw2 and other games is that you can’t carry by simply being a good fragger.

There was a soft reset so players are closer to average to start the season.

What about out thinking your enemies by countering their builds because of items choice though out the whole match, also those class stacking in those games are not allowed because of how OP some of them are when stacked on one team. Again one player can not carry a match in GW2 with team mates that are worst then the enemy team, where as in other PvP games you take 4/4/4/4 and your self a 9 players against a team of 6/6/6/6/7 players and still beat them while in GW2 your team mates would just give the other team 2 points while you rotate and hold one all match.

Both are fun styles at times but one does allow a player to truly carry a match while the other one just falls short. But I think that’s what ANet was going for anyways so meh. I just don’t get why people get upset over the truth so much to the point they tries to spin it into lies. However facts are facts very little can change that fact as well.

4/4/4/4 and your self a 9 players against a team of 6/6/6/6/7

It wouldn’t match you like that in the first place anyway. It would take 4,4,4,4,6,6,6,6,7,9 and make it 4,4,6,6,9 and 4,4,6,6,7. Your averages are 25/5 = 5, 31/5=6.2 and the other is 27/5=5.8, 27/5=5.4 a difference of 0.4 rather than 1.2

That’s how the algorithm works.

Hammer mode engage! Ok so that’s why matches and things like this are the norm in PvP atm right?

Because equal matchups right? LOL

Looks like your ratings aren’t that far apart (assuming I looked up the right denshee). Both are a bit above average.

keked. " a bit" better player than avarage

LOL at the hard truth for Denshee. He is only a bit above average.

Wait wait wait guys. Calm down. Did you check the date of my original post? I wrote the post on tuesday morning and played the matches on monday evening. I wasn’t complaining about the new matchmaking system, but about the old one. I’m mostly happy about the new mms Do yes, my mmr was down because i didn’t play pvp for more than half a year and i’m an averange skilled player.
@Evan Lesh: it’s nice to know you actually read the posts on the forums and reply to them. Keep up the good work!
