Guild Wars 2

Before anything, i’d like to say that this season seems to have the best mindset behind it’s ranking system so far on this game.

But it is extremely annoying how the rating gain/loss after a match is calculated. It is currently requiring me an above 50% win/loss ratio to maintain my position. And it has been like that for awhile now.

I have no idea how do you calculate the rating variations after a match but it needs some serious look. The system is too volatile. How can i be on position #42 of the ladder and 3 games later i am #213? Did my skill level drastically decrease within 1 hour? It isn’t rewarding at all to be ’’good’’ with this kind of system because you’re always severely punished for losing a match on a 5v5 conquest system.

I’m linking a picture of the typical rating gain/loss im experiencing this season. Currently I am losing 2.5~1.5x more rating per loss than i am winning per win.

I’ve noticed the same thing. I might be biased but I’m having a hard time figuring out how points rank points work too.

Count yourself lucky. I’m in low gold now after starting the season in Platinum. I get +7-10 for a win and -20-27 for a loss

I was at position 100 and one game later i wasnt in ladder. Took me like 8-7 win streak to get from 250 to 100 though.
If you wont get lucky or abuse the matchmaking system as much as possible, you wont climb. (duoQ / Q at night so you play vs gold / dodge other players in top 50)
