Guild Wars 2

Two stacked skilled players can swing games quite heavily, since pure SoloQ was not given to us as a poll what are your thoughts on this with regards to making games more competitive and equitable?

They should just make it so duo Q can only go vs other duo Qs. 5 solos should not be placed vs 2+2+1.

No matter what bad players will complain when losing, plus it shouldn’t matter if everyone is similar mmr

If we’re being fully honest here…there are a lot of things which can swing matches way harder than having just two stacked skilled players. The following will overcome them:

• Certain Class-Stacking (which apparently isn’t a PvP development priority)
• A bad thief on their team (which isn’t them)
• A bad mesmer on their team (which isn’t them)
• A bad {any other role} on their team (which isn’t them).
• Bad rotations by rest of their team.
• A camping bunker on their team.
• The other team having 5 skilled players.

Now, I’m not saying that having a duo doesn’t swing games… They do have a slight edge; however, even before this season: being duo rarely overcame the other, more frequent, possibilities above.

On the other hand, it also comes down to class balancing. There are deadly duo combinations…but we haven’t even tried the upcoming balancing changes yet.

I like it. I mostly solo queue, but during ranked season I frequently duo queued with friends from all over the place. That was really fun, but not ROFL stomp over powered.
