We all know the story – ruby is where it gets hard and everyone’s on the edge. But when i get blamed by my teammate for playing non-meta class (necro) that’s when line gets crossed.
So to all “meta whiners” (and those who don’t like it that their teammates “suck”):
If you didn’t go through effort of making your own premade team that has the professions you want manned by ppl you like, don’t go whining about what you get in solo queque.
Reminds me of the idiots in Smite who instalock a Loki or a Thanatos then write in chat “need tank” If u want a guardian to babysit you form a party m8.

It’s about looking for a scapegoat and whining like a baby instead of fixing the problem by taking matters into your own hands and organizing a team. If you don’t build it, they won’t come, simple as that.

play what you want, but don’t tell others then how you want them to play. none of your business.
I play mostly necro (the non HoT variant) and i have never had this kind of complaints of my team. (Nor have i had many difficulties wiping out enemies that are not counter builds.) But that is because necro is nowhere near as Underpowered as, lets say Warrior.
Besides that, it is annoying if your team has one, two or more non meta classes that are compared to meta classes garbage. No matter how good the players are, GW2 is so unbalanced that there is nothing you can do and you will lose the game.
That is quite frustrating for many people. Anet is to blame for that, but if you are in div 4+ where losses can actually ruin a lot of time people, you shouldn’t pick the worst classes ‘just because’. Go play unranked if you want to have a fun time with the most underpowered, but sometimes funny, builds. Don’t be surprised when people get frustrated.
But yeah, thats not valid for necros. Only Warrior and thief. You can ofcourse have a horrible non meta build on the other classes. That also ruins games :p.

He’s not saying “play how I want,” he’s saying if you don’t play to win don’t complain about not winning.
Had a thief on team today, as usual he gets asked to swap because otherwise we would loose. The thief doesnt swap rotated and played great and never died. And the good part, in the end the guys apologized for the comments start. Was nice to have a thief showing up at perfect moments. So yea, just play what you like and get good at it.

I so agree with this. If you play soloq assume the inherent risk that goes with it. If you can’t stand non-meta build don’t play unless you are full premade period.
As long as it isn’t thief or warrior (although thief can still carry it’s own weight vs non-meta comps), anything goes honestly. People don’t understand the game enough to complain about meta if they’re only in ruby (game veterans notwithstanding).

So my marauder staff ele is ok?
If you can’t stand being with thieves and wars do not soloq. The only sure way to get a team you 100% approve of is to go premade.
This reminds me of people ‘playing’ random arena in gw1 only to rage quit or vent frustration when their team had no monk. They wanted the soloq but none of it’s inherent drawbacks. And of course they didn’t want to play monk themselves to make sure they always had one because everything was always the monks fault…
Funny you say that. I’ve been having more fun (and success) with my vanilla marauder staff ele lately than the meta tempest auramancer build.
Find a build that clicks with you and get good at it, that’s all I ask from solo queue.
I do have success with my marauder staff and I like it a lot. I do not have as many easy victories as with ubber cheese cele auramancer but good enough for sure.
The problem is, you will likely be judged by others if they find out you play marauder staff when they expect you to be cheese tempest. It is none of their business from the moment they decided to soloq but it does get tiresome.
can only agree with op, solo is different thing to team, you’ll never know who is in your team. Metas are based on interaction, preferable with teamspeak. Solo players have other needs, they don’t know who they get, so meta’s aren’t always the best options. As i see it the one who is complaining is not adapting and ruing the game.

No problem bro, just give back soloQ and everybody will be happy to leave awesome you in your awesome teamQ with your awesome teammates and awesome 1h+ queue time.

Haha I remember that too. What was more hilarious when you finally get a team with a monk and he is smite. Poor smiter monks got raged on hard. That’s why I never ever played one in random arena.

As long as you can kite, I don’t see why not. Staff has great aoe and can do some serious damage if played right.
I’m reaching Ruby now (a rank behind) and most of the Thieves and Warriors I’m finding (both in my team and in the enemy team) are suprisingly good. I guess that most of them are really good players or truly devoted to the class, so they are overcoming the handicaps of their class through skill and practice, whereas worse players just jump to the flavour of the month meta (oftenly doing it as poorly as ever).
By the way, I’m playing DH and Herald (like 95%/5%) and despite having fun with both I’m MUCH better playing with my non-meta DH than with the copy & paste Rev, like going from ~55% w/l to ~25% w/l. So, sugesting others to change their class a lot of times doesn’t provide better chances of success.
The problem is how in earth some players are ruby, some are so amber type that you want to cry, not to mention when you make a pre-made..it’s like soloing without TS… so that’s it…
And the tier 1 -2 cry babyes… cry more, I tried to queue with them, played once, but never again, they play like a 6 year old child… so sometimes the exploit backfires…

I’m starting to wonder how on earth some players are diamond. (1st screenshot, forest match)
Also yea, sometimes the exploit backfires. Did you not think the other team might also have an amber? (2nd screenshot also forest; thanks for the 2 pips, diamond!)

Yeah, Anet want to “carry” the pre-made by tossing Solo-Quers inside pre-made so they have more games to “farm”.
The real thing to blame is Anet’s neglected PVP system that make the pre-made PVP base so small to begin with. If the PVP base is large enough, there shouldn’t be a problem of pre-made farming solo Q.
In this meta, if you can’t sustain in glass you’re not a damage dealer, you’re a liability to your team, and people treat you like garbage. So, deal damage with rev or go bunker.
I play a non meta build on a non meta profession, so I have my share of emotional abuse. That’s why, from time to time, I give my body to opponent’s team for science, and I drink the tears of my “teammates” in return.
I also perversely enjoy the ultra toxic community anet is crafting. It’s fascinating.
Looking forward to my next pro league twitch chat experience. And no, anet, !gold and !bet don’t hide the continuous bashing you receive.
Balance team is a bunch of clowns, hurting the game to the full extent of their abilities.
