Guild Wars 2

So there’s this

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/finding-the-perfect-match/

From ArenaNet’s article:
“… tired of seeing matches with five ham-bow warriors? So are we!
We’ll also spice up competition by matching you up with your closest ladder rivals.”

Couldn’t help but think of this when our trio encountered encountered a team of 3 Reapers + 2 DH who were running in pairs. Of course we were destroyed with a 500 to 140 outcome in our disfavor. Our queue time was only about four minutes, we could have waited longer to get a fair ranked right. It’s clear ArenaNet has made changes. They clearly do not care if your team encounters Herald x3, Scrapper x3, etc…

What is unfair about fighting 3 reaper+2 DH? Sounds like a free pip.

So if I’m understanding this right.
Weren’t you the one who made a thread that everyone was just going to stack Rev, Druid, and Tempest?

And now you’re mad that someone stacked reapers and DHs?

At any rate, were the 3 Reapers on a team together? If so, the only thing they can do about that is, well. Nothing in your case. Because pretty much everyone agrees trio-queue should be forced into “Team Queue”.

I love Reapers. I use em for ornaments if they refuse to acknowledge my presence in a teamfight.

To your original question, No. That wasn’t me. To your second question: The 3 Reapers and 2 Dragon Hunters were all solo queued together. The match making algorithm put both teams together. This was the whole point of referencing the ANet article on matchmaking.

I see 2 or 3 dh guardians or reapers on teams all the time now. I think the only reason i don’t see tempest ele’s as much is because they are harder to play, but those would be the metas i would bet on in an esl match.

I don’t know what all this talk about mesmers is all about. I didn’t see it that successful in the first monthly after hot release. noone even played warriors, thiefs or mesmers that first month, and imo nothings changed except these top teams realizing the competition sucks and are showing off with diff classes now. IMO< reapers, tempests and dh guards is the real meta. I mean lets face it, not only do they sustain way more dmg then prehot builds, but they also do a hell of alot more dps on top of that and they are way easier to play.

Fair enough.

I wonder if there was just a crap ton of reapers Q’ing at that time, around your MMR, and the match making system chose whatever it could.

shrug

Since I have free time I might play around with that idea.

first monthly esl match after hot came out, two reapers, two tempests, and a dh guard or druid or both on the top teams

revnakittens like the only class got a nerf really
they were doing like 700k dmg a match or something lol

i get top dmg on my warrior when i do between 4 and 5 sometimes lol

Think it had to be more, reaper is capable doing the same or higher dmg than this.

Reapers aren’t even registering on the OP scale atm.

Dragon Hunters, Druids, Scrappers, and Chrono bunkers are all laughing at them.

Oog god, there are still ppl who consider DHs OP? :>
