You can’t just grind your way to legendary.

Yes you can. Even more than before.

I can’t belive you even responded to him. His post show he has no idea how the system works. This is the get to legenary season, more than half of the populace had a shot at legebdary this season. High MMR with meta class = garantee legendary. .

Last season wasn’t more prestigious, that can be seen plainly by the type of play used there, the reason the games were closer was the stupid bunker meta where you could stand on a point for half the game preventing capture.
When the meta became more burst damage oriented true skill COULD be shown. Any pve pleb can maintain sustain rotations with last seasons meta, now you play good or you die (: ~ regardless of unfair matchmaking and what not.
This season the main claim for it not being prestigious is the grind, which doesnt really apply post ruby,whereas the meta applies in all divisions.

As a player who has reached legendary both seasons strictly solo queue… season 2 was much, much, MUCH easier to obtain Legendary than season 1. Say what you want season 1 being a grind but what people in this age fail(mainly due to the fact that 99% of the population is spoiled) to realize is that in order to achieve something you must put -TIME- in it. Season 1 being a time consumer only justifies it requiring more work and effort. It takes more skill to break a 50/50 win rate and move up displaying resiliency and personal will than to steamroll your games without even a second thought.

Time=more games. More games=experience.

So what is more “prestigious”?

Something that requires time, work effort and skill or something that can be obtained without even breaking a sweat?

Pretty much this … Let’s not forget this title can be obtained in 22 hours, 3 days – 1 week seems to be the norm..

Not true. Last season was really easy to grind because game always made sure you have 50% win rate. This season is different story. Not saying that leagues are not grind fest but definitely less so this time. I also would say that wast majority of players reside in ruby kek.

As far as “prestigious” goes: there is Pro league, guys. Only very few get there. Want to show off with your sword… fencing, go there.

Oh and btw, it is good there are so many players in legendary division other we would have 1 hour queues there. No, ty.

Imo sorry but S1 has more prestige than this joke. And yes im legend whatever it means.
Theres only 1 thing that took a bit of glory from s1 and that was amber frands. If you made it to legendary by soloq in s1 you can be proud of yourself.

I reached Legendary this season just because it was a lot more enjoyable to play matches, though last season I aimed for Ruby just because the meta and all the gd loop holes in season 1, kinda just made me not want to go beyond that. Not worth the headache..

-Bunker meta
-People from higher divisions teaming up with ambers and emeralds to get easier games
-Facing full premades in solo queue
-MMR tanking

Their pvp system isn’t so much a ladder as it is an escalator. You’re always favoured to gain pips (due to loss breaking streaks) so everyone gets pushed up to legend making it redundant to segregate tiers.

It’s absolutely laughable anyone thinks there’s “prestige” in a video game.

A-Net you’ve made legendary rank a joke. Please consider shortening the seasons as players can’t just brute force their way up the ranks.

It’s better than last season. At least they are making progress. You can’t just grind your way to legendary.

Nope instead some people got hand fed divisions including alot of pvers who had no experience in pvp. Main reason I looked else where for my competitive pvp battle arena fix, because GW2 spvp has went the opposite road of competitive and fun. Maybe and this is a huge maybe I’ll buy GW3, but for now so many other games that separately do what GW2 was doing and now breaking away from. They just don’t do it in one package as GW2 once did.
