Guild Wars 2

What does it matter, I have over 6k matches and won around 50%, what does that mean?

Not very much considering so many top players log before a loss anyway, I know of at least 1 player world champion player sponsored by esl, etc who constantly logs before a loss. So what does it really matter?

W/L rate, if you ask me is just to measure how good a person is as to manipulate their record.

Now a W/L rate that counted the relog as losses would be accurate, that would be a more accurate determination of how skilled a player is.

Pretty sure if you leave a match before it’s over, it counts as a loss…

No, only if you leave for more than 2 minutes. You can even change classes mid game without getting dishonor.

You took this out of context. OP is saying that people leave before a loss, but leaving before a loss still counts as a loss (except for hotjoin but that doesn’t count).

If I remember correctly, logging out just before match ends results in a desertion in account history, not a loss. It is a loss concerning your pips, if you are longer than 2 minutes logged out.

Not quite sure why someone would prefer to have a high desertion rate instead of loss rate, but well…

I think mmr is downadjusted no matter what. But maybe thats the actual goal? Dunno. Never seen someone log out just before a loss… only ragequit in the middle of a match.
