Was there a patch that broke MMR?
It’s the thief, engineer and warrior daily coming almost every day. Most of them suck.
Thief daily = 50% of the thieves logged on will be playing P/P or D/D or both.
Mesmer daily isn’t so bad because people stay away from that class if they’re bad, Elementalist means all hail d/d cele, still ok to be on your team even if they suck, cos its ez to play with face on keyboard and its party support.
Engineer either means AIDS AIDS AIDS or nubs who can’t toss nades for kitten.
Others are meh, but thief daily means gg whos got the least thieves wins.

I feel you man. I’m suffering from exactly same thing here. I’m wolf rank, yet today nearly every team i got matched with clearly didn’t have basic knowledge of our pvp map costing us defeat after deafeat. Imagine skyhammer where i held the cannon and enemy held all 3 points. Where is my team you ask? Engaging in some pointless skirmishes everywhere but capture points.
In temple of silent storm the only guy on my side to show up on the spot when tranquility and stillness spawned was me. List goes on…
Yes it’s really nice everybody came to vent their frustration about pvp dailies and broken leaderboards.
But my point was that this is a recent thing. Like the past 4 days or so.
Since personal experience is not an unbiased source I was hoping for some less subjective information.
Specifically the first day of PAX was the worst PvP experience I’ve ever had. Even made a post about it.
Not sure if a patch broke the MMR system or (the more likely) the influx of players trying to take advantage of the buff really revealed the flaws of the system with a magnifying glass.

It’s not a recent thing at all.
They broke the system with the Dec patch, the number of decent players got drastically reduced because of broken matchup.
Things can only get worst
Terrible matches this past day and a half or so for me as well. Lots of people who didn’t know the game had a minimap, at least.
Dear ANET.
Did you break MMR?I get horrible matchups these past few days. Super bad players on both teams in ranked.
The team with less bads wins! But even if I win it doesn’t feel like a real win because it’s so RNG. I either have to win outnumbered fights constantly or just hope my team won’t die by the time I arrive. No fun!I don’t say I’m top player. I don’t say I’m even higher tier. But the people I get matched with are certainly way under me.
This is making me toxic. I’m glad there is no dishonor. I don’t want to be toxic.
Help.
it’s not only matchmaking even the class stacking it’s broken
but hey buy gems and continue to play the spvp beta leaderboard

The buff always seems to bring out the mouthbreathers. By the time their ratings begin to settle in, the buff is gone and the damage is done to regular pvpers. Some people in my guild simply avoid pvp until the buff is gone.
I suspected it was the buff thing too. But now the buff is gone yet the matches still suck.
Maybe they came for the buff but stayed for the farm! Not sure why they in ranked.
It should require a champion title achievement such as: “Champion Paragon” to be able to enter ranked matches. Doing something as simple as this would eliminate many problems and help better define the purpose of ranked matches to begin with.
I use the name Barbie on all of my characters.
Instead of crying on some forum noone reads anyway why don’t you spend time getting good instead ?
People nowadays..
What your seeing imo is that most long time solo queueing players are playing less then ever for a variety of reasons and they are being replaced by people new to spvp but who are nevertheless given average MMRs to start due to how the rating system works currently To make a simple example imagine your rating as 1-10 completely new players come in with a rating of 5 when in reality they are 1’s.

New players should always come in at 1. It’s hard to be worse than to have never played the game(type) before. Even if they are naturally more skilled than that, it’s better to have one slightly decent player teamed against bad players than teamed against experienced players. The skill level between them and experienced players will absolutely be greater. And the game experience for everyone involved is much worse the way it is now.

MMR is completely broken.
I am not a good pvp player and just play to complete basic achievements. Before this MMR system I had about 50% wins. Now, in 70% of time I got a team that is massacred. My win ratio is now about 20% or so.
