Guild Wars 2

I’ll keep this brief.

I have yet to see a match where one team isn’t filled completely with a premade guild team.

These teams get paired against pugs.

Obviously pugs autolose.

No, and no? 5 man guild teams actually aren’t that common, at least at my ranking. And if you’re high enough ranking that level of coordination is the best way to play the game anyways. There are plenty of times that pug teams I’m on stomp guild groups. It’s actually really funny to watch them lose.

If you give up every match because you see a guild team you will autolose.

I seem to come across them all the time these days and it’s incredibly frustrating.

This shouldn’t happen. Have a team arena for premades and solo arena for pugs, that way it will be fair.

Get more friends. It seems simple.

You’re forgetting something or may not know this:

If a SoloQ team is facing a premade team (lets say 4-5 full premade), then this premade will 80-90% of the case will have MUCH lower rating than your team.

Most SoloQ’ers actually win vs Guild premades you speak off, not because you’re good, but because matchmaking letting you win by giving you less good opponents.

The opposite is the same; when full premade is facing full SoloQ’ers, mostly those SoloQ’ers will have a better rating.

Anet made it so that when SoloQ Team is facing premade, it picks a premade with much less rating.

And I say ‘much’ because if it would just be a little different, premades wouldn’t lose with TeamSpeak (with a big difference like 100-200points). Obviously it’s mostly the premades losing, which just indicates the difference of rating is too much.

I lost many matches with premades and didn’t understand why.. Now I finally do and just waiting untill they adjust that difference.

TL;DR: Matchmaking gives premades much higher rated SoloQ’ers to fight against and mostly ends up losing vs SoloQ’ers.

PS: If you (almost) always win vs SoloQ’ers with YOUR premade, that’s because there aren’t enough players queue’ing at the same time for matchmaking to do it’s work properly.

Just because someone is in a guild group doesn’t mean they are on teamspeak. Just because you see multiple people from one guild doesn’t mean they even grouped together. I have solo queued and ended up with 2 guildies on the team. That was awkward.

I just played a premade team. One of them said they were practicing for something and they told us to “try hard”.

Of course it was foe fire and they just overwhelmed us with team speak. I couldn’t tell if any of them were good as there wasn’t any fair fights. We started fighting a 2 on 2 at home and a couple seconds in their whole team turned it into a 2v5 which turned into 3v5 just as they were finishing me off.

After that we were on spawn timers and they used voice chat to group on us before we all spawned. Every time I got to a point with one defender at least two more swarmed the point and they never even tried for the lord as that would give us a chance to regroup.

I was thinking to myself that this couldn’t even be considered practice for them as I don’t think they did anything other then zerging.

Maybe instead of creating a soloQ, Anet needs to make a full team que. That way teams could get better and soloQs don’t get farmed for their enjoyment.

What bothers me is how effective premades are in this game compared to other PvP games. Stacks in MOBAs can be a pain but not to the point where winning becomes impossible.
