Guild Wars 2

For me it’s one of two things:

1) The matchmaker screws up and I end up on a team of total newbies (as in this is their first or second match ever) against either a premade or a team of solo players who all have “Champion [class]” or “Legendary Champion” titles. It was kind of funny the first time, less so the fifth in a row.

2) I end up on a team of people who are completely unable to have fun on a map and they spend the entire time screaming bloody murder at anyone who wants to do something other than rush mid and die repeatedly.

Since I pretty much only play unranked, the second one baffles me. If you want to be super serious about your spvp, why not play ranked? Why get angry enough to bust an artery at people who just want to have fun? I don’t like losing either, but I’m fine with it if it was a good match. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to have fun in a video game.

When I solo queue and face a partial premade or full premade with a full pug… It’s always a landslide victory. I check teams to see if join party is an option and notice 4 friends and 1 random on their side and our side is all randoms why is this even a thing

How can you tell it’s a four-man party and not two two-man party? Cause that’s common.

Does it really matter when our side is full randoms?

When my expectations of this game having a fluid combat system, then I blink and remember this isn’t Guild Wars 1 anymore.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s possible in LoL where you can duo queue in soloQ.

The Dc because Anet servers lag out and then losing all my points pff

Not enough build variety. Realizing there is only one best build for each class makes me feel like I have nothing unique to do; so I quit for a while till I forget the builds I was using while praying for an expansion, change, or creative new game.

Well, yeah… Naturally you can end up against a pair of players. The MM wants to give you the best possible match in the least possible time. So it balances the global MMR of teams taking into account the number of premades. So, if your match is a 11111v122 and the individual MMR of the second team is lower on average, the MM will consider it a good match. You don’t think that duo queuing gives you a tremendous advantage, do you? It gives you a slight advantage that can be compensated by player skill.

That’s only true in tournament. On average/good level, you can do just fine with less optimal builds. Why don’t you give a try to something original once and see how it goes?

Crowd control, Passive mechanics, Easy builds.

well its fine if you lose because your team decided far is a really good option from the very start and ignores home and mid occasionally… but when you lose 7 games in a row because people do the same thing in each game…

3-4 run far mid gets taken home gets outnumbered they leave far lose far bring in the snowball!!

it becomes really hard not to express your opinions…

True story. Did this In LoL where their soloq is vastly similar.

Until you get to highest levels of play, nothing really matters, as long as you’re a competent player.

Took adc ahri, and ap yasuo and ap hec to gold for giggles. Won’t fly in high plat/diamond, but it still worked to be in a rank better than 90% of the playerbase.

also all those complaining about ranked, soloq is a mentality. You cant change other players. Climbing soloq in any competitive game is about learning how to be a better player and advancing. YOU are the only variable you can change with 100% certainty.

What makes you log in when you know you will be kittened off by the game as always?

Work.

/15characters

I log after getting a good win that makes me feel good about logging off. If I lost a match, I play another to get that good win. This can go on for another match or two-three, but at least it gives me a good feeling when I log out and I want to play more the next time.

Bugged skills like: tp wurm,channeling skills while you are turned back to the enemy. And falling damage outta nowhere

I alt f4 anytime skyhammer comes up.
