Unranked used to be decent. People who knew pvp but without the pressures of ranked. Now every new person is joining unranked and it’s making me feel totally frustrated. It’s not the place to teach people the basics of how points are scored and where to fight…

I don’t understand the rational for unranked now. It’s just the default new spot?

The only thing hotjoin teaches you is how to abuse autobalance.

They did not take away hotjoin just the practice button, which took you to hotjoin.
It’s still in the normal server select screen.

To throw noobs in the deep end, and to force vets into ranked.

I just won at least a dozen unranked matches in a row this morning. I know cause I always switch back and forth between unranked and ranked whenever I lose a match and today I never got to doing any ranked.

If you’re a good player you can easily win matches regardless of your team. And no I’m not a d/d ele or whatever the metas are. In my opinion metabattle.com uses some really terrible builds if you’re gonna just queue solo like me.

I think anet is trying to steer people into joining more serious fights. Because hotjoin, for all purposed it tries to serve, doesn’t really add much value to the pvp experience. People get in, people camp on winning team, losing team ragequit and try to autobl to the winning team. It’s cancerous.

Just like others have said, it’s meant to impose more serious play on noobs/newbs and force vets into ranked, which I don’t mind, honestly. Ranked feels much better with significantly less sight of complete noobs that don’t even know how to strafe.

Now, we just need dishonor back.
