Guild Wars 2

e.g. matching 2 thieves against two glassbow rangers, or 2 medi guards against 2 thieves, or 2 thieves against two mesmers. crap like this doesn’t make for a fun game and encourages everyone to run safe builds, like cele, that can do everything. but this isn’t really a rant about cele.

in other words – why doesn’t matchmaker consider comps and hardcounters?

I haven’t seen a shred of evidence that shows the matchmaker distributing profs or specs evenly. it will literally give one team 4 rangers, while making the other side balanced. what gives? can anyone in charge of the broken matchmaker say a few words about this?

I agree class diversity should definitely be considered. It can happen if they want it to and (coming from a programmer) would be simplistic to write.

Hard Counters are build specific, though. The only thing they will be able to work from is the meta and if someone goes out of the meta, then the whole system is broken.

Matchmaking is horrible. Why has there been no fix? It is a complete embarrassment at this point.

There’s no way they can go by spec. That would be ridiculous. They could stop having 3 or 4 of a single profession per team by doing away with profession specific dailies.

What stops me from matchmaking as condi thief and swap build build once matched with anti-condi people which i should ez mode kill as burst thief?

It’s not done because one can easily take advantage of it. No matchmaking system is perfect. Unless its self-taught AI that does the matchmaking and knows the strengths and weaknesses of every player, matchmaking will bring complains from people that can’t adapt.

Even games that are 1on1 matchmake like Hearthstone have bad matchmaking. When I was starting the game, with only the basic cards I was matched against people with winged and bunch of secret cards…and that was at a point I had no idea i can arrange my deck. So that’s that.

I can say they should remove the profession dailies in order to stop, at some extent, this from happening.

I still like to remind that people has 2 minutes before the match starts to change builds, swap characters and agree on a general strategy. The fact people don’t take advantage of that is not matchamking fault.

I am fairly certain that the character swapping is not intended and is only working now due to the fix for dishonored not being in the live game yet.
