Guild Wars 2

For matchmaking purposes. Why when you start pvp don’t you start out with a rating value that pretty much approximates zero meaning the lowest rating you can have? The better players will quickly move well past that rating and the really bad players will be with the other really bad players. It seems to me that the way it is now is everyone starts out with about an average rating and as long as you not winning like only 25% of your games or some ridiculous bad amount it doesn’t degrade all thatquickly/ much at all allowing you to frequently be a poison pill in matches involving much better players for a very long time/indefinitely.

The problem is simple, if there are 4 bad players, it doesn’t matter how well you play, you always lose – but if you are in a team with 4 decent players, you can either improce or decrease the outcome of the match – therefore show where you belong….

…besides, do you want that the new players start to learn from the bad players instead of the average ones?

I started off in hot join and I learned the basics pretty quickly, like dont double cap, and use your heal at 75% hp instead of 25%. The average person picks that up pretty quickly unless they are little kids without a logical thought process.

And terms like good, bad, and decent are all relative. If I were sapphire I would be a god in amber div.
