I don’t understand how people in your guild are legendary and diamond and your not. Don’t you group with any of them regularly? Blowouts are not an indication of anything there were tons of them last year in Diamond and above. Things tend to snowball in conquest. Even if you have somehow been very unlucky why do you think whatever you think is the right way to do it wont cause some other subset to fall into some kind of hole through no fault of there own? I judge the system myself on the soundness of what is proposed and to me being matched with the people closest to you in MMR in a pip range and playing whoever is near you in the pip range sounds very sound to me. Also, claiming your MMR is bugged is totally dubious. Im not saying its not but where is the proof besides you saying it is?
Why the heck do I have to fight groups of five people when in solo queue? Happened the fourth time in ruby now.
Can you get your kitten together, Anet, and start making different queues? One for solo and one for groups.
It’s kittening annoying to get a default loss, because 1-2 of your team leave at the start because they see 5 people with same guild tag on the other side.
And while you are at it, start banning people leaving matches finally (or being afk)
You leave once (a day): 1 hour ban from pvp activity.
You leave twice: 1 week ban from pvp activity
… continue as pleased

First bold sentence, post a picture or a post from someone who experienced those blowouts or it didn’t happen.
Second bold statement:
Beginning with Season 2, matchmaking for Ranked matches will use your placement in your current league division as your primary matchmaking consideration and pair you against players who are placed in the same point range as you, regardless of the skill level (MMR) of the other people in that point range. While we’ll be using divisions to match you against your immediate opponents, we’ll still use your MMR to place you on teams with similarly skilled players (from your division point range) to help ensure that you’re not forced to play with individuals that are of a much higher or lower skill than you. Ultimately, this means that the new matchmaking changes will make PvP Leagues much more reflective of your actual skill, and each division will be progressively more difficult to compete in.
Hence a 5 can be march against a 2. Let’s say there are 10 players in the diamond division with the respective MMR (15 pip apart): 1000 1000 1600 1500 1000 500 420 320 400 600.
It doesn’t take a brain to know that the system will group the 500 together against the 1000. I mean if you see nothing wrong with that, then we have nothing to discuss.
Another blaming matchmaking and qq’s when they don’t have an easy ride to legend.
How refreshing.
I’m not saying Im pro and I should be legend.
kitten Legend actually because it doesnt reflect skill after all.
All I ask is for balanced matchmaking, doesnt matter if I lose or win.
Aslong its not a 300 point difference where most AFK the first 3-5 mins already so nothing can be learned from it, except matchmaking is not working as it should be.
Denied | 5.9k PvP Games | PvP Rank: 236 | 8.6k hours | 9 Legendaries | Still Bad.
Diamond is not any better anyway And legend people have 1 hour queu times. Matchmaking is broken in all divisions. I stopped trying at diamond and im now playing random builds that I made up myself.

That’s good then you are not like most people whining.
Afker’s can go to kitten and the matchmaking has gotten better in diamond atleast but its still a game of who can carry hardest.
Unless they rework the entire system and puts only MMR this is how its going to be, people have different roads to divisions with different mmr ranges playing at different times of the day meeting different people.
Just try to make the best of it and encourage you’re team to win in a friendly manner and you will notice difference and take breaks during losing streaks because tilting does happen…
And some games there’s just people you can’t carry and that’s just how it is in a team oriented game, same kitten when I played Dota.

take a break for at least 24 hrs. I was stuck in SAPPHIRE t2 for weeks. Took a break and win streaked into Ruby t5 in no time. match making is screwed up . I played 80+ matches to get out of sapphire t2 and less than 20 matches ruby t2-t5.
I don’t get how I can get stuck for so long in lower div then have pretty much 3-5 win streaks broken by 1-2 loses after taking a break.

The majority of people complaining about the matchmaking in S2 do not think they should be in the legendary division.

If you are that good as you lie to yourself you are, why not just party up with your guildies who are obviously very good from what you say. Welcome to soloplay.
Day 16 in Ruby while the rest of my guild is in Diamond or Legendary.
I play every single day atleast 10 matches.
70% of my matches are blowouts.
My MMR is bugged due the matchmaking giving me not equal skilled teammates and lost so many games..
But instead of fixing asap, lets have some more PvE’rs farm their way easily into Ruby, shall we?
But no, lets keep ppl
Could you post your 70% blowout matches? Since I’ve hit Ruby I had 2. Surely I must be lucky and the other people genuinely have 3 bad team mates, 1 afk per match and are facing a Pro ESL smurf premade each time.
