Guild Wars 2

I see people complaining about lose streaks on the forums, raging over necromancer’s class low skill cap and generally being negative about Anet’s attempts for going full e-sports and but don’t get me wrong, I do think necro’s been overtuned and stuck in last tier of sapphire myself with terrible 13 loses winstreak. Moreover, the only good friend that played this game quit 2 days ago and sold his account because he felt that offended by the matchmaking. But whatever.
What I wanted to say is each time I come into this forum subsection, after another depressing game with teammates that litterally make my hands weaken out of hopelessness of the situations they cause, I actually start feeling better reading those posts of people kittened off by class balancing or matchmaking so yeah, please keep on

How everyone else’s GW2 time going?

You know wha ? Neither I’m going with fantastic win streak nor I have depressing lose streak – most of my matches were quite close and competetive and consequently enjoyable. Most of them. And no, I’m not running necromancer.

But I can feel the difference between unranked and ranked games.
So thanks Anet for this PvP league season.

Most I lost ina row so far is two so I never got to experience the losing streak pips. :[
Seeing 4-7 Necros every game gets old but the Meta is still better than the first league’s. People just need to look up or even play the Meta themselves and build a way to counter it on other classes since it’s going to be in the majority of their games.

So far what really annoys me most currently though is Engineers and their annoying parade of revives.

Went from amber straight into sapphire with no loses. Got 2 pips into sapphire. Been losing ever since. If i was losing tiers, i’d probably go back into amber #1 xD

I was angry, but decided i’ll just laugh it off. No point in raging about matchmaking system that matches me with bunch of slayers against team of primordial legends that do ressurects and do cleaves on corpses and actually assist each other on targets. And that’s just for the teamfights. Regularly I’d switch my thief to scrapper when there are 2 or more dragon hunters in order to disable them … tanking 3 or 4 enemies at mid for at least 2 minutes and to die a moment later noticing that the enemy team has the side caps just makes me cri.

That among other things like getting 5+ condis with at least 10 stacks on each in just a blink of an eye just makes the game less desirable. You cleanse those and you blink again and another necro has given you the cancer. Your teammates cleanse you, you blink again and what a surprise … instant condi stacking again. So these days when I get the cancer (aka 5+ condis with 10+ stacks each) i just leave my keyboard and mouse. Those condis are perfectly capable of obliterating my HP bar even without any other power based attacks.

Fun fun fun i guess

Wouldn’t it be fun if my glass thief was able to 1-shot other people that were dumb enough not to dodge my backstab? Just like those condi spammers seem to be doing.

Out of all this rant, one thing is pretty clear and idk why ANet isn’t doing it. Each meta has one build that is more effective than others. Everytime. And that’s okay actually. But when that happens, and it clearly is happening, could you remove that said class from the daily rotation? Yesterday was hell, I was fighting against 3 or 4 reapers, mostly bandwagoners who were just pressing all the keys available. I mean if I had unlimited dodges I’d probably evade all of them, but on the largest mid point at legace of foefire, those 3-4 necros fill every pixel of that point with marks/traps and they have full set of signets to go about. Pair those reapers with dragonhunter meditrappers and you have a good source of permanent CC and condi spam.

Sometimes its so bad … i can’t break free for over 10 seconds, using stun breakers and stability doesn’t seem to help, at all. And I’d only get to 10 seconds if I’m not being actively focused, but the amount of AoE burst you get in 10 seconds is so much, you are happy to be alive and if you don’t run the f#@$ away you’d die.

tl;dr -Remove necro from daily achievements for the time being. Reaper isn’t a bad class, but stackin the reaper makes the game like cancer.

I’ve had some better games this morning. quite a few close one’s, they where great fun. then the complete one sided matches started. You crush them, or get crushed. makes for very boarding games, that no one really enjoys.
