Your matchmaking sucks
>>>>>>>>>>>>>salt<<<<<<<<<<<<
It’s been bad for me the last few days as well, but you know what? If the population isn’t there, there is nothing they can do.
The population is low, queue times are long, no one is playing ATM.
It’s probably going to be bad until hot launches and the new lb comes out.

Hi
Title says it all. Was way better before. Now i get teamed up with new players who dont know what pvp is. I have two accounts and on my other account i got teamed up with tier 1 people when im rank 15 on that account. Its so broken…Your system isnt working. I get lose streaks on my r80 account because my team sometimes cant kill anything or dont know how capping nodes work. So if im in a team i get maybe another which is r80 and the rest is like r5 and the opposite team is usually godlike who can ping pong you back and forth the whole map until you die. Sometimes im vs 2 people and i kill both alone while my team get rekt over and over. Getting teamed vs a full guild pre-made isnt fun either which happens so often. When your new system arrive it wont work as intended either because nothing you ever implement ever works. How is this fair to me, when i often can kill 2 players vs me, and still, my team cant cap 2 nodes while i have 2 people on me solo? Which eventually lead to lose streaks. Explain how this is fun to me? Explain how this will make me want to enter ranked? Even unranked has better players than ranked.
Ive tested your stupid system for the lolz the past 2 weeks. Entered with both guildies & duo & trio. Trio is the only thing that works so far because if i enter duo or solo i only get new pvp’ers that you anet think that i can carry…Obviously im a god…

SoloQ needs to come back. I’m kittening tired of having to play against premades all day every day. It doesnt matter if it’s a 3+2 / 2+2+1/ 4+1 or a full premade, these matches are blowouts and a waste of time.
Anti Class stacking seems to be gone aswell recently. 4 Eles vs 3 Thieves 2 Mesmers – whats up with that bullkitten? This matchmaking is beyond garbage, I’m forced to fight an uphill battle when I que solo. Whoever thought that this would be a good idea is a dog.
Stop evening out the team MMR by putting veterans in the same team with scrubs.

This is a negative side effect of them getting rid of solo queue and trying to reinvent the matchmaking wheel.
What’s kind of perplexing is that Josh Davis said that they think that solo queue is not the direction they want to go in but the player base wants it more than they realize.
PvP is struggling and one of the reasons why matchmaking is terrible is that there’s not a lot of players PvPing. With less of a pool to match make you against, you’re going to have disparities between player skills because otherwise, people would never get games.
There’s quite a bit of work that ANet needs to do with PvP to get players back in, get new players, and more importantly, have staying power.
A little bit of market research on their end will tell them where PvP is going and not just from their design sessions internally.
Even from these forums, the majority (my general observation) of what I read is as follows:
1) Solo queue and team queue
2) 2v2/3v3/5v5 (pick two)
3) Different game modes that rotate
Ultimately, it all starts with ANet listening to their client base, doing just a little bit of market research, and stop trying to reinvent the proverbial wheel.
I post from a phone so please excuse any references to ducks or any other auto corrections.
Yes, matchmaking is horrible. That’s pretty obvious. It’s sad that the current system is worse than the previous one.
The issue is that they have leagues coming. If they don’t have a solo queue league, it is going to be very boring, very quickly, for a majority of the players.
