Its actually really bad. I would not mind having to queue a few minutes longer so that I can have a proper game. A game where I have 4 mesmers in my team and lose beyond belief, is actually going to discouraging me from even playing PvP at all.
This is the game I had just now, we lost with more than 400 points.
The thing that there are as many people saying that class stacking is an easy win as people saying it is a mandatory loss. One should conclude that it is maybe not THE deciding factor, at least for division < Legend.
Expect to see a lot more warriors. They have virtual immunity to conditions now for long periods of time and dish out huge condi damage. We may see a return to the days of 5 warrior teams ( HamBow then ) rolling over everything in sight.
Apparently the latest attempt to “shake up the meta” is to super power warriors.

Some stacking is good, like two eles can be, but 2-3 mesmers, 2-3 thieves or 3 guards is in my experience a sure loss. Especially more than 2 of a class is most often a sure loss. Too little cooperation between classes to cover for each others downsides.
Well now that I think about it…IF someone logs on as some other character if there are less of x classes playing how can you…match making would be impossible.
I exclusively play mesmer/choronomancer (It is the ONLY thing I found interesting about Gw2 No Mes=No Gw2)….look at the number of thieves that you see on average. I imagine it can’t be helped…especially with this “balance” we have some classes are being played more.
What can you do about it if there aren’t extra classes to match up from? Perhaps numbers are low in general?

Great, people will just stack Eles and Thieves to counter it.

Yeah too bad balancing team insists on some classes being really weak and other stupidly overtuned which is contra productive to class stacking.
They won’t implement anti class-stacking measures simply because it would kick up Q times. Essentially it’s “Screw balance, we need to make it look like the gamemode is populated.”

I think players shoulnt be able to rerrol , then yes anet could make sure that there isnt more than 2 equal classes per team.
But then again ,the que times would go up, and i have already 7- 9 minutes ques.
I think the most important is to create macthes with players of the same skill lvl.
Class stacking is complete bs right now. Really needs to be locked at 2 of each class, max. Multiple 3-4 ele/engi/warr games, all the kittening time.
Or just stick everyone that’s in the game into a class picker before starting. You queue on any class/char. Game pops, you get some time to pick the char you’re actually going to play, one at a time.
Ofc it wouldn’t be such a kittening issue if the game didn’t always have 1-2 ridiculously OP specs that only get better if you stack them.

Ele has no chance against a condi warrior. A evade spam thief can counter them though.
