Guild Wars 2

Q times baby. I’m sure Evan can see legendary q times but for those who aren’t informed they usually pop around 5:30 to 5:45 sometimes up to around 7. The average q time as I write this is 57s but is sometimes at 1:30 or so. Let’s just say legend q times are about 4 mins longer than the average q time.

Here are my past 10 games including duration of games:

Average time is 10:37 or just 10:30

We’re just gonna assume legend and average game times are about the same.
Qtime + gametime for legend: 16min
Qtime + gametime for nonlegend: 11:30 min

You get 10 pips a win and almost always have a top stat for a +1, while legend gets +4 extra pips; therefore:

Legend: 15 pips/16 min = 56.25 pips an hour
Non legend: 11 pips/11.5 min = 57.39 pips an hour

Ofc this assumes you’re winning your games. You could also argue that the very best players win way more than the less skilled players, but that was the case in previous seasons as well. This is to show that legendary players aren’t getting enough pips to actually say they’re getting more than non-legendaries.

pls fix

Yeah, I think lower divisions should earn less pips/hour I already made a post on this issue.

It was a design decision that rewards are completely disconnected from League placement….. so there is that

Give it some time. As more people get settled into the proper MMR the queue times for the legendary players should decrease a bit. Besides, the people with lower MMR are more likely to lose more games than a legendary player, which would make their realistic pips/hr lower than that of a legendary player

I think q times will increase actually. Later in the season there will be less hype and less players online.

I disagree with this. I think that the overall community mmr will go up so there will be more players for example above 1800+ than there are now in about a week. The only way the top can go up in this system is if the bottom goes up.

Far from that long queus, normally 2-3 min
