Guild Wars 2

just wondering because i was hanging around heart of the mists earlier today (weird I know because we can que from anywhere) and noticed a few sapphires and rubys hanging around the test dummys (yes I know the ranks don’t have much to do with actual skill) and when I finally get in the ranked game…I had 2 sapphires and one ruby on my team. I was legendaryx2 last season. anyways we proceed to lose the match horribly. I’m playing druid and winning 1vs2s and sustaining a bunch of 1vs3s and I look at the map and where I’m not at…we don’t have points and my team is losing fights that they greatly outnumber.
why I’m I being matched with sapphires. and if I am tanking my mmr because of being teamed with lower ranks then this needs to be changed. if its not affecting my ranked mmr then I’m fine.

I think Ranked Match currently is a lie. I was legendary s3. but I noticed I got teamed up with sapphire on a ranked match. I would make a thread about this but I’m too lazy to complain again. I think the off season ranked match still works like unranked match but you won’t get beta map like capricorn etc, which I think the reason they open ranked match.

Made it to mid Ruby last season (my first season, started with like a week to go).

Over half the people that end up on my team have literally less than 20 pvp games played, most don’t know the core mechanics of their classes, and in general it’s a cluster.

I would very much like “fun” games where there’s some actual competition, I’m getting sick of 500-100 wins interspersed with 100-500 losses.

I’m also getting sick of cheese-build druids who use their super-knockback then run like a scared kitten til it’s off cooldown. They rarely manage to kill anyone without a +2 but they make holding a point nearly impossible.

It is druid sustain that lets them do that.

This is a Summery of what I have observed in-game.

I swear I mostly say what allot of players are dealing with as I feel well set in this meta. Allot of players hate DH damage. Allot of players hate druid sustain. Allot of players hate facing scrapper just evading and stealthing. Allot of players hate these perma evade vault thief. Allot of players hate Condi chrono. Allot of players hate condi warrior. The only people that yell on forums supporting the specs are the people who don’t want their classes nerfed because if they don’t play these specs they don’t support them. Rev. really isn’t bad right now but some players even hate their high damage. Ask anyone in game and they will have these on their list of class/builds they hate fighting.
