Guild Wars 2

if you kept on losing and
you feel like are stuck in amber

it probably means your MMR is low / average and is grouped together with similar players.

don’t duo queue with a friend, you can’t carry 3 other low MMR players
or
tri queue with 2 friends, the 2 low MMR players might feed the other team

instead, try quad queuing with 3 other friends, you may get to find duo queues plus three solo queuers. i had two games with a friend, we tried duo queuing for 2 games. our 2nd game, we got matched with a 4 man group plus one solo queuer. our group is duo queue (me and my friend) plus three other solo queuers.

you can carry that one low MMR player.

don’t try to full 5 man queue since you will never fight 5 solo queuers. unless all 5 of you are very good and certain can rekt others easily.

but of course, you, yourself and all your three other friends need to be able to win most 1 v 1 battles and not die too quickly in team fights. and will need to be able to rotate properly of course.

try finding for potential team members in those 1 v 1 custom arenas.

Or Join MISTCORE if you got enough games in you.
