first day of school wtf
pvp at the moment is random at best, currently, silver, gold, platinum, says nothing about your skill, only your luck.
you can have a team of 5 invested players, or you can be the only invested player while all 4 others will run to the close capture point.
The problem is, people with zero, not a little, absolute zero experience with pvp are allowed to queue ranked and as a result, people who don’t even know the primal basics will influence your high ranks. Simultanously, you can extremely lucky, if you’re skill is silver to gold, but end up in a team with some plats, you can get carried in ways you’ve never imagined before

I’m one of those people with barely any understandment of what i should do half the time and way over my head in ranked. Started playing pvp on monday, did my placement matches on wednesday and ended up with 1442 rating in gold (with 60 games total played). During my last few placement matches and games after people were either flamming me or just telling me where to go cause i had no idea.

uh you mean, pvp since the beginning of the game is random at best.
…

except thats wrong. i dont play it anymore, but i thought they added rank 20 req… which is not zero, it is a little, it is absolutely some exp with pvp…
and if you think taking a pool of players, wut continues to get smaller and smaller due to dozens of reasons… and making that pool even smaller is a solution.. well, take it to the extreme.
what if the pool of players was 10, including you, of perfectly evenly balanced players, would that be perfect pvp for you?

I kinda wanna say it’s your fault for entering ranked without knowledge, but it’s kinda more anets fault for opening ranked for people who don’t know the basics.
It’s a start that we have 10 opening matches to kitten the average skill, but there’s a system I see in many MOBA games that I would to see here:
1. Play a tutorial
2. Play 25+ unranked missions
3. Ranked opens up
1. Don’t base it off your purple pvp level bar. The purple bar means nothing Playing GW 2 since launch I’m a 47 Tiger and I hardly touch pvp that much I got it all in unranked and custom arenas. I’m in no ways a terrible no experience player, but it is what it is! That 20 rank requirement is useless! It can be easily farmed with non stop play in half a season’s duration doing customs and trading wins. If its still required make it spvp lv 50.
2. You must play tutorials or get some sort of thing proving you can fight and beat the npc bots in the lobby (even if once) or be able to properly use all the devices like trebuchets. Make it an achievement or something that can be read when trying to enter ranked, no achievement = no rank entry.
3. Playing 25 or even 50 unranked matches should be a hard requirement. Make it an readable achievement on trying to click on Ranked play.
