Guild Wars 2

Personally if it wasn’t for the exclusive rewards, I don’t know any reason to keep trying to get a legendary rank.

Just a little heads up for people in diamond and ruby that believe in legendary division being much better in terms of sPvP experience.

PS. I apologize for my poor quality “Windows Paint” job.

The problem is that it’s perfectly possible to grind your way to legendary with a flat 50% win ratio (or even less) just by playing lots of games. You can gain 2 pips from win streaks and losing streaks but there’s no way to lose 2 pips. This means that legendary is going to be full of people with ~50% win rate who simply have a huge amount of time on their hands.

I had more difficult games in diamond than legend, most people in legend don’t care anymore and just muck around or do dailies.

I have actually found legendary games to be more interesting and less frustrating than climbing the season divisions.

I had an amazing match where I 1v1d against zoosie (Pro league player)- he was honestly god like on his engineer ! My team lost but we were holding out at about 270 each – until our team messed up our rotations and lost 500v 280 or something. It was 270v271 at some point (or there abouts).

Blow outs still happen but it’s way more fun – less stressful as you’re no longer worrying so much about progression.

That is ANET logic for ya. Lets pander to the low skill level so everyone can be legendary making its rank as useless as the rank emotion they destroyed few years back.

Let me real ANET doesn’t know what the **** they are doing. Balance, features or anything pvp related for that matter. God kitten what I wouldn’t give for GW1 HoH days again.

So you are complaining anyone can get into legendary?
Then why are so many people stuck in Diamond/Ruby/Saphire ?

It took a lot more skill this season to get into legendary than last season.
Last season you could smurf so badly and get into legendary.

This season has definitely been an improvement on the last.
Teaming with ambers and diamonds for easy wins last season something was wrong.

Well, im not stuck anywhere yet, but im not trying to progress either. Im climbing with my 3 matches a day still in diamond. Reason for this is, for once in a very long time, i enjoy matches in pvp again, thanks to diamond. People dont die in 1 second, people have most of the time map awareness, the end scores are normally very close between the teams. Best of all, people dont eat all my skills i throw at them which actually make me focus and play much better. I do wish they wouldnt close off ranked when season stops tho, the idea of even going back to unranked now…just no.

That’s somewhat similar to the diamond games I have gone through, especially at the last tier. 2 of my deciding games were extra close 502-496 and 500-490, and I do remember making couple “trivial” mistakes that caused us to lose both games.

On the other hand the quality of games is more or less consistent in my case throughout all division progress, usually where more “talkative” people end up losing games because they’re busy with pointing out someone else mistakes.

Also it’s not that much of a complaint rather than information for those claiming legendary rank being full of pros and qq-free sPvP experience.
