Guild Wars 2

i know i wont be getting any win streak bonus but why not improve it for those who can? so they can graduate out of amber / emerald / sapphire / ruby faster and duke it out with one another in diamond / legendary

currently, win streak bonus is

1st win = 1 pip
2nd win = 1 pip (2 total pips)
3rd win = 1 + 1 pips (4 total pips)
4th win = 1 + 1 pips (6 total pips)
5th win = 1 + 1 pips (8 total pips)
6th win = 1 + 1 pips (10 total pips)
7th win = 1 + 1 pips (12 total pips)
8th win = 1 + 1 pips (14 total pips)
9th win = 1 + 1 pips (16 total pips, graduate from 15/15 amber, 1/20 emerald)
…
100th win = 1 + 1 pips

too stale. too slow.
it takes pros 9 wins in a row to graduate from amber.
lets spice that up shall we ?

what if, the win streak bonus keeps on increasing and never stops?

proposed:

1st win = 1 pip
2nd win = 1 + 1 pips (3 total pips)
3rd win = 1 + 2 pips (6 total pips)
4th win = 1 + 3 pips (10 total pips)
5th win = 1 + 4 pips (15 total pips, graduate from 15/15 amber, 0/20 emerald)
6th win = 1 + 5 pips (21 total pips)
7th win = 1 + 6 pips (28 total pips)
8th win = 1 + 7 pips (36 total pips, graduate from 20/20 emerald, 1/25 sapphire)
9th win = 1 + 8 pips (44 total pips)
10th win = 1 + 9 pips (54 total pips)
11th win = 1 + 10 pips (65 total pips, graduate from 25/25 sapphire, 5/30 ruby)
12th win = 1 + 11 pips (77 total pips)
13th win = 1 + 12 pips (90 total pips, graduate from 30/30 ruby, 0/35 diamond)
14th win = 1 + 13 pips (104 total pips)
15th win = 1 + 14 pips (119 total pips)
16th win = 1 + 15 pips (135 total pips, graduate from 35/35 diamond, 10/25 legendary)

basically, real good legendary players would be back in legendary after 16 straight wins, where they belong, and will continue to rake in those pips that they deserved.

the current win streak system is too slow, average players are unnecessarily butchered and fed to them in order for them to climb out of the lower divisions, it takes too long.

improve the win streak bonus drastically so that they go back into the divisions where they really belong.

discuss !

No.

Let’s not.

Ohoni.6057:

No.

Let’s not.

why not?

we don’t want those super high MMR players staying in the low divisions for far too long.

this will help them get back into the divisions they belong.

No, they just shouldn’t be getting paired together against pushovers and getting win streaks like they are. The streaks are the problem.

I wouldn’t mind a second tier of winstreak bonus. Stomp pubs, power through never hurt anyone.

In addition to
3 wins+ = 2 pips per game
5+ wins = 3 pips per game

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

why not?

Ohoni never wins so it wouldn’t do anything for him :^)

5th win = 3 + 4 pips (19 total pips, graduate from 15/15 amber, 4/20 emerald)
6th win = 3 + 5 pips (27 total pips)
7th win = 3 + 6 pips (36 total pips, graduate from 20/20 emerald, 1/25 sapphire)
8th win = 3 + 7 pips (46 total pips, graduate from 20/20 emerald, 1/25 sapphire)
9th win = 3 + 8 pips (57 total pips)
10th win = 3 + 9 pips (69 total pips, graduate from 25/25 sapphire, 9/30 ruby)

15th win = 3 + 14 pips (144 total pips)
16th win = 3 + 15 pips (162 total pips, graduate from 25/25 legend x1, 12/25 legend x2)

yes ?

Nah if you have an increase for every game you’ll have people paying off the other team to get their wins to hit instalegend.

but what are the odds of the other team agreeing to being paid ?

and what’s stopping them from receiving the monies and still steam rolling them ?

You are over-exaggerating the number of pros. And the ones that exist are probably ruby and above by now easily. The win bonus that exists right now is fine. What everyone underestimated was the number of awful players that were propped up by getting higher mmr teammates from time to time and the stupid 50/50 encouraging matchmaking. There are a lot of bads. I would say Im probably around a 90% percentile player with is good not great and Im winning like 85% of my games and thats because there are tons of awful players not because Im great.

I am lol’ing so hard. OP wants lose streak bonuses removed and win streak bonuses increased.

I’m in Ruby Division now, but I wouldn’t exactly say easily or call myself a pro.

I would say the pros are in Diamond Division and above by now easily.

Is it too late for pip booster through gemstore?

actually i’m thinking about a pip protector or pip guard. but that would be for season 3 and another new topic.

be right back.

making new topic.

They are somewhere in Ruby and Diamond easily because they farm people with premades for easy wins and fastest way to get legendary. If you are true solo player and you got all the way to somewhere in ruby im sure you are atleast have to be med-high/high skilled atm. so you are probably not a bad player then. When good players leave ruby it may become a division for med skilled peoples. I said that you are about med-high/high skilled because ruby atm full with players in that skill range.

i’m still in amber actually. i think 7/15 amber.
don’t have much time to play ranked.

can only spare around 3 – 4 games during the day time on mondays till fridays.

this proposal will not benefit me of course since i cannot get any win streaks, but it would get the better players out of my division fast so i can duke it out with other average players!

It could work but I don’t think exponential increase is a good idea.
Why not
+ 1
+ 1
+ 1 + 1
+ 1 + 2 thereafter until losing match.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

it takes pros 9 wins in a row to graduate from amber.

that assumption is incorrect
im not a pro to be honest

but i still miss the previous matchmaking mode than the current one, i dont wanna get win streak this way, feels like something is wrong

last season i grinded pvp from one div to another for a week but the 2nd season ive done it within an hour……..

hi hi everyone.
it has been a while.
i am finally in ruby division now.

and the discussion continues !

they should improve the win streak bonus !

let me guess you are in ruby now!

Really they shouldn’t, streaks are just setting you up for a streak in the other direction as your pips rise faster than your MMR does unless you entered the season with an MMR far from the average.
