Guild Wars 2

I was wondering how on earth do people get stats like “TheWalkingDead.7298 Therunningdead 18 wins, 1 loss” in solo queue?

Sometimes my team has 4 players or someone is afk, and its almost a guaranteed loss; or there are players on the team that just don’t know what to do and even if I win every fight, hold key points etc the team loses.

Is there some way to drop out of losing fights and not have it counted to your record? Can you queue solo with friends (I seem to remember queuing with 4 people before the leaderboards and picking up randoms when we didn’t have a full team)?

I really don’t understand how it is possible to get an 18 to one win/loss ratio just playing the game normally.

Then I recently read someone saying how it is easy to farm your way into the top 100. I don’t get it what’s the story with this solo leaderboard?

It just seems totally random to me, but then there are these guys with 18 to one stats so there must be something to it. I don’t think one player can single handedly guarantee a win 94% of the time, overcoming 4vs5s and teams with complete noobs on them etc.

Just sync Q with ur friends and stay on voice chat. Or maybe you can get lucky.
Took me less than 4 tries NA 19-1
3 tries on EU 19-2

P.S. 2 of the loses were from 4v5 :/ and on my 1st 2 EU matches I forgot to set traits after restting them, won the 1st game but not the 2nd :/

If you’re good enough, you can make up for even a couple of really bad teammates. Of course, most people have gotten at least one 4v5 but I don’t think they happen very often if you’re already a high rank.

So it’s not too hard to understand really: a ton of skill and a little luck will win you all or nearly all of your first 10 matches. At that point you’ll be quite high on the leaderboards already and will have a much lower chance of getting a 4v5 or a really bad teammate. If you’re really that good, you’ll continue winning most or all of your matches. One of the great things about GW2 is that every player can build to carry their team—no one is relying on a healer and a tank to be able to do anything worthwhile. If you’re good, you’ll kill stuff.

I’ve played a lot of matches with running and he’s good You’ll notice he’s quite high in team queues as well.

Also, you can still queue with any number of friends (from 1 person to 5 people) but you have to use the team queue now. It was a great change that really helped PvP a lot—otherwise, when you got a 4v5 in solo queue you’d also be facing a top premade, as it used to be when pugging free tourneys.

Edit: or buy multiple accounts so you can start over multiple times, or try to cheat the system by sync queueing. But not everyone who has hit the top spot had to resort to stuff like that.

or you can get lucky the 1st try.
MMR is broke and you get synced Q if you can make it past the 1st 5 games w/o losing.

Then its just luck weather you get a 4v5 then next 14 games

On Solo Q you look at % of people who have played 100 games and 80% means your good lol

Matchmaking is pretty good unless people deliberately try to sync, which does happen unfortunately. I was referring to Cruuk, who hit the top spot while playing actively, over a couple hundred games. (i.e. didn’t just get “lucky” with his teammates for a few rounds…)

But there are others who have hit the top spot without intentionally syncing.

But how does Qsync work? Even if you Q at the same time isn’t there a 50% chance that you will end up on opposite teams?

@NevirSayDie & Yasha

MMR primarily matches groups of people in similar rank for example ranks 30-34, 5 people and then matches them off against either a group of higher or lower ranks maybe ranks 150-154.

Its been confirmed. The devs said they will be working on MMR because they know its broken its no secret. Once you make it to the top 100 its very easy to stay, and if you play enough games you can get lucky to rank #1

Everyone knows SoloQ is luck.

Simply Q at the same time of someone who is within a few ranks +/- 10 or so. Or at the same % rank and you will 9/10 get on their team
