Guild Wars 2

I think that matchmaking is quite good now.
One big problem imho is that people don’t try to play at least 2 classes.
When i see a match with 3 dh against 3 necromancer or 3 thieves and none of them switchs .. .i think the problem is of the player. Class stacking is and can be a problem but for example, if i queue with auramancer and i fall in a party with one or 2 already ele, usually i do one of the 2 things :
– change my build to freshair marauder
– switch to something else ( i play ele, scrapper and chronomancer for most based on team composition ) .
I am in silver and switching i have to say that i am able to stay around 50% of win and not having great losing streak

Yep. Those 3 DH should definetly switch to 3 thieves or something. Its the players fault.

Matchmaking can be not perfect but if you remain in a situation in which the match is unfair it is also something you do. Balance is made through paper,scissor , rock rule and at start you have more than one minute to switch and adapt to the other team comp. One can not like paper scissor ,rock game … ok … but it is as is from start …

Balance should not be rock paper scissors.

If you play thief and you are a 10/10 on thief and i play DH and im a 6/10 on DH i should not beat you.

Balance comes from the give and take from a class, we dont have that because of necessary trait lines.

Besides that you cant blame a player base and say switch to druid if you see a DH but if you see a thief or mesmer switch to DH but switch to mesmer or thief when you see a druid.

It needs to be a skilled base game other wise everyone in here should just go play LOL/dota since there are fixed classes to give everyone there role before a match even starts.

Balance should not … but balance is and has always been in this game rock scissor paper… if you want a different balance system you have to change game at the end . Balance is this and if you want to win you have to adapt to it . It is not great, i know … but it is like life goes on …. the less adaptable dies … it is darwinism
I don’t blame anyone . But if you don’t switch quite often you will lose and makes your teammates losing . it is a fact . And there are classes more versatile than others… if you play a class really specialized like thief you know you can have the need to switch more often than a scrapper

I main mesmer and play it well – i can switch to ele and faceroll and do… not as bad …. but my ele play is defendly on a lower skill as my mesmer.

And last season i played a lot warrior at bottom ruby, it destroyed my mmr – now you suggest that people switch to something they can’t play at a competetive level? Great idea…

I suggest only if you play a class that it is hard to work when stacked. It is better to have a medium warrior and a thief than 2 good thieves usually . Mesmer is quite versatile. You can play dps, you can play condi ( it is great ) . In this moment i see the problem especially for thief and necromancer ( for different reasons )
