Guild Wars 2

well, just i can’t understand how working matchmaking system.

You had to defeat diamond to earn your place in the diamond division, now same story with legend division, you’re close to legend and you’ll face legend, everybody who made it to legend went through the same

Except when there was nobody in legend at the start, they had it kind of easy.

No they still had to face the people that got there early like themselves…….. Just because the people that made it last few seasons were in a lower division doesn’t mean their Skill magically disappeared, they just got their before you did.

This happens all the time. I don’t understand how can it be programmed so badly. I was in mid diamond and had a match of full diamonds against all legendary players.

Just now I needed 2 more 2 wins for legendary and not only I get full legendary team against mine (we had only 1 legendary player) but also the full legendary team has a player from the best team in the world….game telling me to get kittened. (just salty…but the matchmaking is a mystery to me )

They’ve already explained their current matchmaking algorithm before, this is nothing new. they first find a team for you based on your mmr, then find the next team who’s group mmr is closest to your groups mmr, as opposed to the shuffled/interweaved matchmaking from season 1 and before. Can we stop creating new threads complaining about getting the short end of the stick?

Anet should really clarify what they changed from season 2 to season, 3 because it sounds like based on the number of forum complaints they might not have been enough. The difference appears to be that season 2 matched you with opponents based on pip range ONLY, without any concern for the opponents skill. Season 3 then takes this and matches you against a team of similar skill as well.

So good job. you are skilled enough to make the matchmaker match you against a group that is already legendary; or you queued up at a time where they were the only team whose pip range is near yours, but not close enough to be mixed into that team.
