Guild Wars 2

Anet you need to start reward individual players computations. Instead of expecting use to be able to carry 4 Potatoes to victory, so we can move up the leader board.

So, you just had a paiful loss or streak of losing matchs? Welcome in the group buddy!

Now, seriously, while I think they could add something that could “compute” our individual contribution to reduce the points we would lose when losing a match, it’s somehow difficult. On what basis is a player better than the other?

While I think that most of the time, in a losing team, the player who scored the most points in the damage, healing, offense and defense categories probably was the most useful member of the team, it is not always true.

A player who is keeping the opponents away from a capture point is as useful as another who is bunkering it, but only the second one gets points for defending. The players who are attacking Svanir/Chieftain potentially give points to their team, yet there is no mention of it on the scoreboard.

A player who is distracting the opponents away by attacking the gate (and/or the lord) might give his teammates a well needed respite, but here again, there is no mention of this on the scoreboard.

A player who keeps healing his teammembers in the middle of nowhere might not be as useful as if he was bunkering a capture point.

Really, what I think they should do is to create some kind of mandatory tutorial/challenge that every player would have to master before starting a ranked match. This could be a way to determine if a player is able to be a useful member in a group. We’re talking about a competitive match, not some kind of practice league: this is not really a place to learn the basics.

A lot of players lack basic strategy or die in a matter of seconds a few times during a match (cannon fodder much): they do not have their place in any league, even Bronze. They should practice more, and this is what unranked PvP is about. Being rank 20 in PvP does nothing if all you did was lose or afk 100 games.

I am going to keep referring this post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Things-I-Wish-I-d-Known

Until the devs implement some kind of tutorial.
