Guild Wars 2

1) Show MMR

Having a stat that determines your matchmaking and ranking and then making it invisible to you just creates problems. People have all sorts of theories on how to influence it, but there is no way to see what is actually happening. Some people swear that they need to loose matches so they can get wins, and it makes it very frustrating for people who are actually trying to play.

2) Either hide what map people are on or hide their names

This isn’t boxing. The Floyd Mayweather effect should not exist. If you are going to obfuscate something make it who is playing in a match not your MMR. It prevents the match making system from providing accurate results. The sample set for players isn’t very large and I have seen the same people throughout the season. Some I groan when I get them on my team others I cheer. If someone is tracking players in their watch list, they will end up placed higher than they really should because they are ducking the bad players.

3) The scoring system does not provide good feed back on your performance.

Most of the time it is not relevant to a players contribution. I’ve won matches handily where no one on the team was over 100 pts, but most of the other team is. I’m sure if the community thought about it they could come of with a scoring system that represented the actual contribution of a player.

• Time spent actively holding a point with an even number of players or -1.
• Time spent fighting on a capped point without decaping it should count against you.
• Time +1 on a point and not killing anything should count against you.
• Deaths especially at even strength
• Deserting a capped point and having it back capped 5 seconds later should also count against you.
