Guild Wars 2

I don’t know how I can get matched in unwinnable matches for 14 in a row… I mean they are not even remotely close matches. I don’t even know how 4 ruby 1 sapphire vs 3 ruby 2 sapphire can be as one sided as the matches I am in. It’s like the rubies on my team are amber tier players . Sure most likely I suck , but isn’t match suppose to match me with players just as bad as me?

it just means you are getting set up for a 14 wins in a row, ride it high

Match making is broken. A lot of Diamond V Emerald and the like going on right now for some reason.

I really don’t know why it feels like there are so many newbies in Ruby, I’ve had way more interesting matches in Emerald and Sapphire. I’m guessing I’m being placed with people that were carried by low MMR.

I’m ruby, got in 7 match I got 11 pips lost, and had 15 pips already, now I’m back to 10 pips again… I will do diamond no mater what

Having a really easy time soloing in ruby so far to be honest. I guess im in the games against you

It could be that people who got to Ruby played Mesmer or Ele just to climb the ranks and may not actually be Ruby level. Then maybe they’ve started playing their normal classes, but are struggling against people who are legit Ruby or other easy Mesmer and Ele builds.

A lot of Rubies and even some Diamonds do not belong, skill-wise, in their division.

They illegitimately got there by tanking their MMR. I know players in Emerald and Sapphire that are far better pvpers than some of scrubs I’ve encountered in Ruby and Diamond.

I’ve seen a large tank in quality as far as skill goes in ruby as well. Maybe its just the first tier, but the matches have been so lopsided its not even fun.

The problems with the ladder system are
1) its Farmable.
If you are horrible… you can still have a chance to progress if you continue to ram your face into the wall over and over and over again. You just have to have the patience to keep trying over and over and over and over again.

2) its Holding back experienced players.
Experienced players, (unless they team queued through emerald and sapphire… or got an early start) get stuck with kittenters on their teams and end up losing matches to other kittenters, and as a result get graded as kitten tier…. even though their skill level is well above the rest.

you should stop progression and hit a 50/50 win/loss ratio in the tier where you belong.

…and you should not get slammed hard with a 50/50 w/l from the start of amber simply because you keep getting some braindead mutant on your team who has no idea what pvp is or how to play it.
