Guild Wars 2

I don’t get how it works. I’m 13 rank and it put me always with 30-50 allies/enemies. Yes, i had long winstreak with low ranked players, but it really means i have to face Champions? Every single person have champion title on matches and i’m just newbie with 25 wins

It’s the e-sport level. Get used to it!

Rank isn’t considered when forming solo queue matches as it’s not considered a measure of player skill (it’s only a measure of time investment). The game uses leaderboard ratings to try to match up players with similar skill levels (the theory being that if you’re in similar positions on the leaderboard, you’re going to be of similar skill).

Unfortunately the leaderboard MMR system is kittened to all hell. Instead of using a proper ELO system to allow players to gradually climb ranks as they compete, it uses a bizarre MMR system which is incredibly volatile and will result in new players cascading from top 100 to bottom 25% every few wins.

Just take a look at the leaderboard, the top two players are 14-1 & 11-1 while other people in the top 10 have played over 500 matches. It’s an absurd, broken system which results in absurd, broken matchmaking.

Sometimes, it just doesn’t even give you a match.
