Guild Wars 2

I’m not a good player, i know that… but i still managed to get 15 pips into diamond..yet i still got in every game 1-2 players from ruby in my team.
Tbf, some of them played much better, than the one ele i had, who instantly died every teamfight and just flaming around…or that engi who wishes everyone should die on cancer..

right now im back at 8 pips..winning one game, loosing 5x

And don’t come with “get good” or “search for a team”.
Neither do i have enough time to play in a team, nor can i carry my team if they loosing lord in a 4v2..

dude you will not be placed with only diamonds in low diamond because matchmaking searches a pip range for similar mmr and pips clearly are not representative of mmr.

But get good and search for a team are your best bets. Understanding the core concept of your class and proper cooldown and resource management makes a player good, but further refinement of when to use certain abilities makes a player even better. There are entire games where I won’t use Eye of the Storm, Signet of Stone, Shadow Step, etc., because I didn’t find moments for those skills. There are many things to consider when using a skill:

1.Your health
2.Teammates’ health
3.Enemies’ health
4.Cooldowns you and your opponents used
5.What conditions you have
6.What conditions your teammates have
7.Your own and/or teammate stuns
8.The teamfight or duel matchup
9.Likelihood of a skill getting interrupted if you use it now
10.Stuff elsewhere on the map
11.Resistance or protection on the enemy
12.Who is downed (friendly or enemy)
13.Who is rezzing.

That’s a lot to consider and not all are applicable at the same time. Elementalist is also the best class in the entire game due to it having 20 weapon skills (one of which is a three second invuln with focus while others are knockdowns, interrupts, projectile hate, fire fields, etc.) then attunements on top of that as well as its healing and support potential and big AoE damage fields, but there are still gaps despite the versatility. Other classes like thief can fill these gaps.

Its just because of reallife i don’t have a proper time period where i can play. makes it kinda hard to find a team to play with.

And get good…
I got legend on s1, took me almost 3 weeks of evenings, played as a bunker-condi mes and cele-ranger.
legend on s2 took me like 2 weeks of evenings, played mainy as a S&R Ranger and Healbot ele.

And for now i’m mostly on guard (yes, yes i know) aslong i don’t get asked to change or seeing that it won’t make any sense against a specific team-cop (2 engis or more) or if we already got another one.

I don’t know if the time i’m playing makes a big difference, as i said above for the last two seasons i playes mostly in the evening (20p.m. +) and now its just messy. Not once in the last two seasons i got such a loosing streak.

Also keep in mind there are certain times where the MM really hates your guts whereas other times it seems to be fair. If you get three blowouts against you in a row just stop PvP’ing so your MMR doesn’t take anymore hit until you find a more favorable time.

This isnt the pro league, some people like me who hot join is because we don’t have time to build a relationship in the mmorpg community, I got home gw 2 is my ralaxation, and i do hope the mmr will be rework and made better. Currently i am just hot joining, kill as many opponent as I can, cap as many point as I can regardless of the trammate. If they are good, them fine, but I think me getting eaten by a tiger has a higer chance.
