As my topic states, how did FA and EB get placed in their current tier?

If you look at their CURRENT (not predicted) rating FA is still ranked 5th (tier 2). How did that even happen?

If that is honestly legitly happening then send TC up to tier 1 to replace SoR.

This may sound like a qq post but I am genuinely curious on how that even happened because FA and EB are just roflstomping their new tiers, which according to their current rank/rating it shouldn’t have even happened.

they didn’t actually drop a tier. that’s the RNG based matchup system in action. they got a lucky roll of the dice, so to speak. next week, they’ll probably be back up where they belong, depending on how RNG is feeling that day.

Since June 2013 there is a random roll involved in match-making.
Every server rolls a dice (a double between + 1 and -1).
It’s actual rating R is modified (since lĂȘage, it was higher before) for matchmaking MR:
MR = R + rand(-1,+1)*(0.45 * Deviation +10)
With current deviations this is a modifier of around + /-80

They drastically lowered the deviation amount a monthish ago, but yes some rng still happens and thats what you’re seeing. Simple as that.

We are in Limbo

Dont know about FA but EB does have a really active wvw community as of right now to face the higher tier…

however once we drop down we can own the lower server which will push us back up. We have fallen through the cracks of this system until anet does something

That makes sense as to why tier 1 switches colors but none of the servers drop a tier. They would need to increase that modifier from +- 80 to +-160 to make that happen.

@Liquid I am back now though lol. I am in OnS.

Thanks everyone!

I actually stopped playing WvW this week because if I go in, I gotta run with the zerg, if not I’ll get killed over and over by “small” 10+ havoc squads that are roaming in an attempt not to get zerged.
