Guild Wars 2

JQ(today) or HoD(old)? That would be interesting.

This depends on how you are basing the fight. If you just took today’s JQ against yesterdays HoD then JQ would win hands down because strategies have evolved so much since when HoD was in power.

HoD would have a learning curve to try to catch up to what the new meta is. Even though zergballs and hammer trains are easy to counter they would have never seen them before and would be getting wiped in many battles until they had time to adapt.

Now if you look at it from the perspective of HoD has still been together for the last 4 months and facing off against JQ it’s hard to say. First of I’m sure there is a fair number of HoD still left on JQ so that in it’s self makes it hard to say.

HoD and JQ have similar coverage. T1 as a whole has much better coverage now though so JQ can’t dominate as much as HoD did.

HoD was a very organized server in a time when servers were still learning so that made them even more dominant. People just weren’t used to facing stuff like what they did back then. Now everyone knows the game well has been given time to learn and adapt to strats so it’s much harder to roll over other servers.

It would come down to who can organize their PuGs better. From what I saw, I was never on HoD but played them. They didn’t work well with PuGs. During peak times when there were tons of pugs on and they couldn’t get their guilds on they would fall apart. JQ has a public TS and works with PuGs so they would probably win.
