Guild Wars 2

Currently I am running invoc with strength rune rev because I realized retribution and leadership runes just don’t work in solo queue. and while I do great at downing my teammates and cleaving while using impossible odds I lose almost all of my matches. Basically no one in my team helps me cleave or stomps the downs and gets melted regardless of the class they play and according to these people Magic Toker or Pro league players could have carried them.

I am trying to watch and follow those revs on twitch to learn about how they play and what else I can do to improve but I think there’s a limit to how much I can do. For instance if I win the mid fight, go home/far and win my 1v1 only to see my teammates losing mid because they are getting points or they are roaming around, is it my fault? And if so what can I do to improve? I suck at rev v rev match up so what I usually do is wait for plus 1 or try to play passive until the right moment and kill the other rev.

Just some tips for ranked spvp.

Make it 1v9 while playing below diamond/legendary. (i’ve gotta admit late season legendary eventually becomes sapphire quality though.)
Disable team chat, never talk to your teammates. Biggest mistake they do is arguing/kittening when the match is on thus both wasting the time and demoralizing everyone. There are many players you won’t like in spvp/pvp but the thing is, they are numerous and you’re alone, don’t waste brain cells on them. Also If you feel like getting angry after a couple unsuccesful matches – take at least 1 hour break to cool off. Never play when you feel tired or rusty, 1 unranked match before going ranked would be a good warm up.
And yeah, practice, lot’s of it. While 1v1 isn’t essential part of spvp it’s often very useful skill. There are a lot custom 1v1 arenas with people you could practice with.

P.S Don’t fight good condi mesmers. That’s class is a heat against power revenant.
