Guild Wars 2

As per title.

In League of Legends you cannot queue in Ranked until you’ve played a certain number of games. It should be the same for tPvP arenas!

You should need to reach a certain rank before you can queue in tPvP. I see it quite often – inexperienced players queue up alone or together and give the enemy team a free win because they cannot play their class nor do they understand the maps.

Rank 10 would suffice for most I would say.

make an unrated teamQ 5vs5 with 700 rank points per win without rank restrictions. add rank 30 restriction to rated solo and teamQ.

Actually, in League you only have to be level 30, you can achieve that through bot matches
That being said, Rank 10 or 20 is good

Given all the restrictions they’re putting on new players such as having to unlock traits, sigils, runes, and amulets, I think the LEAST they could do is do this. Requiring minimum rank to play in the queues would be, in my opinion, a good restriction to regulate the flow of information to new players.

I say 30 is a good rank.

League has a functional normal system with matchmaking.

gw2 does not.

Leauge also has a large playerbase.

gw2 does not.

Rank doesn’t matter its like achievement points, the longer u play the more you get.

Not gonna change much. I’m losing many won games because people decide to go cap the far point, resulting in deaths on every points. Actually, it’s not even beginners doing it.

Completely wrong. If rank didnt matter, then a rank 1 could beat a rank 80 no issues. Yet it doesnt work like that does it, so rank clearly does matter.

At least until they hit rank 10 they should be prohibited from solo/team G and forced to go in hotjoin. Its one thing to have players who don’t know the tactics, but its another when they don’t know the class they are playing or what capture points are.

ANet do something about it, its helping no one at all.

Guess what, rank 1 means the player has never played a single pvp match before. How does that not matter?

the MMR just changes way too much per match. new player gets a couple lucky wins and he’s top 100. veteran players get a few 4v5’s and lose hundreds of ranks.

I think they aren’t saying rank=mad skilllzzzz MLG.

They are saying Extremely low rank = You probably still lack basic pvp common sense.

Rank really means nothing… I believe that it doesnt matter whether you are rank 9 or 40. That rank 9 may be naturally good at pvp, and the rank 40 may have just played a lot of hot joins. I also think limiting the tpvp/SoloQ entry to say rank 20 wouldnt solve anything, because you would still have the same problem…People coming in not knowing how to play tpvp the “right way”…It would solve nothing.

Limit it to rank 10. Pre-rank 10 most players simply won’t understand the conquest part of PvP well enough to really contribute to a game. However, I think anything over 10, and you’ll lose a ton of players, because grinding up 20+ levels just to get decent sucks.

As a note, I made rank 184 while rank 19-20 (ranked up while doing it). According to some people I shouldn’t have been even allowed to queue because I didn’t know enough to play. Its not that I’m good, but you can learn the game far before level 20 well enough to play in soloQ.

If you want to make separate distinctions, then I’d go level 10 req for soloQ, 20 for team queue (since team is more competitive by far).

farm skyham, enter pvp

Can we please put the amount of rank required in perspective.

r10 = 10,500 rank (30 matches 50/50 wins hotjoin)
r20 = 54,000 rank (154 matches 50/50 wins hotjoin)
r30 = 136,500 rank (390 matches 50/50 wins hotjoin)

Minimum rank for tPvP should be r20, if people aren’t willing to play 150 matches of amateur PvP before playing ranked I don’t know what to tell them.

Everyone tells you that soloQ means nothing and any scrub can get highly ranked, but then when it comes to allowing players to play soloQ, NOW all of a sudden you can’t understand the game at all unless you’ve put in hundreds of games.

On a side note, I have 326 games played, and I’m halfway through r20. That includes 145 tournament matches played, and I do just fine in soloQ. It really doesn’t take that long to get a basic idea of what to do, even if you aren’t amazing (which is what rankings are for).
