Fixing the MMR is, in my opinion, treating the symptomns without treating the problem.
Of course the MMR isn’t the best MMR ever, but the fixing it won’t bring players back cause the problem is that HoT killed the fun.
I mean, look at what came with it. Some classes just have almost perma stability, or an amount of block / evade / invulnerability of the chart.
When you got stun locked and can do absolutly nothing against it, there is no fun. Thanks HoT for that. Some defense / CC skills need to get down. 30 sec CD for a gap closer + 3 sec stun? Way too powerfull. 3 sec block x2 on the same skill that pop an illusion? Way too powerfull. Stab on dodge : guess what?
Lets just cut it,
GW2 PvP has not been fun since HOT came out. No one really likes playing it, we all like the mechanics of GW2.
Match making doesnt work because no one is playing. Of those not considered no one there rankings are 1200-1800 and guess what those 20 or so players are queing up at same time are screwed.
The PvP population is down because HOT isnt fun. Pro’s wont play because no ESL, Semi Pro to slightly above average wont play because there is no reason and its bothersome.
For instance if a player knows they are a top 200-250 player and in the past season they just missed the top 250 with a 1750 or so they know they can make a few small adjustments to get into the top 200. If they are playing this season, they will make it into the top 150. They know this isnt true. No one wants a medal they truly dont deserve. All the players into the 1800 to 1600 range fall here.
The average players who play well at times, understand the game at times, are the norm to rage. Or they are here for fun and once again HOT is not fun for PvP. This is the vast majority of the game. PvE players, the majority of WvW main players who are also on the dying side of this game since HOT. They are in the 1550 or below range either asking why i have to carry a player dying instantly. With another player wondering why the is being blown up in 5 secs.
Rewards suck, que times sucks, no team play sucks, class diversity sucks, the actual game play of PvP sucks since HOT released.
There is no algorithm for fixing a game that isnt fun to play for veterans and new players in the current GW2 state.
Nothing more to add. Everything has been said. We kinda have the same vision on the french forum.
