I at Backpack Co am pleased to announce that we are officially endorsing https://twitter.com/GW2Drama for all your ESPORTS News!
The bragging will start about how good they are on the ladder when they just played a lot of games. You should just delete it and restart updating the old leaderboard. Just fix the decay . Don’t allow people to afk for months and then get rank 1 on the ladder.
And so many of us solo Q in ranked which gives premades a free win. At least in team Q there was way less solo Q’ers. Most people have an inflated win rate atm if they only played with premade.
Its not even about player skill its literally farming people at a disadvantage.
So winning 10-15 games straight and placing top ranked (old system) is more fair than actually having to grind to see your effective skill level? No more teams that play once a week at low peek times on the weekday against baddies… You’re practically forced to play more games against high rated teams to earn your max 5 points per game.
A person with a higher average of points earned per game Should be ranked higher, than a person with a lower average rank points earned per game. How is this not more fair?
If my group played him, he would get the same amount of points as I would, IF HE LOST BY 200…..

All the games I play are at PRIME TIME, playing the highest MMR players available…. should I really be punished LOL… Im playing roughly 15 games a week now… all at prime time, 500-0ing every single one….
Someone who Qs 100 times a week and wins half their games SHOULD NOT BE HIGHER OR EVEN CLOSE to my MMR or my leaderboard rank…
You make it sould like I am Q dodging and scared to play good players…. I am team quing with the most competitive teams in the game… SURE I would love to play a similarly skilled team… Fact is: there are none.. Why should I then get punished for not having a worthy adversary??
Just for an example i was 460-193 before I went “esports” after that I went 600-60 in team q. leaving me at 1030-250. All of my wins were vs teams with lower MMRs because my team/group would consist of players ranked 1-10 on the leaderboard. Therefore I would have 1030 points. All of my loses would be 0 because they would at the very least be close games vs other highly rated teams. Leaving my point total at approx 1030 points. (Playing 1-5 games per day)
ghaleon.2861 a Solo Q player had this record
assuming equal matchmaking and close games, he would have around 5000 points……
Wins 5849
Loses 5449
Should he be rank 1, and I be 95%?? Like really??
TLDR Don’t make most games = Top, and a .5 w/l vs a .9 w/s lol.. you guys said the .5 was better because he was LOSING closer…. thats ridiculous, the .9 is face rolling… BECAUSE HE IS BETTER
Not necessarily true. The matchmaking could be flawed for any number of reasons. E.g. they tanked their MMR before the start of the season to get easy wins. We are underplaying the benefit of queuing as a group. They only play late at night when matchmaking quality is lower.
If we had completely random matching W/L might mean something, but as long as we filter by rating it’s tainted by selection bias.
If people are “facerolling or 500-0ing” others then just give them an insane MMR increase so that they play the best possible groups playing. If they continue to win then by all means they have earned the rank.
Why are you underplaying group play? I thought the ladders and seasons update was supposed to encourage team play not discourage it…
At this point I would rather have just old team Q and solo Q back…
Solo Q players should not be rank one with a .53 W/L ratio…. Solo Qers should never be rank 1… unless they are actually winning basically every single one of their games…. If you want a solo q player to be on leaderboards then make solo Q leaderboards and game mode seperate.
If anything playing as a group should grant you more points per win, promoting players to team up and improve rather than purposely Solo Q to abuse the way the new leaderboards work…
I have no doubt that I could Solo Q and carry my teams 70% of the time, however why should I when I can team q and win 100% of the time?? I understand that you want solo Qers to get rewarded, but a leaderboard that is supposed to rank every player in the game, should have the best players at the top.
I recognize that there is some skill required in Solo Q but its more mental stamina than anything. I would love to have a super competitive solo Q like they have in other games. However there are not enough good players to make this happen…. I cant try extremely hard and work with a team that has players that are utterly clueless and wearing starter armor…
TLDR: Either Seperate Team Q and Solo Q, or STOP favoring Solo Q for leaderboard rank points, and STOP discouraging people from playing as a team
its prime time China—- and tbh, china is our best chance for esports… it will be broadcasted on CHinese TV, and i believe that the funding is coming from Khongzhong… its important that they have success

There are… my point is, we aren’t getting them…. Like we will q, and another decent team will Q, we won’t get each other..
We also supposed to kill the two monsters at the very beginning, do we?
Killing Svanir and Chieftain at the start is the right call only very seldom, and even then it heavily depends on the enemy team’s composition. If the enemy team has highly mobile classes that can spike, such as (competent) thieves, the risk of a steal is very great.
In evenly-matched teamQ Forest games the mobs are often left alone completely. In soloQ however you can pull bosses with more security, given that people don’t coordinate and next to nobody realizes that 90% of the game is actually played on the mini map.
Please elaborate how the game is played on the minimap. You mean you watch for patterns and figure out the enemy team’s strategy and where you now need to be?
i’m just a casual player that had some team arena experience in the past, but i would say:
tl; dr
“be at the right place at the right time” aka “where you now need to be?”an example:
- if you are standing in mid, and noticed that there are 3 opponents at home, but only 2 defending and it is a 2 vs 2 at far. you might wanna go help home if you can arrive in time to make a difference. if it is too late for you to rush there, and home is a lost cause, perhaps consider rushing to far to help your team finish them off.errr i can’t think up any other.
others more experienced players will be able to explain better.another tl; dr would be
“observe the mini map so you can stack team fights to your favor”
My team qs lately… 500-0, 500-6, 500-28… cmon reseting MMR?? What is your reasoning behind doing so.
Why did you totally disregard the MMR from the last 1.5 years or whatever… Give that MMR to players on each profession, increase the volatility, and let their professions settle into their respective places.
The bottom line is this. Successful players tend to do well on every class. This game is more about rotations, awareness and other class wide aspects, that professions don’t change. Sure a bunker guard and a thief rotate differently but most players that can play one well, understand the other. The mechanical skill cap for most classes and builds in this game is very low, and players are either at that threshold, above it, or below it. Regardless stuff like dodging others animations, and positioning, which impact fights greatly, don’t change much from profession to profession. Point being, players MMR is not going to fluctuate much from class to class (unless they play turret engi or some other brain dead stuff). I like the idea of class to class MMR< but you need to start it off of the players BASE MMR< the one the had in team q.
TLDR: Class to class, the majority of players are either good or bad, i.e. their MMR won’t fluctuate much so reseting everyones MMR is going to make it a painful process for all.
… this game…. please add our old Team q mmr… im tired of playing with and vs bad players… im honestly just gonna have to super pug ever game?? i dont mind steamrolling everyone// but i would prefer if i could just solo q

pls….
I was rank 2 team Q, rank 30 solo q before the patch..
I had a very high MMR, and I rarely played with or agaisnt bad players….
WHY AM I PLAYING VS THESE PEOPLE (And with)
Btw, we won 500-190…. Someone died to the boss once as well.. Pls anet pls
Nothing in this game is hhard. Anyone on any class can kill anything you guys are just bad at the game seriously it’s just a PS I can’t believe Texas beach actually got that right text to speech kitten
Forcing people to leave their spawn after 20 seconds creates a “stagger” that makes then man down in every fight for the remainder of the game…
Example player X and Y die and go on 15s re spawn, players A B and C live for another 30 seconds before dying, then they go on respawn. 5 seconds later players X and Y are forced out and they are 2v5 for the next 10s, more than enough time to be killed…. The cycle continues. Change the time for players to respawn to either wave ( full team must wipe to respawn) or long enough to adequately regroup.
Ps: I’m tired of farming bad players 500-0 every kitten game
were both of u trying to play without a keyboard>? thats what it looks like from the general skill and quality of play i observed
They have already started the Final Solution. Your engineer stats can no longer be found on your pi charts, and soon, your characters will begin to disappear… until the entire… engi race…. is eliminated
kitten here come the “pro” babies who got spirit watch removed in the first place. It is a voting system and so fair. How can you people be satisfied playing the same 4 maps and same game mode over and over. Variety is good for 99.5% of people. If its so important to improve yourself then why not going and play custom arena with your “pro” mates.
Everytime Anet ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING FUN LIKE THIS PATCH it gets shot down by people who are so ingrained in the same boring format.
tl;dr: Play custom arena vs other “pros”
A. We still want rewards
B. I claimed that I wanted new gamemodes and maps developed, however until they are implemented in real tournaments, it is silly to have them in the “ranked” team q rotation.
C. Different gamemodes require different compositions and builds… Unless you allow players to switch then it puts certain teams at distinct disadvantages regardless of skill
D. Although esports requires the support of the entire community, it doesnt actually happen withouth both the 99% and the 1%
Hello! I’m Backpack and I have played this game with top players for well over a year at this point. I participate in the ESL Go4 Cups, ToL 2 (1st), ToG (2nd) as well as Mistpedia Weeklies and more than anything else, General Team Q. When I team Q, it is either with my competitive team, or with a very skilled pug consisting of the best players in the scene. We team q so that we can become better players and succeed in cups and tournaments that boast prizing such as in game rewards and money. The new implements to PvP scare me quite a bit. Since we team q only for the sake of bettering ourselves for these tournaments, for starters, we only want to play on maps in the competitive rotation. Skyhammer, Spirit Watch, and Courtyard have potential to become competitive maps (some more so than others), but as it currently stands, none of them are (Spirit watch is the only one I think would be nice to develop). SO I ask that these maps be removed from the competitive OR Ranked Rotation. Remove them, or implement yet another level of team q — Diamond league (or whatever elitist name you want) — this league would have only teams of 5 with a high MMR threshold, the map rotations would be that of a tournament, and the rewards would be slightly increased from ranked arena.
This “competitive” league could have games that are open to the public, in other words similar to games where you can watch top matches with a delay of ~2mins , anyone could watch these games.
Now I understand that this whole new league shabang is a stretch.
TLDR:: All I want is for the maps not currently in the competitive rotation to be removed from the highest possibly game mode (curently ranked arena).
Thank, Backpack
Team fighters sounds about right but I know a few way better duelists than the top 15 1 v 1.
15 top 1v1s (Meta builds only)
IF i wanted to hear you blab on about how Kronos is SOOO GOOOD and the only reason he doesnt play in tournaments is because he has obligations 24/7 then i would say soo…
But sorry I dont care if you win your 1v1s on a SA S/d D/P thief, or a phantasm mantra mesmer… please bring them into a 5v5 scenario… If your successful then kudos to youLol. Top 1 v 1 meta builds only? First you completely keep 1 v 1 and 5 v 5 separate by making two lists of it. Then now you want to have them cross over? Make up your mind. And um, he can play any thief meta and pretty much own 3/4 of your “1v1” list without breaking a sweat. Oh, just in case you were wondering…He does play in tournaments. 1 v 1 tournaments. He’s won over 12k gold from 1 v 1 tournaments and gambling servers.
And kronos isn’t the only one actually. There’s other good duelists out there that perform far better than those on your list. It’s just a popularity contest and I’ve seen said players get rekt by randoms 1 v 1. They are just probably better in a team setting, but 1 v 1 setting is a no. Like, for ele…I would say that ele named totagowa? (something like that) or Tormentum Nex (Star Destruction) is better than the eles you picked on the list 1 v 1 wise.

O.Oh hi Ferox, the guy who refused to duel any one of the people I listed above even when all of you were in the same dueling server. You kept making excuses not to 1v1 as captured on kaaly’s stream on twitch.
Good for you backpack. Really. Too bad you can’t convert those gems into cash. Meanwhile, I’m busy with my graphic design job and pursuing a masters in vis dev. What are you doing? Oh right, being a rich preppy 16 year old living in his parents basement where he has all those free time to play gw2. I really can’t wait for when life hits you like a truck in a couple of years. You really need a slice of humble pie. Why couldn’t you go to the world tournament? Oh right, parents said no.
I’ll leave this here.
And yeah Teef, I would really love to see a fight between phantaram and Nex sometimes. That would be fun to watch. Probably end in stalemate.
Lol u sound salty… #trustfund?
And BTW I’m 17 and the age restriction stopped me… Too bad u and ur buddies aren’t good enough to go… At least my restrictions go away with time, you all though … I Don’t think so #psi

I never changed my mind.. It’s in the original post and it just so happens that team q is the only place where 1v1s happen so your build has to work for both…
PS I have made 100k gems, 2 legendaries, rare armor and a few hundred dollars from 5v5s
:)
And have those Eles 1v1 phanta

Team is reforming for ToG, current roster is very undecided.. if your looking to get carried go away….
What we need: Age, Profession, Build, Hours played, tourneys played/won, previous teams, very open schedule, ability to make decisions BY YOUR SELF, rotate properly and have very good mechanical skill
Please respond here answering the questions.
Thanks, Backpack
On engineer, you can use toolbelt skills while in vapor form (vamp runes), so at 10% when u become vapor form, you can stealth, elixer R, and do alot more to yourself, while ur invulnurableee… ur whalecum anet
Wait…. your complaining about PvP gear being skill based? Go to pve if you just wanna farm…
congratz boyz, this is it
I am the best player in this game. I am 16, I turn 17 in November. My mommy can sign a waver, and I can bring an adult with me as a legal guardian to the event. I have a valid passport and I can speak Mandarin at a semi fluent level. WTF
