When a ranger respawns, his pet briefly appears and will trigger any traps that might be underneath him. This is a pain in the butt in PVP because as you all know DH can lay traps, wait for the cooldown, and once the current laid traps are triggered, place new traps again quickly.
With rangers, I have to wait 15 seconds for the ranger to respawn before setting my traps because I know the pet will appear and trigger them. This eats precious cooldown time. It’s especially annoying if an opponent is heading towards the point but waits outside of your traps; suddenly the ranger’s pet appears, triggers your traps, and you’re kittened.
Please fix this.
For anyone stuck in this scenario you have my sympathies, if you get to around 45% win ratio it completely ruins pvp and makes it unplayable and really NOT fun at all.
Thank you for posting this. The problem has been evident since the first week, imo. Last season I got to diamond mostly solo queue. This season I struggled mightily to get out of sapphire and now I’ve been stuck in the lower tiers of ruby for three weeks.
I’m not the best player, I know that. But I am good; I almost always have the highest score (yes I know personal score doesn’t matter but if you’re two or three times higher than everyone else, that says something), I understand how to play the game, where to be on the map, how to support my teammates, and I rarely lose a 1 v 1. Yet I am continually paired with teammates who obviously do not understand the game. My win/loss ratio was 54% going into Season 2. It is now 48% and tonight I lost five games in a row, games that were not even close. My teammates continually made extremely poor decisions, did not focus targets, kept running far to die, ignored buffs, etc.
I can not make any progress. I’ve gotten as high as tier 3 in Ruby. As soon as I do, the games get even worse; blow-outs, horrible team comps, no communication among players, and just downright stupid play.
I’ve teamed up with some really good players and they have experienced the horribleness of the match-ups that anet gives me. Most won’t play with me anymore, so I’m stuck soloing and hoping that my teammates are decent. More often than not, they are extremely mediocre or just plain bad. Even more of my friends have just quit playing.
Those that deny MMR Hell; it’s really easy to see it for yourself. Make an alt, tank the win/loss ratio purposely, and then try to get out. Do it.
As I’m typing this, someone in map chat is saying that they just hit Rank 20 in PVP and they lost their first game in ranked. They were on a 20 game win streak.
To deny the problem is simply ridiculous.
No. The system picks the winner and the loser.
And winners don’t seem to realize that the system is allowing them to farm people on teams it has designed to lose.
Just played a team with 1 engi, 2 revs, and 2 dhs. My team had 3 rangers and 2 wars.
This is spot on. Those that are winning think it’s because they are good; no, it’s because the system purposely puts lower MMR teams against better MMR teams and punishes the lower MMR players even further by placing them in an endless spiral.
It also doesn’t even try to class balance the teams. The opposing team has three necros and two engis? Good luck with your two mesmers, warrior, thief, and DH! You can tell before the match begins 99% of the time whether it will be a win or loss. And most games are blowouts.
The system is broken and it will harm PvP overall as more people leave. Most of my friends have stopped playing the game altogether. There are so many other games to play, why put up with a system that is rigged for you to fail? A system where less than half the classes are viable in PvP and only if you play a certain build of that class?
I think the problem is at balancing. Right now, scrapper and reaper are strong, every ranked game i go into there always 2 reapers, and 1 or 2 scrappers…. it’s very obvious they are the stronger classes out of the 9. Everyone want to win so they take them that’s how class stacking become such an issue. BALANCE GAME PLEASE !!!
Exactly. One mediocre scrapper engi can easily take down two, maybe even three dragonhunters. The balance is way, way off.
Just played a match with two of them on the opposing team. Each one could bunker a point against 2 or 3 players as the points ticked away.
Balance the kittening game, anet.
The game is irreparably broken.There are too many other games to play to waste a single second more on this one.
scoreboard points means nothing. with max points you still can be one of the worst that care less about team and more about grinding the scoreboard show off. and last ones with the lowest points also can be one of the most useful ones or one of the most focused targets
Yes, I know individual points mean nothing in most matches, but if you lose by 300 points and one of your teammates has zero and the other has 20, that’s a good indication that a) you’ve been teamed up with players that are not at the same skill level as you and/or b) you’re fighting a team that is far superior to yours, both of which are NOT supposed to happen in the matchmaking system. Yet on certain days, this happens repeatedly, oftentimes sequentially. ANET basically admits it in their post about the upcoming changes to season 2.
It’s very frustrating. I was 6 pips from Diamond, playing mainly solo queue with a DH. Then the losing streak happened and I lost 14 pips. It took 56 games to get back to where I was, 6 pips away from Diamond, which happened just last night. And today? 9 out of 11 matches were losses, the majority completely lopsided and now I’m back down to 13 pips away from Diamond.
I use the GW2 Efficiency website to look at my overall win percentage and any time I start to creep over 50%, Anet punishes me by horrible teammates or impossible comps. The last loss, my team had a Rev that finished with zero points. The guy above him had 20. I had 125. Sorry, I can’t carry the entire team.
I know I’m not the best player in the game by any stretch but I also know I’m decent. I know my rotations, I can 1 v 1 most classes, and I hold my own in a team fight. But because I have a relatively high MMR, I get punished hard by Anet. It’s very, very frustrating.
I am also unable to queue. I was stuck in a match yesterday (Khylo) and had to quit the game to get out. Ever since then, the queue never pops.
