Well, people who are lucky enough to be outside of that vicious losing streak will, of course, defend this system. But what i am saying is that intentionally making experienced players to farm newbies is just plain wrong. It is ok if it was a random match setup, but game does that deliberatelly

Some people will try their best to misunderstand your post. Talking about being biased.

True, but i also tried my best to make it clear what i am trying to say it’s just my bad english can sometimes fail me

The only thing i proved is that your fantasies have nothing to do with real world. There is just nothing to discuss with you.

Why are people using last league’s division rank as standpoint/measuring point? Last league’s meta was so bad and forgiving that there literally weren’t any drastic skill difference apart from pro league players/players at the top and average pvpers . Also before anet fixed queue with amber to advance to the division almost everyone I knew who played PvP “casually”, like played for daily matches for giggles got into legendary, diamond, ruby etc. Hell after seeing bunker chronomancer most of pvp friends that I had quit or moved onto different gamemode and myself as well.

Last year’s league is done! It does not properly gauge one’s skill. This league’s meta reflects not only personal skill but map awareness, rotation, secondary objectives, etc, basically much better than last league and also more difficult/skill based. If you were on bunkering classes and carried the team or survived through boredom last league, well time to change and actually try playing stuff that punishes you for the mistakes.

People that I know play regularly or had in-depth knowledge about gw2 combat system has already moved on to ruby and beyond. You can blame your teammates, team comp and matchmaking but you may be the part of the problem. I already see so many people trying to play 3 points and lose games, so many people not even bother cleaving the dead body as last meta they were rezzed easily, etc. All the bad habits from last league are still carried over to current meta so unlearn them.

I’m not telling you to get better or git gud. I’m telling you to adapt to the current meta, count dodges, play smart and start making strategies based on your team comp, enemy team comp and rotations. According to people on the forum I should have never escaped Amber since last league I played 5 games and lost twice. But I’m in ruby tier 5 right now and keep going despite winning or losing streak. If a guy who took 6 month break from pvp comes back and starts enjoying/winning matches, so can you.

God this is a huge amount of pointless text. You have absolutely no idea what are you talking about, so all your theorization is irrelevant. The problem is not what you think about my skill, the problem is what matchmaking algorithm thinks about my skill.

Why the hell did a-net need to invent some stupid matchmaking system in the first place? there are dozens of other games, like Heartstone that work just fine

Every single match is a blowout: either you win 500:100 or you lose with the same score. It is unchallenging, uninteresing, unplayble. And the worst thing is that as your MMR drops down you are being teamed up with even worse players. It is downwards spiral. So it is really better not to play at all

i think this time a-net really killed PvP. They tried very hard to do this. But now the have succeded. Keep the good job. Now it’s time to kill PvE as well.
Seriously, I don’t event want to play this game anymore/ There is no gaming experience in PvP, only frustration. Making top players to farm others is really a brilliant decision. The way they put good players in teams with absolutely horrible players is even better. A-net obviously can’t tell the difference between good PvP player and PvE pug

Maybe it will get better, but when? The season is not infinite. How long will we have horrible gaming experience? will we ever get to the point when we can play in equial teams in this season?

It won’t get better. For the reason I explained in my post above that got buried by his walls of text, high skilled players move up at different speeds due to having different play times or having other things to do in the game. Expect garbage quality games until the end of the season. Their system actually works out perfectly and will achieve perfect balance if and only if everyone that plays PvP play for the same amount of time per day/week/month and so on. As you know that’s not possible so, the answer is most likely we will get terrible games all season.

I was in diamond division last league. It seems i am forever stuck at emerald tier 4.

God, will they ever restore visual effects? Effects subjected to nerf are beyond ridicilous. Played mesmer with staff and elementalist recently. Cried

Astra Lux.2846:

speaking of auras. with the new egg shape my mesmer actually stands halfway outside the aura when wielding a staff. gg anet

One of my favourite visual effects which is a chaos shield is now a freaking egg. Don’t wanna play mesmer with the staff anymore.

For god’s sake, is it hard to make visual effects nerfs to be an option if Anet wants it so badly? Like a switch or something. So that other people can play with normal visual effects if they want to

Clock tower is amazing, especially i loved the idea of letting a lot of people inside. It feels really dramatic that way

I have no idea what are you talking about. I really enjoyed that jumping puzzle. It took me about 1 hour to complete it.

After some practice you can just feel when to jump without looking, so norns and charrs are not an issue at all, but just an excuse for those who can’t concentrate enough.
