My left hand does wasd and double tap dodge. Yes, I do in fact over click at times, causing a random dodge. More complex moves are going to take a lot of training time.
lol at the wvwers begging for the old maps. Why not try and get the new ones fixed? I’m sure content that is almost 4 years old will bring everyone back!
why fix a piece of crap?
you will simply end up with a working piece of crap
I am sure alpine will bring at least 1 back to home bl.
Interesting.
I can’t relate to someone who doesn’t want a change of scenery.
Have you been using your head to beat down those same doors for the last 3 years?

You know what’s more effective than a lawyer or some useless bureaucrat?
Not buying gems. Not converting gold to gems. Not logging in. Not buying the next expansion they push. Hurt their metrics that will get the attention of the money people and they ultimately run the show.
Why do people assume you’re supposed to advance if you play enough? It’s about whether you’re good enough or not. If you’re still in ruby after a few weeks it’s because you belong there. Amber, emerald, and sapphire are all trash divisions in that you will progress through them if you play enough. Ruby is the first actual barrier that starts to seperate the not too good and the not too bad.
People over correcting. Either balling up on home or mid. I don’t know how to carry that either back capping things slows it down but usually the entire enemy team isn’t on the contested point and they are doing the same. It’s discouraging. people don’t look at the minimap and they don’t read the kitten chat.
100% solo. I win streaked to the last tier of emerald when I had 2 losses, then win streaked again until halfway through sapphire. Stalled out a for a day or two in the last tier or so of sapphire with a 10 loss streak then played out of it in a day. Ruby has slowed down a lot I’ve still been able to maintain about a 60% win rate but it’s win 2 lose and the loss of win streaks has hurt.
Matches tend to be blow outs either way which honestly isn’t very fun from either perspective.
Given how much I play I’ll probably get out of ruby the beginning of next week. Hopefully diamond is better because the amount of stupid kitten I see in some games is depressing.
I don’t know what it is, whether it’s the weekend or that there really is an MMR hell. Soloqueue just doesn’t seem viable anymore. Where I had a win streak from Amber to Ruby, I have seemingly hit a wall (not skill wise) where I keep getting pushed back to t2 ruby. No matter how many times I get to t5-t6 Ruby, I get a lose streak and I get pushed back down to t2. You can’t carry 4 other people when they aren’t prepared to pay attention to what they’re doing or play properly.
I’d have to agree with what Sirbeaumerdier.3740, that’s really how I feel about this current season. All in all stuff like this is really making me want to take another 4 month hiatus from the game, just like what happened with me in last season.
This is what happened to me today:
Don’t play on weekends. It was terrible last season and it’s terrible this season.
If your matches are being decided by 100 points or less mmr is working and people are just screwing up.
Do you talk with the team before the match? A simple “Hi, I’m going mid/home/far” loosens people up usually.
Do you see people feeding a zerg on your home? Or similarly 3 people running to help a 1v1 on home? Call them out on it (gently).
People going for secondary objectives when they shouldn’t? People fighting off point? Poor rotation in general? Prod people gently on these points during the match and hopefully you will get through. Also make sure you aren’t committing the same sins. Also watch the mini-map if you see the other team has left a point un-defended and you are fast capture it or decap it at the very least.
Seems really streaky. Went 18-0 then lost one when we were up 200 and 2 “primordial legends” decide to push lord at 250 and kitten fell apart after that. That started a 5 game losing streak where I could pinpoint the exact moment the match was lost. From teammates over correcting to home and two games of people sitting on the treb being useless the whole match. Point being after the first loss the quality of teammates went to kitten.
I probably should have played more the first two nights to get to mid sapphire because the quality of players I’m getting teamed with in the last tier of emerald first tier of sapphire are terrible. Not all but it only takes one or two to kitten things up.
Not saying I’m perfect and I don’t screw up but that for me the majority of the losses I have come from a major screw up on the part of one or two teammates.
You need to balance once a month. You also need to have a PTR or at least give the balance changes out a week before so people can comment. I get the feeling that the balance team does little to no pvp.
Seems like it’s working fine. You lost the match you lost a pip. The map is what made it a close match I have a feeling had it been on one of the other maps your team probably would have been stomped.
No DS is fine. Us dd attacks to get through it and interrupt the ele when they go to use their big heals.
Yup….use wimpy auto attack to try and break through all the protection and heals all the while the ele has 3-4 dodges in a row….You sir, are the winner of the day for the dumb-dumb award!
TLDR: Yes, diamond skin is a broken mechanic that provides immense reward for literally no effort. Hard counters are not healthy for any PVP game, especially when they hard counter an ENTIRE play-style not just a class
New conquest maps need to be bigger with teams of 10-15 each, this will help reduce the influence of bunkers too. Secondary objectives need to be dropped totally or reduced in value. Beasts are a good secondary, the lords and tranquility are not.
I can’t believe they haven’t added a pure ctf map yet, they have all the elements for them in the game already.
Different ways of capturing points would be nice also. Channeled captures, zone capture like WoW has in EOTS where the more people standing on it the faster it changes side, and can even change with an enemy on the point.
It’s not like there aren’t an abundance of games to steal ideas from or improve upon.

You are stuck in an match that was ‘forgotten’ by the system. Often times you will automatically be removed after being logged out for ~15 minutes. This is the same problem that people mention in the “Stuck Match” threads on the forum. I will let the right people know you’re stuck so you can be freed once they’re available. Sorry about this Also you won’t actually get dishonor when logging out; the game just thinks you’re in a match still.
Here is the sticky: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Help-I-m-stuck-in-a-PvP-Match/page/6
It’s because hitting ruby requires no skill. All you need to do is grind and you will hit it. And by this time, all the pve heroes have had more than enough time to hit it so..
None of the league requires skill. Ruby and after just requires more grind than previously. The league tests your grind endurance and how much time you have on your hands before you burn out.
Pretty much every mmr based game is a grind by that logic then. Dota 2 is a grind, LoL is a grind, CSGO is a grind. None of those games need skill. Everyone can hit competitive tier if they play enough right?
You are deluding yourself if you think that at ruby level the game magically starts testing your skill just because you can lose tiers as well, because that is the only difference.
It’s funny because you didn’t address my point at all. And it is a pretty big difference. It’s like ruby is the trench for dota 2 (3k mmr) and then there’s checkpoints at 4k mmr (diamond) and 5.5k mmr (legendary). Does that mean a 3k player is as good as (a) 5.5k mmr player? No.
And through my experience, I have experienced mostly better and better players as I climb. The number of players who are good and still in ruby and below are a minority.
I’ve seen you play it doesn’t take an abundance of skill to get to legendary.
And you know what…other people get queued with bad teammates sometimes too.
And sometimes you get queued with people that are better than you.
These are hard facts to swallow, I know. Everyone likes to think that they’re god’s gift to PvP and that teammates are the ones holding you back from being in the Legendary division, but sometimes that’s just not the case.
Considering how much focus people here are putting on their 1 v 1 skills, I have a sneaking suspicion that there’s a reason people are having trouble winning…
It doesn’t have to be constant to wreck your progress. I lost 4 pips in two games because my teammates either fed the zerg at mid or at home. So while I won 4 of six games crap teammates wiped out all my progress. Also I don’t run glass cannon or 1v1 builds, I play support or bunker characters. Further I made no mention of 1v1 skill.
Maybe you don’t. Maybe Sapphire is your skill cap.
You can’t blame everything on matchmaking.
Remember that other people are queueing into the same matchmaking situation that you are…
If you get stuck with a team that insists on feeding a zerg camping your home while you try to cap and hold 2 other points it’s not a skill issue on your part.
I sailed through amber and the first tier of emerald easy 2nd tier I got strings of premades, stuck with teammates who didn’t know how to rotate around a zerg, or a combination of both.
7) If there are 3 people on a point even if there are three of you heading there it’s probably best to go to another point as it has at most 2 people and probably only 1.
Also you won’t actually get dishonor when logging out; the game just thinks you’re in a match still.
