Guild Wars 2

PvE – is the answer, at this point most of the people don’t go to PvP to do PvP, but to get fancy skins and ascended Armor…. Which are then again made to bait people into PvP but A-net doesn’t notice it hurts PvP more than it helps, people who’d want to play competitive would even go there without being awarded with ascended armor. And then again for the Backpiece, Fashion hunters ain’t even allowed to stick to one Class, which is ridiculous in itself…. If those things were obtainable only through unranked it’d make much more sense to me since the baited people don’t hurt in ranked matches but can still decide to play Ranked if they are getting more interested in PvP….. Well I personally can’t share the experience about the placement matches, they were fine on me, at least this season. Last season i had to make the experience of having to climb, since i was starting to do PvP, and i can tell it wasn’t fun at all….

Its actually the complete opposite. The lack of PvE Bronze and Silver players is the problem in the current matchmaking system (which doesnt even work in high populated moba’s so i dont get it why they did it here). Because you have such few players in general the MMR range gets wider if the queue time goes up. Because of the lack of the PvE players there arent fast bronze and silver games coming up, so they get put into the wider queue range aswell. Therefore you have games where a Platinum and a Bronze player plays a game together which is unsatisfying for both of them.

The matter got point out a lot of times already but ANet just refuses to change anything on their systems.

it’s all in the attitude.

rote with your team, not against them. make a difference in fights. analyse what you could have done to win.

Exactly.

The most important thing is to accept the fact that you are not as good as you think you are. From there, either you try hard to improve youself or live with what you can currently achieve.

Blaming teammate is meaningless. The current matchmaking is just the widely used system you will find everywhere. Unless you have some brilliant idea that will shake the statistical world, there is no point complaining about it either.

This would be true if GW2 PvP has a large playerbase and a season would last a year or so.
Especially in the first matches its ridiculous how people play this game. Its not even about raw mechanical skill, its about thinking about the game. If the enemy has 2 points and you have 1 youre doing something wrong. Whats defenitly not helping is chasing a Mesmer with 3 people for 1 Minute so they still have 2 ticking points that time.

I played solo and duo, won 8/10 placement matches and was ranked about 1500~. Yesterday I was matched with exactly the same 2 players for 5 games in a row and lost all 5 of them due to their bloodlust in fighting the whole game without capturing all points.
I 2v1 and at some points 3v1 and the enemy far and hold it, getting 5 topstats at 4 of the 5 games and still loosing 100 MMR.

I know that everyone can have a bad game, or even a bad day and I think I’m the last person not admiting faults I made some kittenty plays the last days myself. But due to the lack of players and the pretty weird matchmaking you still get people who dont understand simple mechanics of the map or certain interactions due to inexperience even tho you’re on the verge of getting into Platinum.

edit: The problem is that you cant do “average mmr games” with a super low player base, if one team has a high mmr player the other team needs some aswell. If he cant find one the high mmr player just gets matched with super low mmr players playing against an average enemy team. And therefore a lot of games are just unable to carry.

Well 100b was a mobile skill in the BWE#1 and #2, but people who knew kitten bout the game back then cried and complained that 100b is superOP cuz they werent able to dodge it.
Then a-net nerfed it and now we’re at the point where people know how to play the game proplery, so all of these static skills are kinda useless now.

The only time i notice the problem is when a Mesmer uses his portal skill. Just Limit this Portal for Partyonly or 5 People only, so there won’t be an invis zerg fest.
