yep you are not alone. Right when I go into the lobby before I’ve queued at all the matchmaking pops up and says the match is about to start, only it never does and it wont let me leave queue.
Heres where I think we are for solo qeue this season.
Tier 1: Thief, Guardian
Tier 2: Warrior, Engi, necro,Ele
Tier 3, Ranger, Rev, Mesmer
Arranged by Tier, and also by individual value left to right and top to bottom!
I’m pretty adamant about this due to a few particulars.
Thief: despite having a higher skill cap than some of the other classes, also has crazy mobility right now and the ability to hard counter some builds.
Guardian: The general inverse of Thief right now would be DH, fairly low skill cap in comparison until higher level of play, upon which the sustain is crazy good if you know how to run it and you can 2v1 on points with a kitten ton of bully off point and carry a team. harder than most other builds
Warrior is the one class I don’t really play at all so I’ll just say this, The viability of both power and condi combined with heavy armor is annoying as hell to most other builds.
Engi: Never cosidered going main on engi especially for pvp until this season, Power/support scrapper engi build still being the only one viable in competitive spvp shows that metabattle doesnt know what the kitten they are talking about. p/p engi is a great build since patch with almost as much condi damage as corruptionmancer and more mobility/survivability, you just need to build it right and practice a bit.
Mesmer: I love mes and its my main for WvW but the state for spvp is weak as it stands due to so much reliance on chrono spec.
Ranger: Still dirty in team fights and bordering OP in a lot of situations but complete kitten in enough 1v1 situations that the ability to carry is weak
Revenant: Doubting the general viablility for this season in lower than mid gold.
Necro: Having the potentialy best condi build in a power meta makes necro invaluable, that being said most of the potential builds have generally been nerfed since sustain of other builds and has increased
Ele: still as tanky as ever, still unable to kill kitten, still bunkering, still spvp ele unchanged for months now

Save? No. To save sPvP ranked seasons you just need to fix the rewards so people play again.
Elite specs will shake up the meta and give players more options. Certainly fun but not game-saving.
New or better rewards wouldnt save the game at a competitive level in any way. Plenty of people mostly play pvp over other game types because they like the style better in which case rewards isnt the issue, balance and diversity of classes is.
They have everything they need to fix the current state of pvp. Rework some weapon skills that arent used OR just adjust what they do for pvp. This has been done slightly but it could be done on a huge scale to balance the game and make it so there isn’t just a meta build for each class but theyd have to commit to it.
