Bug or just bad matchmaking?

Neither. This is how MMR works. The more accurate it gets, the less it moves.

How is it getting more accurate? We’re stomping most of our games and have a 75% winratio. Aren’t we supposed to get more rating for each consecutive win like a winstreak?
We just had bad placements ( 6/4 i believe) after that we won 12 and lost 2 but got les rating for each win.
I think this is not how its supposed to be.

So with each win im getting -1 rating, down to 19 rating for the 4th or 5th win in a row. How is this possible?
Also i have a 18/6 ratio nwith a buddy and we’re climbing like turtles because of that while i see people in top 250 with a 50% ratio.
Bug or just bad matchmaking?

I just hit Legendary as Warrior Solo/Duo only (90% solo tho) as well.
The funny thing tho is that its more difficult to deal with ur own teammates than to actually be succesfull with warrior…..
“Oh we have a warrior in our team? might as well afk”
*sees warrior die in 1v2 without support * “OMG WARRIAR U NAB PLS KILL URSELF”
and so on
sure its the worst class atm but its more than viable in random queues if u know what ur doing and rotate acdcordingly.

This is why we need a mentor-system to help new players understand the pvp mechanics a lot faster. GW2 pvp requires a lot of knowledge about other classes and rotations to be succesfull. Heck even some veterans who play since release dont know everything.

If this mentor-system would be implemented nicely matchmaking would automaticly get a lot better and queuetimes faster because new players have a actual chance of getting into higher tiers of pvp faster.

Otherwise most of them will be put off by the amount of effort required to get good by themselfes. If this happens matchmaking and queuetimes will probably be even worse than now.

Since the core game is becoming f2p, leagues coming up and rank 20 required for ranked games, i think anet should implement a mentor-system to guide new players into higher tier pvp.
Veteran players should be able to become a mentor and new players could choose a mentor over the lfg tool (or sth like that). It should also be possible to rate a mentor so it wont be a trollfest.
To make this work we need a spectator mode so the mentor can watch over his “student” (and only his student pov) in normal games.
Also there should be some sort of reward for mentors like a title based of the rating.

What do you guys think?

+10000! make it happen anet plssss

Hey,
I’m looking for a serious team to get into esl and other tournaments. I never played in a full team before but i managed to stay in top 200-300 teamq and top 100 soloq pre december 2014.
I’m maining warrior on which i played ~1400 games of my 3400 ranked games (~55% win ratio). I could also get into engi or ele if needed.
Hit me up if u want to test me.
Cheers
