Guild Wars 2

The MM is biased. Every day I get 4-5 decent games with 50% win/loss chance when i start playing, the more I play i get worst games down to 10% win chance.

3rd time uninstall I wonder how many more will be

MithranArkanere.8957:

I’ve noticed something rather weird.

The least matches I play every day, the more close matches I get, and the more matches I win.

Down to 2 daily matches, I win all of them, over 5 I never win any.

I noticed that too, and also people in chat saying the same. If you switch class also applies, this game is …

Came back to game and went from amber to legendary, all soloQ in under a week. No need to pay for a carry, just stop getting ticked off at losses and practice more. Played a fair amount of thief specifically my push out of diamond to legendary.

Could be just luck + MMR though. What Teef build did you use? Also annoying that my Thief seems to be a magnet for other thieves and ends up with 2+ of them when I try to play it.

So true and the other team will have 3 necros and 2 dh

I usually pick the rev when there are less than 3 necros in the other team against teams heavy on eles,rangers,dh the power build with unblockable attacks and quickness just kills them so fast if you get your team to help with a slow or stun.

MM is just bad, i can see from start who wins or loses in most of the games. Usually one team will be scared to go mid, or will wipe in 10s and that is done. A few games recover but those are exceptions.

The game destroys medium players. I see may people just afraid to play anymore, because they know they are matched against better teams, so they avoid mid, tend to PVE more or just run around the map avoiding fights and trying to cap an opportunity point while the rest in team get rofl stomped by the other team playing with 1 hand only as they were nice to inform us

I bet you never had 3 of the team spending 70% of the game time dead like it happens in most of my games. I could be super player and still wont be able to win.

I found this game to be balanced around premade teams only. Playing solo queue it is and will be a lottery forever due to how classes work and counter each other. Split team over 3 points without prior coordination will be random and the results are decided mostly about what class attacks and what class defends, considering similar mechanic skills. A game mode to encourage 5vs5 fights would be better for random solo players, and easier to balance team composition by the developer at game start.
Edit: I speak as a normal player that just wants to have some fun, not as a pro.

I really wanted to get that 0 – 500 game few days ago, shame it didn’t happen is my only missing achievment in ranked.

I never wanted to go higher than ruby, I enjoy fast queues and I am not that skilled. However my last 50 games my team dies mid in 10 seconds at the start of the game and
from there we go 150-500. It’s not fun really being farmed and while ‘improve myself’ is an option I actually want to ‘have fun’ while doing it.

Most complain about warrior of thief because thats what they read on some meta threads and just repeat it, they play BEST professions but have no idea how stomp and apply 0 damage to targets and die in 5 seconds mid after starting the game.

What if I am happy with ruby but just want some competitive matches, not losing 10 times in a row with 200-500. Even this game where we played 5vs4 and we lost with 300-500, this game is a setup and game results are decided before start.

Remove close & far in solo queue

AOE spaming classes. Thief and warrior use targetable spells with this primitive tab targeting, no target lock, no party interface or shortcuts, pets and other illusions interfere with it, you have to be really good at micromanaging to play or underperform heavily an aoe class and get trash talked also.

It’s not you, outcome of the game is decided before the game starts. Like this game today where we were 5vs4 and still lost with 300-500.

I did want to uninstall for the last few days after so many bad games, finally today i am done. I just removed it to be sure i am not tempted again and ruin my mood and gaming experience, so … away for a while.

MMR hell is no excuse for being less than ruby. You just need to get lucky and draw a good team 3-4 times in a row. I have usually 15-20 loss strikes, than i go 5-10 pips up in ruby than again 15-20 loss strikes, but that should be enough to go trough the lower divisions.

Well elegant would be to be able to chose if you want solo queue or premades… why enforce a play people don’t want.

It seems that being a team has big disadvantages, because this thing is hidden at the start at the game ? Also the invite to party – thingy that used to give some hints about premade i dont see it anymore.

The game is a roulette you get win/loss strikes. Good side is I only get the good maps to play Anyway you can get to ruby easy, just farm win strikes. If you make it trough ruby just soloqueue!! means you are really good. I am not.

I got used to losing its a fact, I am amazed when i win a game as a thief. I had a friend with 7 wins i n a row asked to party with me and I told him sure, come with me for a few loses and it happened.

This is like poker, losing strike and wining strike all based on what cards/players you get. Skill makes a difference) that is what people in poker say also. Too bad you cant limit your loses or increase your wins based on team.

Every couple of games i get insulted for playing thief, i report a lot of people but i feel like reports are doing nothing the insults keep coming from new people like they don’t even care that the report system exists.

If you are a thief don’t just block them, report for verbal abuse if they do it, the game needs a better environment.

1. Sticky targeting (at the moment every time i click i lose target).
2. Ability to remove health bars from enemy pets.
3. Tab targeting prioritizing direction of view and not sideways.
4. Able to move/close map voting window.
5. Reduce the impact of aoe spamming.

Being i never play thief the things i want from my thief is

1- The ability to burst people down
I have been in 1 vs 1 and 1 vs 2 were i get people down to 20% of there health and a thief will come in and not be people to down them. Ive also had people who immediately down them and get the 0 sec stomp.

Theres nothing more attractive for a thief than a 20% target but most of the time my team cant get them under 50% … so its 2 sides of the story

I had to remove the chat just to enjoy the game, the matchmaking and meta is making people insulting eachother very often, contrary to the attitude that attracted me to gw2 where i found a really nice comunity.

Random might be better than this. If you don’t get over 50% good games with algorithms random tends to do it better.

Also on matchmaking most of the times it ends like 3 of x class vs 3 of y class instead of a mix. If people are at the same rank why put 3 thief vs 3 guardians for example instead of mixing them in different teams ?

Well I went solo queue and I had 4 premade in my team vs 5 premade in other team…just saying i don’t care much, next time il make a printscreen if it happens.

6 hours later(with some breaks) I started to have fun and get top score. I think my mmr got low enough to enjoy it or something, il keep playing it.

I needed 3 wins with thief in ranked… struggled for the last 4h to do it. First I got trashed by the team mates for playing thief in conquest, so now i play only stronghold here seems nobody cares that I play thief, still have 1 win to go

I am not in ruby yet, slowly going there, I was just thinking to make it trough the last tier just with auto-attack this would prove that i cant change the result too much. As I said just thinking not doing it

I don’t think win/lose is as important as the feeling of the game. Matchmaking should leave you a feeling that you almost won this one, if only would have done a little better, not a feeling of wow we are getting destroyed, where is my team why is nobody doing something. True, there are good games but the bad ones outnumber them heavily.

LordCanti.7124:

I see it like this; your pug team starts off with two thieves and a warrior, they won’t change classes, and yet, still somehow expect to win. This is why I want /resign, because I hate getting stuck in games with a sure loss from the start.

Haha, i just played thief a couple of games and my team would have resigned from the first seconds.

I did enjoy first season , but its done. I cant play unranked and have a nice time so Il just take a break and try some other things.

Do you feel like you are matched against better players or your team is underperforming ?

Unranked matchmaking does not work. One team has the worst players 75% of the time,
i think even random will yield better results.

Also a consistent interface for all games, I am a bit confused that every 5 minutes I am either red either blue, left corner right corner up down, sometimes I don’t even know what color I am anymore
It seems easier if my team would always be on the left of the screen, score included, and position on minimap bottom or left all the time, just rotate the minimap for each team.

Like this game we lost with 480 vs 500 just to see the message that we won i was reading the score in reverse

Last match 3 thief in my team vs 3 necro in other team. Camped at spawn all game.

Yes unraked has lot of one sided games, i just play as my team does now, if they all 4 go to cap close at start … i go with them A bit of wow style, geting camped in gy or camping others in gy.

TainoFuerte.8136:

I’m getting horrendous matches. Like, I feel like ragequitting all the time because the people I’m playing with are idiots. I can be 1v3, down one, and escape with my life, and my team will still not take a single point.

Exactly my feeling atm and thats why i looked on forums to see if anything changed. I may be bad at pvp but the matchmaking is terrible and games feel pointless.

I do enjoy my new ele class, actually does damage with the new sage amulet and takes a bit of attention to survive but is quite fun.
Thief on the other hand doesn’t look good, there were plenty of them in pvp games but they just dance around a lot and die … i dont feel them like a threat.

This will greatly increase quality of wvw on my server, where since joining this game we just been fed to bigger servers, outnumbered 90% of the time. Finally i will be able to enjoy and have a bit of fun.

Still happening. Fov, clock, rotation speed, targeting, camera shake all get reset to defaults ocasionally when I exit to desktop.

This is 5th week with outnumbered buff present 90%, pretty much sucks.

I just checked necro forum cause in wvw over 50% are necro atm. Maybe time to try one too

On my server outside prime time it was me and 2-3 guys trying to play EB with a lot of frustration for the last 2 weeks (from 3 total that i played). I am tired of playing 3 vs 30 seriously I wanted to change server but I don’t want to leave the friends i made here. I feel like a I drive a sport car with pedals.

So revenant trough wall shooting is also a feature.

I am a new player, about 1 month. First experience with WvW was randomly going to borderlands, run around half an hour thinking man this sucks, i am out of here, back to pve content. Than accidentally found EB and spent 1 week in there having a lot of fun even if outnumbered all the time. I think that resumes the overall feeling.
