How can we deal with throwers?

in PvP

I am not a great pvp player, I managed to get in Platinum one, which is not a real deal: I don’t have any destructive pvp godlike skill, but tbh I hate throwers. This morning I decided to try to rank up and got a pretty huge loose streak, which knocked me back right into gold 3. I know, I tilted, I made mistakes, and got into a negative mindset that didn’t allow me to win but.. was it all that?
Isn’t it just a bit, let’s say 20% bit, fault of the typical thief that gets into the game thinking that spamming the pistol 3 in team fights will make him win, and then starts flaming when it doesn’t?
How do you deal with other highly-tilting players? How am I supposed to carry, or at least to collaborate with someone that starts the game thinking “I don’t want to collaborate with you”.
In platinum flamish attitudes were a bit quenched, but as soon as I got knocked back into gold the chat was highly salty charged.
We have a special kind of report called “idling” or something similar, apart from matchmaking manipulation but.. is it working?
I try to block them, to report them, but somehow somehow I get another player of that kind if not literally the same guy.
Don’t get me wrong: I am NOT complaining about losing. Sometimes the enemy team is just better + I am NOT a Zan-skilled engineer, it’s pretty obvious that I am losing games, but I’d really like not to loose them while getting tilted from flamingos all over the places.
We all agree it’s better just losing than losing with a teammate calling you “noob” (and more) for ALL the bloody game.
How do we deal with these players, how do we carry ourselves through them?
I remember I managed to climb from gold 1 to plat, I just played at my best, tried not to make mistake, and not to blame anyone. I feel like my attitude isn’t different, but I’m getting players that are angry af and just want to blame others.
How do we deal with this?
Thanks for reading, best luck in the fields of battle

Another day, another keyboard bug, it’s really stressful. Windowed mode doesn’t solve the issue, it still blocks out.
At the beginning it seemed to be a “lag” issue (the game only froze in lag-gish enviroments like WvW or PvP) but atm it seems to be bugging even when you’re just farming woods.
It’s really a pain, every single ranked I have to be scared of having to relog and let down my team. Boring

PLEASE let heat benefit more than just sword

I don’t get this thing: Engineer whole point it’s that it’s not based on his “military” weapon skills (it’s not a sniper, the base atk is called “hip shot”), but on the use of amazing tools of mass destruction.
This is the core of the spec, kits, gyros, slick shoes, bombs and the holo, which basically is another kit based on holograms.
That’s for the “we don’t have many base weapons” complaint. We can go with five kits maximum for a devastating amount of 25 abilities not counting the tool belt. I mean.
Yes having heat on other weapons would make sense but it would also unbalance the game: if heat boosts them too much then the Holo’s way too strong. So they would nerf them, but then non-holo would be too weak.
A solution could be that baseline holo has a passive that decreases let’s say damage by 10% on the weapo but has heat intervals: let’s be honest, no one wants that crap.
Sword is a very weak weapon, that’s why it needs heat to be played along: pistols are strong and rifle is too, compared to sword, I think things are fine as they are

Playing with this kittenty bug is impossible. I don’t mean to be rude but today the keyboard locked 2 times for each of the 3 pvps I’ve done trying to get a daily.
It’s freaking ridiculous… please solve this. Ranked season is about to start, I don’t want to waste hours on this bug. It’s been on for weeks now

IT’s been weeks I’ve been kicked out of raids, t4s and pvps just because I HAD to relog. It’s not my fault if the game stops interacting with the keyboard, it’s a well known bug, please fix that, playing has become a nightmare..

The keyboard keeps locking itself: it happens only on the gw2 app (I can write on Safari normally) and the only way to fix it is to restart the game. Since I’m tired of turning the game off and on, expecially during pvp games, can you help me with that

The keyboard just stops working mid-everything. Keys don’t work, only the mouse commands do. If you cmd-tab the window, the keyboard is working on any other mac applications, so it must be this :/ any ideas?

I don’t know if it’s optimal, but in the meantime, you can get your 100% condi duration back by using full viper armor and trinkets + pizza and sigil of malice instead of earth/bursting.

I though that using sigil of earth and 1 boots + ring sinister was the way. I read that full viper and malice went over the 100% cap. Don’t tell me I have to change stats again lel

I’ve been playing the Viper engi since the new stats came out, got pretty used to it, but I just came back from holidays and… changes!!!!
Nothing really huge for viper tho (the main part seems to be rocket boots becoming a thing in PvP/WvW), or am I wrong?
Any of you raider/t4fractal guys who have tested some new engi builds (power or condi) that will be meta atm and want to share his/her opinions?

Engineer new PvP meta

So so so, new map, new meta, new disasters. I have been off for quite long but as I’m back I was trying some pvp. First thing I noticed, all sigils have changed, and it seems new patches brought another condi meta wave.
Personally I am pretty sad about this, I am tired of condi meta, it’s been there since the bunker one ended (necros, ahem) but it’s ok.
I want to know, what seems to be working on the engi right now? These sustainable condi builds doesn’t seem to be countered by the p/p or p/s: we just don’t have THAT condi pressure and sustain at the same time, it’s sustain OR condi, not both.
I tried mender’s amulet, going for a more supportive build, and it kinda worked, even if people are still getting wrekt by necro/guardian condi toasters.
What do you guys think? Which builds are you using? Let me know
