Guild Wars 2

u can try and minimize this,

but the point is, you gotta bring the right tool to the job, sure it was skyhammer, and i played knockback engi, regardless

i still destroyed a premade in a 4v5, which is more than anyone else in this game ever has or will do

this was a 4v5 from the start, not only did i win anyways, i utterly destroyed the other team in the process…..

i am convinced that the matchmaking is broken, which is what i stated.

any other inferences would be an error.

i doubt any of your “armchair” critics are going to watch this..

but 32 is statistically significant…….

if i played other classes than thief my results might have been different, we will never know. i play thief, i expect a decent match when i play a thief. i have no interest in how my matchmaking would play out differently if i played on other classes, because i have no interest in other classes.

so, instead of dealing with hypotheticals, i got down to business and actually put in the work. the work shows that matchmaking is broken AF. this data is not hypothetical data from a bubble, it is the observed results of 32 actual matches. regardless of what hypotheticals you may believe influence the data, this is how the data plays out. this is how the matchmaking actually works. and it is totally broken.

32 is a statistically significant sample.

like many players, i am certain there is a skew to matchmaking, and that the matchmaking system is severely broken and cannot evenly distribute the classes….

so i took a sample of 32 matches, played as thief, here are my results:

of 32 matches, in 15 of them i had more thieves on my team than the enemy team, giving me a 47% chance of having more thieves on my team than the enemy team.

of 32 matches, in 0 of them did the enemy team have more thieves than my team. giving me a 0% chance of facing a team with more thieves than mine.

of 32 matches, in 6 of them i was the only thief player on either side, giving me a 19% chance of the being the only thief player.

of 32 matches, in 11 of them there was an even number of thieves on both sides, giving me a 34% chance of having thieves equally distributed.

of 32 matches, in 8 of them my team had more than 1 thief, and the enemy team had 0, giving me a 25% chance of having a thief on my team and not facing one on the other side (this number is also represented in the 15 matches where i had more thieves on my team over-all)

during these 32 matches, i had on my team in total: 60 thieves (38% chance of having another thief on my team) 10 warriors (6%) 18 guardians (11%) 7 engineers (4%) 8 elementalists (5%) 27 necromancers (17%) 12 mesmers (8%) 14 rangers (9%) 4 revenants (3%)

during these 32 matches i faced in total: 26 thieves (16%) 12 warriors (8%) 19 guardians (12%) 12 engineers (8%) 10 elemantalists (6%) 34 necromancers (21%) 12 mesmers (8%) 22 rangers (14%) 13 revenants (8%)

regardless of the outcomes of these matches (yeah, i carry pretty hard) there is a significant disparity between class distribution in matchmaking—at least when i queue as thief.

the pvp community is so toxic, because this community is a small cesspool of individuals who cannot/willnot learn…….

matchmaking is now more broken than ever

i imagine some dev fat fingered somewhere in the code

never has it been this bad

never

it is an utter failure

after years and years of failure, and a failed expansion….

GW2 pvp is now dead.

Matchmaking has never been worse.

Class Balance has never been worse.

the only people who will remain are those who are to sorry and broken to jump ship…

it is clear improvements will never be made to this game, it will only continue to butcher itself.

queueing solo has never been a worse experience in any other mmo as it is in gw2 right now.

Eurantien.4632:

It was a 4 hour tournament and everyone wanted it to be over. The admins tried to speed it up by implementing a rule that made the fights go faster (by making stalled match ups fight on alternative classes). I took advantage of that because there was 0 chance of beating that mesmer build. They couldn’t have known that would happen when they implemented the rule several matches earlier. Now that it has happened they know for the future. It was a free tournament, the admins are humans.

you openly admit you have no honor

the specific incident involving eurantien is one of the most embarassing parts of this whole fiasco, blatant collusion with the admins, it just does not get any worse

the entire admin staff involved in this event has lost their credibility

what a black mark on the pvp community

there is nothing worse than a organization colluding with participants to ensure winners, many participants were unfairly treated so that the cronies of the admins could win….absolutely despicable

let alone many players being absolute cowards and stalling for 5+ minutes

absolutely embarrassing

plus+ the rampant bad mouthing of participants by admins during the tournament, on stream, completely despicable and disrespectful

I believe there is a circle of influence creating the environment we have now: dev’s implement a really great queue system, dev’s implement a really awesome MMR system, players feel like the games are going good, the players tell their friends about how good things are going, the playerbase grows, the dev’s see what has been working for them and the community and strengthen and refine

ban acandis for blatant insubordination

I am glad that an official soloq system is gone, one that ensured i would only face other players who also were q’n solo. Now, I only feel alive when I get the rush of testing my skills against a full premade with no one to watch my back

matchmaking is now at the best it has ever been, I don’t even miss soloq

bear and bry should cast this

Easily the most epic duel I have ever witnessed in Tyria

Huttball, Huttball……Huttball…..

How’s about….some Huttball….with a side of some Huttball

enemy castbar, tab targeting that ignores AI, a utilities overhaul: removing the unitaskers, elite overhaul: make them good, reduce cooldowns, a serious evaluation on cooldowns in general, more maps, and more modes, food in spvp (I want my condi redunction foods) more unique reward paths, like a SAB one, or a tacouatal one,

some sort of indicator that tells you when you are in a particular type of combo field,

Props to the fathers, now make like Jupiter and eat your children

after playing countless matches, it is a safe assertion, that conquest mode is too complex for the average participant

How is it that TCG and 55 HP Monks get a official thread from Anet on their participation in ToL and ApeX and KpeX do not?

Anyways, Congrats to these 2 teams for showing the scrubs of Tyria what the strongest builds actually are

They might not be the most fun, but they are the most effective, and all of Tyria deserves to be hurtted in the butt by you

yes, the scoreboard does need a drastic makeover, as the points displayed are relatively meaningless, since everyone gets the same amount of rank points, unless you get a few #1`s

since it does not show rank, and the score is largely irrelevant, it should show something of use

if you want downstate to end faster, just swap characters, or just log out, then log back in,

though it may take longer than the 15s respawn time, you can negate downstate like this

communication is too hard in this fast paced game, without macros to quickly convey messages

the way most people play soloq like it is a hotjoin, is toxic

How’s about they just replace their broken MMR system and leaderboards with brackets or ladders, anything to do so that experienced players are not constantly matched up with people who are going into their 3rd match ever.

And let’s be clear that rotations do not equate to skill rotations that maximize dps or are combos, they refer to understanding the minimap and knowing where to be and why to be there

And if you have low mobility, here is your rotation, home and mid~~~~ the end

kitten , nailed it

Here’s a tip for new players: if you are losing, it is not your fault and this is the time to rage on your teammates. I recommend insults aimed at how much of a PvE hero someone is and instructing people to go back to the hotjoins.

Also, at the beginning of the match, let everyone know how boss you are and that if they don’t carry, you will afk.

So, it is still broken and those of us who recently completed the story will have to do it again?

Im’a wait until it is confirmed fix before I challenge Zhaitan again

Waits, I got a real one, Ranger pets hitting for insane damage, like 40k…..

I awaits my gold.

I found bug

celestial ammy

the Kirito has SuperSayiajain hair, I call lies

How is it easier to scrap something, when u can just edit?

Thass what I can’t deal with

But seriously, remove spirit watch from soloq rotation

I only pvp with Dragon ranks

Skyhammer have no water, what r u whining about?

Only underwater combat IMBA

can we still get cultural armors in pvp too?

I look forward to theorycrafting a build for max confusion, torment, and retaliation uptime, i want to punish a player for moving, hitting me, and using their abilities

I want to punish an enemy for playing against me,

when developers are faced with decisions that may attract new players whilst potentially alienating current players, they will always side with attracting new players

maybe someone is new, and they are interested in GW2, so they go to twitch to see what it is like, which is the smart thing to do nowadays, it’s almost like try b4 u buy

and they see a streamer by the name of OstrichtAggz, and decide to tune in, within seconds they will hear the rants of pro-nolifer saying things like, “AMFG GUYS OK, I’M NOT CHANGING THE BUTTROCK AND LOL I HAVE OVER 90000 MATCHEZ PLAYED AND IM STILL R64”

the viewer will go "amg, this guy has played so long and he hasn’t reached the highest heights yet? HOW WILL I EVER SOAR LIKE A DRAGON?!?! " and go play some competitors inferior product

How much glorypoints rewarded for wurm death?

I seen water on pvp map: Spirit Watch,

Please retire this map too, water combat=too imba for the competitive scene

I have faced Jasher on opponent tame, it was a whilwirnd of deaths and destruktions,

He took out our treb by hisself,

After he bested me 1v1 he sent me a vod of our fight and tips on how 2 improves

I am now on ladderboard cuz of Jasher’s teachings

signed, plz just edit capricorn, do not remove
