Guild Wars 2 Forum

Hey guys! I really liked the old streaming thread, but it was so out-of-date I thought I would take the time to update the list. All I’ve done is delete the channels that didn’t appear to have streamed since the April patch.
If you were on the last list, but not on this and you regularly stream, then just post down here that you want to be put back on (I must have just missed you/there were no recent broadcasts for GW2).
As with the last thread, please feel free to submit streams below, this will be updated regularly.

EDIT: I’ll be following everyone I add to this list because I think GW2 streamers need as much publicity and numbers as they can get and I really enjoy watching anyone pvp. I will greatly appreciate anyone following me, especially other streamers and players wishing to learn more about pvp (I’m at the bottom of multiclass).

EDIT2: As the list gets longer, I’d like to trim down the streamers that don’t appear to be active. If you know anyone in this list who has taken a long break, or permenantly stopped streaming GW2, reply here, or PM me and let me know.

Agreed, the setup for Guild Wars 2 PvP is amazing, with skills and traits unlocked from the get go.

However:
Balancing a game around 1v1 does not mean that a game is automatically balanced. Even if theoretically all classes were balanced for 1v1, some classes would still be better than others for teamfighting and support by their very nature.

By the same token, a game does not require 1v1 balance in order to be well balanced. Balance by definition is both teams having an equal chance to win without a mirror match-up, i.e. different builds/classess/whatever. We already have this.
Yes there are very powerful builds and very weak builds, and rangers aren’t in the best spot. But that doesn’t mean the game is unbalanced, as pretty much every viable build has a place, even if that is niche.
I know this isn’t a moba, but if we compare “builds” in GW to “champions” in league of legends, then we can see how this works. League of legends has well over 100 champions, and almost every single one has a slightly different role. Some are weak and some are strong. But they all have a place, and something unique about them that makes them interesting/fun to play/viable. But they don’t have to all be the strongest! Often the strongest champions change with the meta without even direct changes, and previously “weak” champions become the top picks with zero buffs! I feel guild wars isn’t as well balanced as league, but it also isn’t too far off.
The top teams try new things, breaking the metamold and showing something else is viable. Hell, Toxic Communication showed how a full power necro can turn 55HP Monks into mush with the plays.
You can fit many different builds into a team and make something work around it. Some are weak and some are strong atm, but as I said, I think they all have a place. The important thing is that these are dynamic, i.e. capable of change.
So I agree with your last point, but not the means. I appreciate the discussion of balance though, and this is a useful discussion
