Guild Wars 2

The challenge in diamond league is to get a match especially when you solo queue. I spend more time for queue-ing than playing.

This is so outrageous. Created 6 divisions without enough player at the upper division. Probably just delete 1 division or correct the matchmaking algorithm. Some ruby player are good, I don’t mind playing with them(if they are around my mmr). There is already mmr constraint, you can probably just adjust the division constraint.

Ruby was a lot of fun for me. 7-8 minutes queue with many skillful players aka close matches. Diamond takes 15m+ or sickening 1hour+ queue to get a game. And most of the time you get pug vs premade.

If this was true then people wouldnt complain about facing premades and certain players wouldnt be so dominate even solo queing.

Huh?
Premades often doesn’t win because they are better skill wise, but because often they have:
a) better team composition (moar meta)
b) experience of playing together
c) voice communcation
…those things doesn’t make premades better skill wise, yet they let them win more than they deserve.

say what you want but this game does have a skill level and there is a understanding of which you need to have to be successful. Also if i say grab the best players you know and you and ask you can you beat the 8 esl teams from your server? If you can say yeah we can ill say your right sir this game takes no skill. If you say you cant then this game takes skill.

You can say this game takes less skill then it did before HOT, you can say it takes less skill and compare it to something else but saying it doesnt take skill/understanding/ the things you suggest since they are excuses some times and legitimate reasons the other to play the game is asinine.

Not to be an kitten but in higher tier MMR you’ll be facing much more competent players and warriors are non-existent simply because they lack the utilities to exist in high tier sPvP. For example: when I was Qing with my team in ranked we faced former ESL team Radioactive back to back and they swapped their warrior out (who is probably one of the best in NA even before HoT). High tier sPvP is simply bout maintaining two points or to just completely out-rotate your opponents, mechanical skill is pretty much non-existent due to the amount of bunker there and low skill cap these meta builds have.

you mean you will face people like caed? If you wish to continue please go ahead

Ha3 he even took an amber….

I agree. Ruby is still acceptable. Diamond is madness

I feel your pain…. I don’t know what to do.

Queue time at diamond is too long. If I’m in luck, I can get 15m queue time. When I was in ruby, my normal queue time is 7/8 minutes.

I can’t even blame people queueing with people from lower division since it makes sense to do so. The queue time is as long as a game.

I made it to diamond by playing soloqueue as a reaper.
Just by trying to win all your 1v1s and trying to make most of the calls.
Also just tryharding + drawing everything on the minimap.

Never had more than 4 losses in a row I guess. The last 7 pips took like 25+ games I guess which was a pain..

Yeah around the last 10 pips was the hardest. Win lose win lose like a loop

Matchamking always trying to kitten you up towards the end. Thats my experience from all divisions pretty much and what i experience now. Was 7 pips away from legendary and now im 15 away.. it pairs me with such trash kittenter mesmers or hammer rev.. Legit.

Yeah I can relate. The last two tiers is the hardest in every division in my experience. Kitten matchmaking.

I just got diamond too. Full solo queue. the last 2 tier is the hardest. At tier 4 ruby I kept winning and losing multiple times.

6 pips away and I keep winnind and losing. I think my w/l ratio is around 50% . It’s really rough as solo-queuer.

maybe I need to take a sapphire/emerald player. or playing stronghold instead0.

So, If we win 2 pips, does it mean our opponent for the game lose 2 pips?
