today we repeatedly went against this group of really bad turret engis. we found that rampager warrior works very well considering they have 1 long cd stun break and rely on cc
you should improve against them until you can dominate them.. then your mmr will raise. as long as youre trading games/fights/duels with these people your mmr wont, and shouldnt, rise
Those other teams just don’t learn after getting spanked week after week.
I don’t even watch this, but if Abjured does same thing or whatever week after week you’d think they’d learnt by now.
You’re completely right. All the teams should just not join any tournament the Abjured are in, what’s the point? Or we should just cancel them all and give the Abjured a year worth prizes. And when we’re at it we should just cancel pvp because they keep winning. Or how about…not. Why shouldn’t they try to get better? Why shouldn’t they try to beat them? You make no sense. The pvp community wants to increase the competition, not make it absolute zero.
As people pointed out you were wrong about the rest of your statements.
You’re right, but the thing is you can’t defeat The abjured lmao.
I disagree but there hasnt been a team with 5 great players besides abjured (theres always an anchor on a team, sometimes many)
Abjured can be beaten. I think that if people figure out abjured’s strats, which is rush far every game, they could be countered. I also think a mes/thief comp will be the only comp to beat them, and NA isn’t exactly full of mes/thief comps right now. EU is running a TON of mes/thief comps right now so I think they have a good chance. After all, if abjured plays a 3 point game, what better comp is there then to have a 2 man death squad that can kill any d/d ele or cele engi in seconds and can be anywhere on the map due to thief mobility and portal?

You new school?
is actually one of the weakest teams in this tourny, although theres a chance we could take 2nd since its POSSIBLE to trade games with DoD and the rest of them

just now got a 150-500 game and I was on my alt warr, yet the people on my team were unbelievable. (They lost 100% [yes literally 100%] of even fights the entire game). Freaking crazy how that matchup happened.
(full solo v full solo)
just got a really bad 4 (2+2?) with me vs a 2q + solos and we got destroyed. was embarassing how bad the people on my team were and im not sure how that matchup happened.
guardian is still going to eat the first 2 seconds of slick shoes even if we have VoC off cd (twice the cd than slick shoes btw) so I would say guardian will get completely kittened by it way more often than most classes
and just got 500-60d by a 4-premade (all decent players with mmr around mine) in a full soloq team, all of which werent even r80 (definitely low mmr players)
Moobs! You’re killing me here. The forums displays post date in relative time and isn’t accurate enough to be useful. Be kind, post time.
1. If you clue “About an hour ago” it will show you the exact time
2. How did you write my name without it getting censored??/?

there are a lot of people in gasm but the vast majority are not very good, although several of their members do form teams occasionally that do decently
lol at the dolyaks and rabbit ranks thinking they know how lord works.
bullets right though it needs a serious buff, freaking insane how soloing lord is EASIER than soloing svanir for me, even though there’s a 125 point difference.
Watch movement patterns and try to adjust as in if theyre moving towrads the right of you, move left and turn your camera to the right. Sometimes you have to be really really fast with camera movement, but I still miss probably 10% of my melee-range ray of judgements so its really just something you need to work on.
And the .75s cast time is probably necessary considering how OP the skill is imo. (just dont add an obvious animation )
You have 60% uptime on vigor and dual energy sigils if you cant dodge every grenade you probably need to l2p the freaking game rofl.
Also just stand just aoe the turrets down with autos since its so easy to do.
Smite isn’t as strong as GS symbol or WW, but it’s harder to see, is ground targeted up to 1200 range, and has much less downtime. People often underestimate it.
Smite is not an AoE. Each of the 16 hits that go down in the target area can only hit one target so it basicly becomes less effective the more targets there are. :<
The main thing scepter has over sword is the 2s imob that is pretty much not dodgeable. If you think that scepter was underwhelming you probably wasted your imob a lot and just used it to hit smite or something.
The imob is basicly your only way besides pull and teammates CCing stuff of hitting decent players with whirling wrath. It’s also a good way to secure hitting smite condi, leap of faith or telegraphed stuff from your teammates.
Also having two melee weapons means that you either go all in on somebody or you’re doing no damage at all.
That being said in some situations/matchups sword can be better than scepter, there is some stuff that doesn’t really care about the imob (warriors with dogged march, rangers with s/d) and stuff where range won’t really help you and you want to stay close to them all the time anyways (mesmers, s/f eles) and sometimes having one port more can really help to get on a point before it’s decapped or to stay on a kiting target in a teamfight or just for general mobility if your team gives you targets to port to.
If scepter wouldn’t have this sik imob I would probably play GS sw/f aswell.
Inb4 Mooobs disagrees with everything I said. Aparently writing his name with three Os works.
nah bra scepter is better in teamq setting overall, the only time I run sword is if Im on duty for hunting down a squishy class that I counter (s/f ele, necro, mesmer, thief etc) since sword trains better and counters their vertical teleports (or just carrying soloq).
its just that if I play scepter I might as well run the hammer spec since theres a lot more team fight oriented kitten on that build
Interupt mantra up?
Cast ZD or WW and instantly cancel cast and laugh as no chaotic interuption procs.
Then immediately go ham on auto attacks
Repeat until mantra is completely depleted and just go ham some more.
Ok now Ill answer your questions on the 3 builds you mentioned
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you’re about to face a Mesmer?
Shatter – Hopefully not open field, I have the advantage when able to use LoS (when running sword/focus gs).
CI: Do I know the mesmer? Do they spam mantras or wait for animations? Regardless I dont actually attack until you burn your power lock. I usually will bait WW+ cancel as if you think im going to JI into you and then after you use a mantra I’ll just burst with symbol autos or BB autos.
Condi: Is it super lame bunker condi or shatter condi? Bunker mantra condi I should probably not engage. Shatter condi is easy as I just dodge shatters as normal and blind sword 3s.
How do you feel about your odds of winning?
Shatter: 95%
CI: 80%
Condi Shatter: 95%
Condi Bunker: 10%
Strategies and tactics?
Opening with RoJ+ JI + Sword autos is usually the best opener for all 3. Dodge mirror blades and shelter BF shatters or just shatters I dont have a dodge for. BB when they enter stealth cuz they usually dont have a dodge. Land every smite condition, train with sword autos, usually I win.
Which type of Guard build do you feel best fights Mesmer?
Sw/f GS is probably the best build vs mesmer.
What Guard skills (weapon or utility) are most important to have in this fight?
RoJ, smite condition, BB. If you land these every time you will win almost every time.
How do you feel about Mesmer in general?
Countered by guardian.
try to focus on the mesmer/necro OUTSIDE the cleave. thats where sword medi guardian really shines, you counter the mesmer/necro and they cant stand on point either. So put faith in your teammates to deal with the rest of the team, and make a play yourself killing that mes/necro off point on your own.
This patch honestly didnt change anything… I usually dont complain about those ridiculous patches but this is the biggest joke i ever saw since literally nothing changed xD
I`m a lame turret engi.
I join unranked arena with 5 vs 5 solo players.
The preparation for the game starts. We have 1 minute.
During that time I check my regional and language settings because I want to add a language to the keyboard. I mess the things bad and I delete the whole keyboard list. I press with the mouse the icon of the game and try to move …… nothing happens. I can only activate skills with mouse.
The game starts. Kyhlo map. I can`t move.
My team is doing great and is equal to the enemy team.
I know that I should help.
Press 5. Jump a few meters. Wait for the CD.
The goal was to reach the close cap and load the turrets.
5jump 5jump 5jump
We lost 400 – 500.
QQ
now you know holding down left click and right click at the same time will move you
If flawless victories have more points people like noscoc would have 300-400 points in 100 games
Oh ya… Sure… Like I said before, mine was a solo que vs solo que.
Wasn’t a premade vs solo que.
Also, I doubt he gets many if any flawless victories against other premades. Probably 1 or 2 tops.
They should, and I’m assuming they do, if you lose by other team flawless victory over you, you should lose just as many points, as in -2 or -3. Should be incentive to keep playing and try instead of throwing in the towel at the moment game begins.
Haha don’t quote me but I would bet 90% at least of abjured teamqs are 500 0
