Look at whole the trolls, analyzing the OP decision as if they were GOD’S and able to make split sec decisions all the time.
1- OP, I would only advise you to use a meta build if you don’t main the class. If ele is your main or if you have at least 1000 games on ele; then you don’t have to change your build.
2-There is no need for you to feed the troll, Anet know they kittened up this season, ergo they have decided to work on something better in S3.
Go ahead blame the OP, the op might be right/wrong in saying that system kittened him up; but as long as there is a possibility who THE HECK are you to doubt him?? There is no need to scrutinize his gameplay or whatever…
And if anything, top stats prove something since he is a effing HEALER.
Some might say things a tad crudely but they do have a point about many of the mistakes made and the build being sub optimal as well as the system not being the first thing to blame here. There are several legitimate critiques that could greatly improve the odds in the OP favor.
True but I am sorry if they can’t read, my post pretty say, you don’t have to upload vids if you have more than 1000 games on his ele, which the op doesn’t. So it’s not like I said anything different than them, but it takes a brain to get what I meant
… obv. Lots of people didn’t.
I mean take a look at the professions – revs, scrappers, eles, mesmers and reapers are considered meta. Meta will consist of 5 profs if we are taking no-class stacking perspective, simply not room for more. Out of the remaining 4 classes – Druids are in a good spot and can compete with eles for support. A well-played DH is contestant for sure , you can do a lot for the team. That leaves thieves and warriors. A good thief is great for shifting the fight in your teams favour – making those 1v1s into 1v2, 2v2 into 2v3 and so on, and they retain the status of the most mobile profession . And I mean at least the way I see it thieves shouldn’t be frontier fighters, goes against proffesion fantasy. And that only leaves warriors, who once again can do well with a decent build and skill. So what is exactly would you want to happen, since most if not all classes offer viable options? Do you simply want the current meta to turn into wet noodles with no sustain or damage out of spite?
Eles/reaper/scrapper/revs just need to be toned down a bit. Your post is reductio ad absurdum.
However I have seen thieves sans stealth thinking they are warriors and fighting melee.
It’s funny.
Now that’s a thief I wouldn’t mess with… lol … a sight to be revered indeed
As the post have become somewhat popular I’m going to share a few more suggestions that I consider important.
1. “In-Game Small Surveys” with small rewards – Small non-invasive survey system with rewards (small) could make feedback more effective as well as it can also send the message to every players that ANET are really taking us in consideration in their decision making process. It can be by in-game mail or small popup at a SIDE of the screen
2. Urgently need of more maps and game modes for ranked – I understand that ANET is trying to bring fair maps… but hey… playing same 3 maps over and over for years is not the best way to do it. Nor is eliminating the new maps created instead of modifying them (if needed).
3. Don’t eliminate maps from unranked, we need variety (add a filter where players can select, unselect maps) – Unranked should be the relaxing and fun mode of our sPvP as opposite to the more competitive (and stressful) Ranked option. Keeping a good variety of maps at least in unranked helps to extend the lifespan of our sPvP.
4. *Require 50 unranked (profession specific) wins to unlock the ranked option for that profession * – This one doesn’t need much explanation. All I’m going to say is that it is insane to allow inexperienced players to be matched against significantly more experienced players even within their same division. You are forcing most newer players out of the pvp with negative comments. This is not got for anyone regardless of skill lvl.
5. Add a “training boot camp (per class) as a requisite before joining ranked” – Same explanation as point # 4.
About point four; instead of requiring 50 unrank maybe they should only allow tiger or bear to participate in ranks instead of rabbit? As it stand, you only have to be rank 20 to unlock ranks.

Lol , 5 pip for wins .. lol that’s where I stopped reading.
How and why is that less preferable than having an ESL team roll over 500-0, a bunch of new solo players 5 matches in a row?
Having a system designed to create a bad experience for the 25 Solo Q players who have to play the high ranked team so that they gain their 5 pips and move up, benefits nobody.
Because to implement this, Anet wouldn’t have to reset everyone MMR. Like you said someone with a high MMR, which means they won’t be a MMR reset.
I would like to suggest the following very simple matchmaking fix for S3 (or sooner if possible) that addresses the following issues:
1) MMR Tanking (From season 1)
2) The stated aim of getting ‘good’ players out of lower divisions quickly
3) Fixing the terrible S2 matchmakingFirstly abandon the awful s2 matchmaking and reintroduce an algorithm that creates matches of teams of similar MMR’s
Secondly remove the win/loss streak mechanic and replace it with a system that awards an amount of pips for a win based on the players MMR and their current division.
For example:
Amber league players with a high MMR might gain 5 pips per win and would very quickly move up – In emerald this would reduce to 4, 3 in sapphire, reducing to 1 in diamond.
‘Above average’ MMR players would start at 3 in Amber, reducing by one and everyone else would start at 2, reducing to one thereafter.
This system would allow everybody to benefit from once again playing ‘fair’ games against similarly matched opponents, whilst at the same time allowing good players to quickly make their way to the higher divisions.
Average players can make progress and are clearly incentivized to improve their gameplay and MMrR.
I’m sorry but anything that seeks to give an advantage or disadvantage to a player based on past measurement and not current performances is always going to be inherently flawed and unfair. If you are “good” and you matter that much by yourself in a team you will get out fast enough. No need to sugar coat it more.
Maybe you are NOW good because you went through a lot of adversity or maybe things were always easy for you. But what matter at any given moment is how you are NOW not the road you took to get there. So please stop with the let’s manufacture match-up so the past repeats itself. Real life is already sadly invested too much in that paradigm anyway. Let’s build something better in the gaming world at least.
Eloquently put put the fact is that the current matching a system of matching high mmr teams against a low mmr teams does ‘give an advantage or disadvantage to a player based on past measurement’ – I’m just looking for an alternative method that provides a better experience for all.
Yeah, I was alluding to MMR when I said “past measurements”as you well know
I would refer in part to my previous post:
Which is a better system – One where a high level team team rolls over 500-0, a bunch of new solo players 5 awful matches in a row to gain 5 pips
Or one where two high level teams play each other with one gaining 5 pips and the the SoloQ players get to play 5 fair matches to earn theirs?
I see you ve corrected yourself here, forgo ing the current MMR system will fix lots of problems. Trust me we don’t have to give high skilled teams, an advantage; giving everyone a 50/50 chance of winning or losing will fix lots of problem.
