Pretty sure if you leave a match before it’s over, it counts as a loss…

My problem is more than a simple skill/mechanic advises, also I’m way above average as map awareness, and strategic movement.
I’m EU and only Sapphire so the real problem is that my teammates dies like flies most of the time.
Today I played games with the engineer (scrapper-power hammer build) but no matter where I tried to help they just lost horribly on the other CapPoint. 3 games in a row.
at the end game had Top heals to allies, top cleanse to allies, top boons to allies, this 3 tops are acceptable, but also top damage!!!!!
What apps are good for video_caps. Fraps not the best option for me, the game itself became laggy I don’t know why. I also want some replays so I can study my mistakes.

i’m in my sapphire 16/25 US myself and yes, i kinda noticed that most of the better players have graduated into ruby or higher, i also noticed that the players on both teams kinda go down very quickly as well.

do you play other professions besides scrapper?

nowadays i play reaper myself and seem to do okay with it.

in where i am, since everyone goes down quickly, it is better to do more damage and get them down quickly instead of trying to play support.

having a support in your team is a must, at least 1 druid or 1 ele. players who cant adapt to enemy comp will have a hard time at ruby or diamond.

of course my win rate is low, I play all classes to get the achievements, even if I am horrible at them. But currently I play on my good classes and the MMR ruined everything.

8 of your last 10 games were on Necromancer, the class in which you by far have the lowest win rate with.

what website are you using to check win rate or mmr this season?

He cant. You can only check lifetime winrate (so over 3 years in my case). MMR cannot be looked up at all.

checking win/rate in a course of 3 years is dumb, because it includes loses while u were learning the class and also games where u are testing build and just messing around. if only theres a webiste who can calculate win/rate or mmr only during season.

This is a great topic and I’d like to hear what other ideas people have that could incentive league play in a system where division matches skill level.

allowing more item to be purchase by shard of glory will help pvper a lot. and will increase pvp players in making some gold and also getting some exclusive pvp items. honestly i think the gw2 reward stracture must be overhauled. if pve players have access to legendary weapon and armor, dedicated pvp or wvw players should be able to make one also. ( better if this legendary weapons and armor have unique skins depend what mode they got acquired. ) increase prestige.

Celeras.4980:

You probably grinded through checkpoints with a poor winning percentage, have a low MMR, and therefore get others with a low MMR. Those who actually belong in Ruby will be at an advantage. Unfortunately you are a victim of the inability to fall to where you actually belong. Working as intended, though.

If you feel I am mistaken feel free to provide your PvP API key for analysis.

is this intended for me? i actually breeze through last tier ruby in 4 days and like i said got stuck. doesnt help that i consider myself a competitive casual, only play 2 hrs on weekdays and more on weekend. during season 1 make it to legendary in 3 weeks, but i think season 2 is more forgiving to solo players and only took me 2 weeks to legendary.

Question to you:

Do you not think the game’s algos are absolutely kittenED UP when you get the same ppl over and over again, but end up in losing team 95% of the time ?

They are never but in the nmy team, they ALWAYS end up in your very own team.
Even though everyone in the match is solo-queued …..

honestly i think its better than season 1 MM. but thats me. i remember asking myself sometimes and wondering why 1 game im team-up with good players then the next game they still in the same team while im at the losing team? if they at my mmr level should we be in the same team if well all Q together again? also i think the main reason theres a big losing streak is when players played during off peak hours, the MM cant find enough players with same or close mmr to u.

for those who like to pvp and stuck in MMR hell (ruby) a few advice. (this what i did)

1) once you started having a losing streak 3+ stop Qing and wait for 6+mins before Qing again. this to prevent the system from matching u with the same people who’s helping lose games. i was stuck for 3 days last tier of ruby (playing agianst diamond) before i made it. and stuck for 4 days at last tier diamond. (playing against legendary) yes MMR hell is real so dont give up.

2) learn to play at least 2 class, support (druid/ele) or DPS (reaper/scrapper/revenant//DH. chrono. thief). this will help u adjust to enemy comp. also your team comp to better raise your chance of winning.

ps: sorry warriors i didnt include you. (although i seen few good warrior at diamond and legendary.

please make it when u get moa u stay moa the whole game pls anet! i mean moving while moa kills u because of the torment attach to you by the condi mesmer.

there’s what a month more for diamond players to get to legendary? and most of them will quit playing and do some pve coz why keep playing? u dont get anything once u get to legendary? i know i wont beside doing dailys which i dont care if i win or lose.

S1 is very bad, in terms of balance and MM. (5 man premade vs all solo) not to mention smurfing, taking advantage of the pip system boosting players to legendary.

S2 is not perfect but now more forgiving to soloQ players which i like. and lack of unkillable bunkers make the game fun. also the short Qs makes it all better.

when even pro mesmer players saying moa is OP, mean they are wrong right? i seen comment from people to l2p or stop QQing or why ele has 13k hp lmao! just shows the ignorance of the moa is ok crowd :S

condi mesmer with double moa will wipe ur team at mid. imagine as ele with 13k hp u get moa, u try to press 5 skill to run only to find u have 15 stack of torment u die trying to survive? balance i guess. when bunker got nerf, getting moa during fight even 1v1 will be the end of u. unless t he mesmer sucks lol

i think with all the power creep, specially with hot, the lord and its guard need to have stronger dps and higher HP. i as a reaper can solo the lord without killing any of its guards.

dont play off peak hours, i tried playing during those time and i accumulated a losing streak, i should have been in diamond 5 days ago :S

this suggestion lol, imagine all the double capping, all the going for beast kill, down tagging, fighting off points for kill, and solo lord kill just to be the top score. you didnt think this through huh?

go play at sapphire and ruby where everyone is at atm, u will feel the salt. then u know ur playing at your right division.

after this year the backpack will still be available but will be more expensive. they will add new items for us to spend tickets after this season is over and 2 more season.

people reach legendary +13 in EU and +9 in NA so yeah people already compelted those achievement and just doing the 15 daily games.

yes, very likely. also this time no more players getting carried by bunker mesmers. i seen few warriors at amber and emerald then they banished when i reach sapphire. RIP my poor warriors.

kitten all these sapphire players arguing lmao

anets idea of hard content is by making easy things timegated so they dont have to make new things for us to do right away.

played against 5 necro team yesterday rekt them, played with 4 necros earlier rekt them. bad players will copy paste necro build from metabattle assuming the will facerolled everyone, then they fight against good players or play against players who really played necro and they complain why they keep losing.

so earlier we have ranger pvp daily so i Qued up and fought a team with 2 druid, we manage to down one of their teammate, then 1 druid teleport the body so we chase it only to be teleported again by the other druid and get ressed. how is this ok anet when the down player get teleported almost halfway across the map.

ummm NO if u keep losing your mmr will tank and u will be paired with players with low mmr meaning u will paired with players who has no clue how to play. even if your decent other 4 in your team will prevent you from winning.

i just wanna say also that this matchmaking is great. alot of close matches like only 100 points gap. every now and then a huge gap but thats expected when ur team wipe and snowball.

just because u have a bad games doesnt mean everyone else too. maybe practice more.

yes + or – your division. u can get p[aired with saphire or amber

everyone is at amber and emerald atm, its like a marathon when everyone at the start and the good players start running fast and all is left at the end are bad players

looking at your SS, you barely have any games/exp in you to be complaining why u losing. maybe its not your team its u?

i see a lot of players bandwagon to reaper because they think its OP, then they fought against real necro players and actually decent players and get destroyed.

so for those who already reach legendary during season 1, we already have our back piece and just finishing up the achievement. so what else do can we get for season 2? just a new title? put something there that we can buy like some weapon skins or those pvp armor skins removed long time ago.

is there new rewards for us to spend our tickets? weapon or armor perhaps? how bout new title? why is there no info?

Season 1 is nothing but mesmer. That only bout a month ago. Also warrior says welcome to the club, at least u get to be useful during season 1. When u say dragonhunters rul season 1, u sounded like u never reach diamond. U barely see dh at diamond+ only revs, ele, scrapper, and druid.

no offense but what are u smoking? i want some.
season 1: i see legendary division DH, druid, tempest, reaper, scrapper, chronomancer, and herald. 7 class out of 9. thief and war weakest link. (not all but most)
season 2: i can predict DD, herald, scrapper, reaper, druid, DH. 6 out of 9. tempest, chrono, and war as weakest link.

please anet make this happen to fix warior lol

he now plays rev and thief lmao he misses hambow

gunflame burst pierces, but anyway berserker gunflame is a gimmick build its more of wvw sniping than spvp. also the animation is so easy to tell, he goes RED and HE KNEEL for 2 secs i mean really? i press V = GG

IMO DH is the most brain dead class today, i mean spam your traps and forget? but also against legendary even diamond players, DH traps or burst can easily be avoided. making DH useless and a rally bot for others. dont wanna say its a L2P issue but u gotta learn to play around and counter other class. from last meta if theres classes didnt get touch are scrappers and reaper. and warrior not being in any pvp meta since hot release also sucks. no other game is there a warrior unplayable than in gw2.

to enter ranked u only have to be rank 20 which not much at all. i also like the to play the other maps for once and not take it seriously and just laugh at newbies playing. maybe the problem is you come to unranked and assume that everyone knows what to do. heck thats rare in ranked match too. just few more weeks and season 2 starts, most legendary division guys are doing other stuff like pve or wvw.

you can be in ESL but you will not be winning championship soon.

just because the system forces you to have 50% w/l rate doesnt mean you have to, having for example 51% win rate and enough games will get you from amber to legendary during season 1 and for that matter any season.

Logan will die

i dont like nerfing but scrapper have insane sustain and dps atm. they took everything from a warrior :*(

reroll to a scrapper = GG

yeah NO, please dont speak for all of us.

scrubs need to learn and play more than 1 class. i mean how do they even know what the other class is doing if they dont know how it works?

does this title only achievable during s1? will there be a diff. title for s2?

sucks to be you, you should have played more early or played more before it ends if you so wanted to get to legendary. thats a fail on you’re part
