Guild Wars 2

I rly believe my mmr is bugged, there’s no other way.

If I SoloQ = 70-80% matches a reblowouts (mostly loss ofc LEL)
If I DuoQ = 90% or more matches are blowouts and lost

Thats another one of my problems is my teammates usually can’t focus anyone down from enemy team. They are attacking every player, everyone attack someone else then none dies from enemy team, just my teammates or they dont care about me in teamfight they just let me get ganked by 2-3-4 don’t even try to help or use cc or something.

Thats when it feels like im playing with beginner AI bots.

I know how you feel man, almost every single match I got those guys as teammates and opponents. (not all of them)

I see alot still turning character with keyboard, just such a painfull sight rofl

Thats what happens when everyone and their mothers can get to ruby. All they need is time. The matches are not enjoyable, thats why i only do 3 matches a day. When you go from having matches before leagues, where people knew basics, to leagues where you get people who play how the pvp community did 2012 its not fun anymore. PvP is just aggrivating and ive come to the point where i feel gw2 pvp is not for me anymore due to mentioned reasons.

As a guildie of mine said and I agree;
- they should have a pre-season to determine your "real’ league
- they should remove the tier protection from Amber-Sapphire because as it is now, Ruby is just a bottleneck for better players being stuck with ppl who just farmed their way into Ruby, since Sapphire you cant lose tiers

Yup I started afk once its 200-50 and all points are capped. I did tell Anet clearly in a post I would if they let this matchmaking go forth.

FYI, Ive been stuck in ruby hell for 14 days now. Going from t2 to t5 back and forth.
And I’m playing alot of games.

Doesnt matter if SoloQ or DuoQ, something seems to be wrong with my matchmaking.

The issue?
- Ppl forced playing specs for achievement (this is true, Ive had matches where ppl said in teamchat they have no idea how to play their spec but need to do it for achievements. This is punishing ppl who worked very hard for their pips, like me)
- People don’t know what that red target means above an enemy head.
I would start to think that new players actually mean they shouldnt be attacking this target and ignore it (yes, I get alot of those in my team aswel)
- Ppl who don’t see the point in making the target as its “deathmatch” anyway (yes, I had 2 ppl literally say that in teamchat)
- can go on and on…

Those are teammates I get so I’m absolutely sure something is bugged somewhere.
70% of my matches are blowout so saying they’re close to my level is simply put wrong.

Weird thing for me to say but although the previous season matchmaking also gave blowouts, it was much less than it is now.

Not to forget alot of ppl, including myself, are just afk’ing at some point because there’s no point to continue. This is not our fault.

We are not the ones putting together the teams, Anet is.
FYI: Anet considers a point difference of 250 or more a blowout so yes, 70% of my matches are “blowouts”.

I think the chat says enough.

I’ve been Ruby for 13 days now and I keep having loss after loss after loss.
Versus ppl totally not on my level.

Why? Because Anets lets it happen.
You’re making ppl insane and frustrated with your very bad policy about changing season stuff only after season.

You should try to save your game more often instead of making new mobs for Xpac2.
You’re the ones making alot of players toxic and destroying the pvp community.

Get a grip.

- Scrapper
- Scrapper
- Tempest Aura
- Condi Mesmer
- Power Rev

Impossible to beat in SoloQ. Once they get 2 points, its over.

Despite the fact 3/5 of them are using DPS amulets, they can bunk better than any clerics can while giving support.

I find it rly wrong you wait till seasons are over to jump in and do your think (buff/nerf).

It’s simply wrong letting us die.

Phil.8901:

Compared to last season, queue time is really shorter now.

Probably the best improvement they made in this season.

IN return they just gave worse matches LUL

Evan Lesh.3295:

Queue times were greatly reduced across the board, but ranked arena can always have longer queues if you climb the ladder faster than other people.

3-5 minutes of queue, been stuck in ruby for 12 days now for teammates/opponents totally not on my level.

Thanks for making me frustrated <3

JayAction.9056:

Patrick.2987:

So u think this mobility, survivability and dmg is balanced? No other class can be that strong in all 3 aspects, so reduce at least one of them.

Thief
Mesmer

Are we done now?

Are you actually saying Thief has alot of survivability?
Go and play one lol.

Why would we waste time on a lost match?
What’s the difference for players losing 500-350 or 500-20?

Well… since you lose, why not losing it to gain some MMR?

If you lose at 400 or more and the opponent team got higher MMR than you, you are raising it.

To goes out of MMR hell you all need to lose closed matches. If not… well GL HF losing more games.

It was easier to work on MMR when it was used for BOTH team. Now since it’s only on your team… it’s way harder to raise it.

At least, lose your matches better to have your only way out of that low mmr… or play with people who want to play with you to stop complaining about MM.

There is no such thing as MMR right now.
It’s more based on Div and amount of pips.

MMR is still taken into account for your team.

As I edited above; it’s a lie or its not functioning like it should.
Players who:

- dont know how targeting works (they literally ask me how)
- dont see the point in putting a target
- dont see its conquest where capturing points is vital
- dont see its bad sending 2 to beast in Forest at start

shouldnt not be matched with me yet this happens.

80-90% of the players (my own estimation) sollely care about the pips.
loss = 1 pip loss
win = 1 or 2 pips gain

That’s it. There’s no more “lets do our best to get 350 so we can still get 1 pip or worst case scenario not lose a pip at all for achieveing good score”.

That was unfortunately a wrong decision.

Cyhann.2609:

Why are they green all of a sudden? It’s a bit confusing since green tags did only happen in special situations.

I agree but I think its to remove the fact ppl would only help their guildies instead of helping everyone, aka guildies AND pugs in teamfights.

If you throw a game in the first few minutes of the match, that just makes you not good enough to carry bad decisions of your teammates.

Please do tell me how to carry a team going 1v4 on far while leaving close/mid open?
I really can’t wait for your answer.

Senpai-sama.

Cap close, see if enemy team rushes far to help or if they try to get close, if they do… either hold close or go cap mid – depending on situation

Thing is… Im talking about the first few minutes of the match, as I stated above. Its not gonna be 50-400 after 4 minutes.

So yeah, throwing a match after first push makes you a pretty bad player.

How can I cap mid if they have 4 players to divide between close-mid and they got 1 zerged by 4 of my teammates at far?

Senpai pls.

And yes I know but some matches are literally like I said above; they are over in just 5mins like in Foefire. 615-40 etc

Honestly, it’s like Engineers are always gettting the best stuff and are always OP in every single meta.. I wonder why

I have to admit I afk matches since a few days ago which are utterly lost. No point in pretending I can still win while Anet is allowing this piece of shet matchmaking.

1) Pre-Seasons to avoid Stompfest in first weeks of Season
2) Minimum 4 different classes per team in Ranked
3) More periodic nerfs/buffs to utterly broken/obvious stuff that needs to be fixed (this will eventually show the real pro players instead of ppl getting carried by broken mechanics, eg Rev/Scrapper) along with more PvP-oriented updates.
4) Add Tutorial explaining what Conquest is
5) Have a bootcamp for beginners untill they reach 250 ranked games (separate league where they only face players in the same league)

brannigan.9831:

I like this season just fine thanks although to make it better I would have people start out based on there league placement from the year before. Also, maybe tighten the mmr spread a little for your teammates. If you think last season was better then this one I totally disagree and so do most of my friends in game are we not elite players just guys that mostly duo or triple queue with some solo mixed in.

Weird but prev season was alot better for me, comparing the average skill-level of both teammates and opponents. (eventhough it was still bad and this form of matchmaking is better, just poorly executed/not thought through)

Now it’s just every single “just-out-of-Sapphire” ppl I get.
Sapphire is just easy-farm since you’re not losing tiers.

This is creating a bottleneck in Ruby where good players are stuck with ppl who are new/not that good and because of that stuck in Tier 1 -Tier 2. Atleast 25% of my PvP guild is stuck right there: Ruby T1 – T2.

I think something needs to be done about that aswel.

I like having a pre-season where your starters-league is decided or something.

Before I’m going to AFK every single match due Anet’s lack of care about matchmaking, something needs to be done.

I’ve been in Ruby for 10 days now, playing every single day.
I’m stuck kitten, once I got to T3 but immediatly lost all pips back to T1.

Why do u think putting ppl with much more hours/games/experience in pvp together with ppl have no clue what they’re doing?

With all due respect to new players, but you don’t belong with better/experienced players; you either get stomped by better players or you get carried hard.
I’m not a pro but atleast I kittening know its Conquest and not team zergmatch.

Today lost both matches I played we should’ve easily won, as the opponents were far below my level. Yet my team manages to lose 61 – 500 and another match we won every single teamfight and still lost because no1 cared about capping.

This is disgusting and something should be done about it. Dont wait till 19th of April.

If this doesnt get fixed soon, i’ll just have to AFK every match like many other ppl do.

You got dazed? HAVE SOME STAB
Someone was a bully and knocked you over? HAVE SOME STAB
Congrats on your Gyro, HAVE SOME STAB.

Despite the clearly sarcastic tone, I guess that this is the truth. Right now every meta build has everything, dodges, invuln, stab, cc, damage reduction modifiers.. too much going on, too much power creep.

Nerf everything down to warrior level.

Why is everyone saying everyone got stability lol..

Guess my thief must be bugged!

And now my screen has my morning coffee on it, thanks for the laugh

Sorry, I guess my meta-thief is stuck in progress.

Been stuck in ruby T1 for 5 days now. It’s like a force is stopping me going beyond 3 pips into T1. Wtf happened?

Funny ppl don’t even bother checking the previous posts the OP made to see he’s joking now..

sigh

Been stuck in Ruby T1 for 3 days straight now.
Went Amber – Sapphire in just a few hours pvp’ing with nothing else than win-streaks.

Ruby SoloQ is impossible. Prev season was much better somehow.

RIP SoloQ GUISIE

Tomiyou.3790:

Lol, these comments. Now I understand why Anet probably don’t even read forums anymore. Writes a post about the gameplay being not as fun as it use to, people respond with L2P and you forgot this OP class.
And he is right, you know it. Build diversity is pretty bad.

Build Diveristy IS bad but when ur naming those OP, u shouldnt forget that one who’s the 4th in the meta.

geekilo.8512:

I’m not talking about the matchmaking. I’m talking about build diversity, and top tier OP classes – reaper, revenant and scrapper and then everything else are trash. It’s not fun to pvp anymore and yet Anet failed to see what is wrong with these top tier classes.

You forgot Tempest.

Or maybe you didn’t because you are an Ele.
Ele has sick survivability. 2v1

Second time, yesterday once aswel: queue’ing as guild team makes our team’s clients crash and stuck in Match in Progress-fase.

Would love to see a fix

thanks

Ray Patrick.7843:

@jetwing – you should be good to go now.

Ray

2nd time, yesterday aswel: queue’ing as guild makes our game crash at map selection and no1 of our team can join the match.

Hmmm… That’s not about MMR but matchmaking itself.

I have to say that letting the skill going through some walls/edges is quite overboard and OP. Mostly happens at Legacy where the downed gets “pulled” through the ledges on both sidepoints.

I’m ok with the teleport.
I’m not ok when it’s going through stuff.

Just tried queue’ing with 5 seems to be bugged for me:

Whole team just got queue-pop and got kicked from the match without even getting in.
We can’t enter/leave queue because it says “Match in Progress”.

While we’re not in the match but stuck in HoTM.

After 2mins we could queue but now the game crashed of every 5 players in my team.

After we all logged in, we’re still in “Match in Progress” and cant do anything.

And my character still stutters when moving.. 2 bugs in one :p

RIP

Lexander.4579:

3 revs + 2 scrappers + stronghold queue = legendary week 1

Add a reaper somewhere to make it “challenging” :>

Run Revenant/Reaper/Scrapper/Auramancer and spam ranked = Profit!

Thief players like me will have to play double or more the game to get there while being flamed for playing cuz diversity is for weaklings.

skullfaerie.7203:

Inb4 they throw something random together and patch it in after an hour or so claiming it was being held back on purpose. It’s probably in the works right now

Warrior:

- Made it able to log into PvP
- Made it able to respawn

XxsdgxX.8109:

Didn’t think this place could get any more cancerous, wow I’m amazed with you people.

By all means; if you’re playing a class which is still meta/optimal, you wouldn’t understand the ppl waiting for months already since HoT to be optimal with their main-classes (aka Thief/Warriors and now Mesmers aswel).

But Cynz, that would imply they are the hero

After the update of today, my characters are stuttering on my screen.

Everything else on the screen is not stuttering , except my character (when moving)
Running 64bit Client fyi

- Tried to relog
- Tried to restart

When using movement skills, there is no character-stutter.
It’s only when running.

Like here, they literally said “minor balance tweaks”

Okay, but it isn’t “minor balache” just a “minor fixed” tweak.

Exactly, which is my point.
I’m disgusted with this.

Where’s the minor balance tweaks you promised us in the official Guild Wars 2 post?

I’ve uploaded the screenshot here so you’ll see.
Tooltips fixes or just fixes arent balance tweaks.

Now I can wait for months again to play my mains Thief/Warrior, without having to worry about being optimal for my team or.

Oh and get flamed on because my main-classes arent viable again / still

Still waiting for:

- Rev survivability shave
- Scrapper survivability shave
- Druid Pet (Bristleback) Damage
- DH’s Elite Trap invisible bug (which is really gamebreaking and still not fix?)

Thank you

Like here, they literally said “minor balance tweaks”

Hahahahaha, this is a joke!!!! HAHAHAHAHA
They even said they would implent small balances!!! MHUAHAHAHA!

Thanks for making me feel miserable for the coming months AGAIN, Anet!
4 specs META AGAIN! Diversity is for noobs! GJ Anet!

Oh no Thieve’s and necro’s got buffs and now you’re seeing them more often in matches, since people are abusing the new 3 month yolo program...so surprising.

Fixed that for you.

Whats there to abuse on Thieves? They’re weak as kitten (compared to meta) and not part of the meta.
Guess you didn’t watch Pro Leagues.

Ppl should be glad when facing teams with a Thief or 2, easier to win. Just make sure you got 1 Rev. All you need to squash both Thieves.

I do not get the whole rev thing. i play thief, maybe 1 in 20 revs beats me in 1v1 and im not exactly the best player on that field.
Its a safe win if im running condi, still an easy win on power. Either each and every good rev is fighting in the pro leagues, or we are simply hardcountering them.
And btw: we are still faster, no matter what you say, you cant outrun a thief.

Bc thief has all neccesary tools to beat rev.
50% slow uptime which crits for 4k each? Check <Op as kitten btw.
Pressuring rev in Shiro bc his healing ability is crap? Check
Enough evades to avoid the most important attacks? Check
Glint heal useless vs anyone with brain in 1v1? Check
Can kite rev between attacks? Check

Bc Rev has all the necessary tools to beat thief.
Tons of blocks? Check
Launch and forget heal? Check (you can just presume a thief’s attack and activate it)
Enough teleport to perma chase Thief around till downed in teamfight? Check (Revs makes the thief utiltize all their ini just to stay alive)
Can kite 2v1 on point (contest)? Check
Revealed? Check
Close to equal DPS? Check
Boons? Check

A rev has an easier time killing a thief, be it 1v1 or teamfight. If a thief can beat you, that’s because you made alot of mistakes.
Thieves cannot make errors. If they do, just 1, they’re dead.
Rev is much more casual and less punishing due its amount of blocks, evades, dps, heals (which are insane strong in teamfights).

You havent faced a decent Rev yet. Also, Revs can do ANYTHING better than Thief in teamfights.

There’s a reason why top thieves rerolled to Rev

With one-hit I meant it can erase 70-80% of my thief’s HP-pool. In that time the ranger can also use its LB or GS to do some AA’s while I’m stunned from his wepswap/utility.
Basically for me thats being one-hit as it only took one burst.

Almost everything erases that amount of hp from a thiefs hp pool if the thief doesnt dodge, bandit defence, interrupt or some other method to avoid dmg though :P.

Terrorsquad.4802:

Please don’t be that guy taking every single word seriously.

Exaggaration can make something a sensitive topic.
I believe its better to be a bit more careful with choice of words, regarding these balance issues.

No it doesnt. There are very few of such skills able to do such damage in short time.

Having a pet doing the same amount of damage like those few skills is broken and bad.
And its not like a Thief has endless dodges/blocks.

There’s a reason why Thief wasnt at Pro League.
It feels every single spec (outside warrs/mesmers) are countering thieves. Be it 1v1 or teamfights.

And I really don’t want to jump on the bandwagon and play a spec I really dont enjoy, like Revenant.

Those OP’ness stated above is just making the pvp matches make very toxic. Every team is now running 2 Revenants, 2 Scrappers and an Ele. Great.

Where were those double scrapper teams?

The rules only allowed doubling up with a single class, and they chose revenants.

Meaning there were no double scrapper teams.
So the OP shouldnt create a picture as if there were.

Again, pls read the whole forum where I said (2 times already): where did I say I was talking about Pro League exclusively? I know you’re all protecting your babies but something gotta happen.

Rev being a worse version of scrapper, yet gets doubled up in pro league and not scrapper, so its unlikely that rev is a worse version in all those mentioned areas.

With Rev “being worse” I meant it’s even more broken than Scrapper.
In other words, the balance of Rev is even worse than that of Scrapper.

I’m also not coming across perma 2rev/2scrappers/1ele teams, ofcourse.
Again, dont take everything so seriously.
But yes, 2 revs/2scrappers are a hype. And it might come a thing depending if a team is getting a necro or not.

Yes Reaper also needs to be looked at, sure.
But it’s not as bad as the above stated facts.
