My progress stoped at ruby?! I teamed up once in ruby, at 26 pips, tier 6… You really don’t read?! Then I got 28 pips with trio-team, and I got my diamond solo. After I reached diamond I always team up, so what?! Every freaking diamond and legendary player duo-trio… if they do it, you why shouldn’t?! I should cry like you guys?!
Or what? Anet will not make changes until season 3, so go and cry more, if my help suggestion doesn’t helps you!
You really think that legendary players got their legendary soloing all the way up? You must be mad!
My point exactly! Thank you! The whole idea of success is based on being part of a team. Solo players suffer. I’m not crying, just stating facts. Cry babies join teams like you did. The system is broken and you have helped me prove that because you needed to team up to make progress. Thanks and best of luck to you and your “team”.
Have you ever asked to your self “why I loose”?!
I asked my self why I loose in ruby division for 5 days in a row; after I’ve questioned my self I am Diamond division tier 2…
Why I loose:
1. I criticize my team mates very often, because they are weaker than me; if I do that they became more weaker.
2. If I see I’m the one who carries I stop fighting, I don’t want these people in my same division… they don’t deserve it!
3. I don’t criticize the opponent team/players, they remain strong…
4. I don’t use strategy…(because solo queue, nobody listens to 1 player, they all think you are a bully, or they are better)
5. Solo queue: If you are a ruby, you end up with sapphire team mates, against 4 ruby 1 sapphire..piramid winning, the best climbs faster…
6. Simply bad luck!
7. I’m a bad player!What did I change:
1. Never criticize team mates, just block them!
2. I don’t care any more about the team mates what division they are in! Or the enemy team! I just want to win, and I win!
3. When my team wins a team fight/1vs1, I just write at “say” chat, they/you are weak, just give up already! They get so frustrated, that they really loose !
4. I use strategy, I got 5 friends from this season 2, with them I duo-trio, they listen to me, and the other team mates see we 3 people doing that, they join the strategy, they listen! For ex. We beat a super tanky team to dust yesterday, we didn’t even let them move to anything, we just waited them to come out, against 2 ele, 1 mesmer, 1 thieve, 1 reaper, we wiped the floor with them, that’s because everybody did the strategy!
5. The best climbs faster… well, if you have a loosing strike, change your strategy; like duo/trio team up; make new profession, learn all the classes abilities; learn from metabattle, try it out in unranked 5 times, and you can change your skill sets after that to your advantage, play stile..Everybody goes copy-paste meta battle, I do not, I change some skills, sigils on my professions, and I know what am I doing with them, and why!
6. Yes, sometimes you are winning, and one little mistake and you lost, that’s always in the pack card! It’s called bad luck!
7. After 5 days consecutive losses I thought I’m a bad player, my place is ruby only, after that I didn’t played that much, and one day I got 28 pip winning strike… because I’ve changed my strategy … people saw me I’m better, and now team up with me, they listen to me, I listen to them, and the most of the times we win! It’s very hard to get pips in diamond I assure you, but in 3-4 hours (15 min queue in them) I got 1 tier diamond.. so if I calculate right, I will get legendary easy!In season 1 I always considered my self a diamond player, until now, I consider my self legendary, why not?! If I make limits to my self I will remain in diamond this season to!
I will make strategy and improvement to get to legendary division!
Sorry but you’re not legendary player. A legendary “team” player, sure why not. Your progress stopped at ruby so you teamed up. You say you don’t want to place limits on yourself. You did that the second you teamed up to further your progress.Teaming up is a pretty weak strategy/improvement and only proves my original post. Best of luck to you, but where would you be without help? Still in ruby…….
ANET is killing the average solo player because they don’t care about our gaming experience. I didn’t play season 1 but looked forward to season 2 more than I should have. I thought the possibility of earning a legendary back item was totally awesome. I now realize they have taken that possibility away. My understanding is in season 1 you couldn’t lose “pips” until Sapphire or Ruby. Losing pips in emerald is a nightmare and that’s their plan. Like other aspects of the game Anet is forcing people to play the game the way “they” want it played. Can anyone guess why we lose pips in Emerald now? Anyone? I’ll tell you why, because they want “teams”. They need teams to try and build up the Esports appeal. Solo q’s are not conducive to their goal, so we are punished.
My record for ranked in season 2 is 23W-85L. Yes, yes, I understand I must be a terrible player. Anet is welcome to publish my contribution to every single match I’ve played and I believe the general consensus will be that I’m at least an average player. An average record for the 108 matches played would be 54-54. I heard someone say the “pity pip” was instituted for people who hit a bad streak and need to catch a break. I disagree, I believe the “pity pip” was put into the game because they knew how badly solo q’s were going to suffer based on the new system in place. So much for the people who thought they might be able to earn a legendary through in game rewards.
In closing I’d like to say that I’m tired of trying to find enjoyment from this game.
