they give you the option to swap your class and adjust your team.just because the 3 of you refuse to swap dont mean the game or the mmr is broken LOL.after all there is no cure for stupidity.also MMR stand for MatchMaking Rating and have nothing to do with class stacking.

Yet if you swap classes but your team mates don’t, and yall lose for being out comped. You still lose ratings not matter how good you was. Meaning you’ll get stuck with worst and worst team mates then those. Until you decides to stop PvPing in GW2.

what you just said don’t make any sense.following your logic no meter what you do you keep losing and losing rating.no meter the class you play or the skill level you have?thats the league of legends bronze players mentality " i am really good but i cant do anything because my team suck"

This is the 10 the frickin time this has happened since yesterday. I’m always stuck in a game with more than 2 of any class, making the frickin match unbalanced, and we end up losing because of a bad team comp or no support and I am sick of it. its bad enough we have to wait frickin 3 to 4 min sometimes 5 min for that que to pop and when it does this the kittenty team comp I’m put up with? Either fix your matchmaking system get a new one or find someone who can do the job better than your so called pvp devs can.

I stick to ele but i use sage amulet which adds the damage needed. Still hard to get a win rate that moves me up fast. I won´t mind if i am in the right place but after playing higher i know i am not …. I had better and more successful (even no loss) matches 1-2 divisions higher then in silver… It feels like RNG where my skill just pushes the winrate a bit over 50%. You need to play somethign like thief or mesmer at a very high skill to march through the divisions. If you main another class or are not kind of platin to legend player you are at the mercy of the system and your teammates. And that is one reason why people get frustrated and leave.
And yes it´s my fault due to not multiclassing.(Or more not in the mood of doing it often …). Stopped to care because i also hate placement system.

everyone above told you if you wanna carry in solo queue you have to go dmg class and what you did? replace support guardian with elementalist…the most support class in the game……….how about you go power necro axe/warhorn + GS full dmg 0 support build and just fly away from silver in less then a day?Or power warrior,you know simple classes that can easy solo 4 people if they not very good.and at silver people are not very good

Why does this seem to happen only with thieves? Why not mesmer, necromancer, elementalist, engineer, ranger, or even revenant? Does every stubborn person have a thief alt “cuz stelth is cool”?

Not all thiefs use stealth. Stop being classist! :P

Also, some of us don’t have the time to learn other classes and have chosen to focus on, and get good with, just one class. Learn to adapt and deal with what comes.

this is the problem with Thief mentality.you tell the rest of us to learn to adapt when you yourself refuse to and say " i dont have time to learn other classes so i dont swap"

i use curses for boon removel and it does work really good this season winning 75-80% of the games.

Thief and mesmer imo are what you might want to consider learning they have the ability to change games or keep those allies that wipes instantly in teamfights. Prob the key thing to thief and mesmer is they have the tools to play objectively at a fast rate thanks to their amazing mobility on top of that both are some of the best 1v1 class/builds atm. On the other hand they’re aren’t faceroll and takes a good one to have that effect on a game but it’s clear as day when a good thief or mesmer is on you team or the enemy team.

i am sorry but no.low and mid rating thief is trash.you need to be really good as thief and your whole team need to adjust to the fact you are a thief so the class can work.and ofc in solo queue that will never happen and you will feel kitten as thief and everyone else will blame you for the games.all you do is run away,decap and 2v1.rest of the game your whole team feel like they play 5v4.there is a reason everyone hate thief and they dont want them in the team,atleast untill you reach some high rating when players start to understand wtf they do when you have thief with you.
and what do you mean one of the best 1v1 .go face guardian or warrior as thief…i wish you good luck

can they ban thief under 1800 rating?i kid you not almost every single lose i have is when i have thief.duo thief….you can go afk there is no way to win.there is no hope at all to win as duo thief

I find the majority of time I lose on Thief, it’s less because I didn’t do my job properly but because my team was trying to do my job for me, forcing me into situations I shouldn’t have to handle as a teef. Of course, I know I could always do better and ultimately if I was truly skilled I could carry a bad team and work around teammates like that, but I always end up getting blamed by these people.

It is just as much my responsibility as a Thief to do my job and know my role in PvP, as it is my teammates job to know how to utilize me properly. Adjust to the Thief on your comp. Trust they will do their job, and if they don’t, then you can blame them.

you just point out the main problem with thief.not only you need to be good and you need to know what to do as thief but your team aswell must adjust to the fact you are a thief.there is no any other class in the game that require so much so he can be playable.what i mean is if you have any other class on thief spot you are free to do whatever you like.but if its thief….you are force to adjust to him…and that dont give you any advantage in the game or anything just make the class playable.

at title say any tips how to beat 1v1 warrior?i am geting absolutly destroyed everytime i face a warrior 1v1 in sPvP

General rule in pretty much every PvP game support solo queue can do as much as rest of his team let him.you almost never will carry a game.i had same problem when i start this season was playing very team oriented necro spec.since i change into full dmg solo spec and stop care about my team and focus on my game only i start winning way way more then losing.

I don’t like thieves because even if we have 3, none of them switch.

Stacked Druids will switch, stacked Eles will switch, stacked Revs will switch, stacked Scrappers will switch but the thieves never switch….

thats actually 100% true.just today i had x2 thieves in my team asked 1 of them to swap they start explaining how good x2 thieves work.ofc we got rekt and lost the game really hard then 1 of them start explaining how he use to be 2k+ player and we have lost because the rest of us suck.

also when i see 2 or more thieves on enemy team i am so happy

It not the job of the players to fix The poor choices of the Devs in balancing and Class stacking, just saying they are allowed to play whatever they feel like.

Maybe you should ask for better class balance or no class stacking.

First of all i dont mind class stacking.even thieves sure can lose a game because of it but next one they will be on enemy team and i will win.
as for class balance…thats some kinda of illusion that after over 10 years of MMORPG history players still keep dreaming for.there have never been class balances MMORPG and never will be.the only way to balance it is to set everyone to level 1 give them same weapon and same skills.

So, an update after around 40 ranked matches.

I’m ranked ~1200 silver and I’m frequently seeing teams with 2 necros and 2 warriors. Class stacking is a nightmare. Competent duo queuers, esp. double warrior, just crush random teams unless you happen to have excellent support players on board. S6 “meta” seems to be all about stunlocks and conditions, even worse than previous season.

To add insult to injury, I’m seeing the same people repeatedly – at silver rating, mind you, and at EU prime time.

I wanted to finish the ascended backpack but I’m really at a loss. The game mode may be “active” in the sense that people are playing it, but it’s very clearly showing its neglect.

really? i play power necro and thats my only class,never swap.failed in my placements and got into mid bronze.however since then i win most of my games and got to gold in day and a half.i dont feel any problems vs duo queue teams or class stacking.it really feel like if you are decent player you can dominate at 1200 rating.but then again i also see lots of ex plat players in my games that lose and then complain about random stuff….make me start to think there must be something wrong with s5 rating system if they really use to be plat+ and play at this level now.
as for how rewarding season is i preffer to have people in my team that are there because they wanna get better and get rating and enjoy the competitive environment of the game then some guy who is there for only 1 reason to get some random reward that he will use in PVE.if you ask me remove all of rewards midseason and give way better rewards for top 250.and if you dont like it that much well its a game not a job just dont play it go do something else that is fun,i am sure there still will be prenty of players left to queue.
btw queue times are really good never waited more then 5-10 sec.and there is new people in my games all the time.i dont think population is low or season is dead at all.atleast not at gold rating.
