1v3 and Barely win games

pretty much all of kratos’ posts are based on some form of humble brag.

And yet, missing a flaw of logic.

“zomg, I go 1v3 and have this really epic battle while my team goes and sucks on 2 nodes”

The missing part:
There could have been someone on the enemy team who rolled his allies “1v3” just the same.

But instead, he blames his team, which actually sounds fairly typical.

Your comment shown that you didn’t even watch the full vod before making that statement. There were no point in the game where any of the guy on the enemy team was 1v3ing my teammates. Not even 1v2. And I have every rights to make complain about my teammates when I single handedly carried them. They wouldn’t even get 100 pts if their fifth was someone of their skill level instead of me or someone at least equal to my skill level to carry them. Not to sound conceited but that’ just fact. If you watch the full Vod it is not an exaggeration when I said I am permanently 1v2

Kratos is the #1 player in the game. If he quits, that will kill PvP for Guild Wars 2.

Haha nah there are many people better than me. I can play all classes at above average level with a couple classes at high level, but there are many players better than me. Plus, I still have a sliver of faith left for future tourney and some improvement

This was the fourth placement match on an alt account. Because of the soft mmr reset, plus you lost 2 of your first 3 placement matches, the people you will get will likely be dramatically below your level since your account has super high volatility, and a poor starting record. There is a good argument to be made to get rid of the soft reset at the start of the season since it is safe to say established accounts won’t get dramatically better or worse over the off season, and even if they do the system should re-rank them appropriately eventually. However this game does not make a case for poor match making. The system hasn’t even come close to figuring out your rating after 3 placement games.

While what you said has merits. However, put someone else instead of me in this game. For example, someone of equal skill to the teammates I got; they will 100% get stomp. They would be lucky if they even manage to get 100 pts Without me or anyone of similar skill on their team to hard carry. And that’s the point I want to make, why is a team consist of 4 players that basically clueless pitch against team of 5 players who kinda know how to play? Why didn’t they get teach about basic stuff like “if your teammates is 1v3ing at home maybe you should come help peel for him or make it an even 3v3 instead of going to far after afking mid for 30s pushing into a 2v2 your other teammates already winning” I didn’t Express that really well but the fact does not change that if the player in that game was your average level 40 PvP player then that team will 100% get 500-100 or something like that. Which should never happen if matchmaking is working.

A player should never, ever have to 1v2 and 1v3 for the full duration of the match to be able to barely won by 10 points. That is not good game, that’s just whacked

Hi, I just wanna make this post to show how bad the Matchmaking in PvP and how big the gaps between players are right now. Some of you may remember this from my most recent stream but I just want to highlight this game right here, one of the prime example of why almost none of the players want to touch guild wars 2 PvP this season. ANet need to get a proper tutorial as well as give top tier players incentive to actually stream and teach the lesser skilled player to improve. Because at this rate, more and more players will leave.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/130583102

This is the clip of my 1v3. Where I straight up 1v3 a thief mes and warrior for a minute, downed 2 and killed one before I actually died. Meanwhile my team barely won two nodes in that amount of time, just to lose it the moment I died. Throughout? this whole game, I was permanently 1v2 and 1v3 while my team doing God knows what and I barely carried my team to win by 10 points. It is honestly baffling.

Below is the full clip of the game for you guys to judge. Please keep in mind my DH is not my main class, this was my first game on DH in like a week.

“Carry Isarel” http://www.twitch.tv/xkratosz/v/130583399?sr=a&t=0s

P.S: I could have live through that 1v3 there and maybe even come out alive, but because DH is not my main, so I didn’t do a good job of keeping CDs of f2 and f3. I could have won that 1v3 and come out on top. So it is technically my faults for not going 10000% to carry them. I was just too triggered at the time.

D/c, came back won game but still lose MMR

in PvP

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

Hello, I am writing this post to suggest the devs to change the way dishonor works. I was playing earlier with my friend and your server dropped. It took me 3 mins to get back into the game and when I came my team was behind a little but we manage to pull through and win the match. However, despite coming back i still lost -20 MMR. Which gonna take three wins to even make up. Why do I get punish when I won the match and the D/c wasn’t my fault?

This is very discouraging to players who legit want to play the game. I already have less and less reason to PvP in GW2, this just keep adding oil to the fire. Please change how dishonor work and fix your servers before handing out dishonors for players who came back and win the match with their teams. At the very least I should not lose any MMR for your faulty servers.

Is this going to be another disaster because neither Aero or Kratoast can host or shoutcast, since the first one by them didn’t go very well.

The first 1v1 was received well by my niche of viewers despite the shaky start. That’s where I got the donations for the second 1v1 Tournament which went a lot smoother. The funds for giveaways from this upcoming 5v5 are from the same niche of viewers who asked me personally when they donated to keep my format and the memes. So if that’s not for you then sorry. Although this Tournament is sponsored by Anet so it’ll be more professional. 4Head

The reason no one queue at high rating on NA

in PvP

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

or you guys at the top could just grow a pair and q up. what you are suggesting is to make the loss penalty similar to something like bronze. everyone would be in platinum if this were the case.

I have almost 1k games this season and I streamed 90% of my games. I dropped out of top 250 like twice a week during the season to entertain my stream and climbed back to top 25 the next day no problem. What I want is just more high rated players queuing on their mains and stop dodging, altings, and camping rating. The suggestion to lower point lost upon losses is in hope of encouraging people from playing on mains more.

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

If point gains were arbitrary as you describe, then there would be no upper bound on MMR, and you would see people who play a lot with 10k rating at the top of the leaderboard. This is not accurate and just takes us back to seasons 1-4.

The reason you are gaining very little is because you are expected to win all those matches and your rating is already accurate. When you lose a match you are expected to win, you take a decent hit. Your history shows that you can easily maintain your rating, which is good. If you’re already one of the best players, why do you need your rating to continually rise?

I can understand the argument that high-skilled players might want some sense of progression past being number 1, but that is outside the scope of MMR. This is one of the reasons you consistently get more rewards while highly rated.

Hello Evan,

Thank you for your response. I understand your points, however, more than half of the losts I took are against the top players on their alts. And the system think I supposed to win those when in fact it is stacked against my favors. I know this is not the system’s faults that people play on their alts. However, the reason most of these players alts is because of the reason I stated. The point gain ratio I mentioned is just an example, the reason I ask for a less punishing ratio of points gains/lose is in hope that it will encourage more high rated players to queue. Instead of the current five or six players who still queue when they’re high rated, that including me.

This season has been the best one so far and I am just sharing my suggestion for next season. Thanks for the hard work.

Hi, this is not a complaining post but just a request for ANet devs to reconsider how the MMR gain/loss are calculate for next season. Atm even with 90% win rate every session I still lose progress with 2 losts. This is an example of my recent win/losts ration. This is in Prime time. As you can see, one lost = 4 wins almost. This is why no ones want to queue on their main account when they got legend. Because each loss took minimum 3 games to recover. I understand the need to lose more than you gain to create a sense of “Progression” but this is just dumb. A more acceptable win/gain ratio would be win +10 lose -15. Then at least you still make progress with a 60% win rate. However with the current gain and lose ratio, Even with 90% win rate it still possible to lose progress in 2 loses.

If you wan proof just check my channel VoD. All my stream session I always have ~85% win rate and sometimes I ended stream with negative rating because each lost reduce so many rating. Please consider reworking how rating gain/loss is calculated. Thank you

Kiting guide: How to 1v2 on Henge with JP

in PvP

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

Hello, I was asked by my viewers to make some guides on basic kiting spots and how to apply them in games in order to carry pugs. This is one of the demonstration of how you can use the basic JPs (Jumping Puzzles) spots on Henge on Forest to kite and stall 1v2 while your team win the rest of the map. Any classes can use these basic JPs and kite. However, the best classes for this scenario will be Guard, Engi, Rev, Ranger and Warrior.

I will be breaking down my decision during this 1v2 and why I do certain jumps and jukes as best as I can in text. English is my second language so pardon my grammar.

Here is the example of the 1v2:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/118138101

First 45 secs: Thief and I were in an unfavorable 2v2 against an Engi and warrior. Then enemy guard came in and made it an outnumber fights. Thief made the decision to pull out to left me outnumbered which is the best decision because it a losing match up for us. I then proceed to use the basic ledges on the side of henge to kite to the second level and type instruction to my team to let me outnumbered while they win the rest of the map. Please note, if you’re gonna ask your pugs to let you be outnumber you need to survive for at least 30s to get any value out of it. In this case I managed to survived till my pugs won the map.

1 minute mark: I baited the warrior to chase me then use s2 to teleport on the point and use the JP once again to kite off and buy time for my f2 and f3 to be up.

1:34 mark: I purposely “failed” the JP here to juked the warrior and DH with the key CCs of headbutt, signet of might and f1 from guard. As you noticed at this point, my team already won mid and far and my thief already moving from mid ready to plus me. I then instead of repeating the same JPs again, I re-positioned myself into the pillars in an attempt to separate the DH and Warrior again so the thief can come in and gank one of them with me. As you can see we secure the kills afterwards. The thief then proceed to rotate out with the engi and we proceed to secure home with the staggers.

It is important to be aware of your surrounding as well as watch the map while you are being outnumber because if you notice your team not winning anything while you are outnumber then it is best to just pull out and go to teamfight to carry them. However if they are winning, you need to adjust your playstyle accordingly to bait CDs from the enemies so when your team come in you will have an easier time of finishing the fight and create snowballs.

Please note, I am not a guardian main so some of my skills usages are questionable; I played it because it what best for the comp in that game. You can do the same thing with engi ranger and warrior too however I find that for this specific node, DH is very strong because as long as you establish the fact that no one on the other team can 1v1 you, then generally pugs will try and tunnel vision you thus create more breathing room for your pug teammates. However, this will not work on more experience players; if they see you do the kiting strat most of the time they will just leave and let you take the 1v1 as soon as the node is cap. At this point it is up to you to decide if it is worth taking the 1v1 on a capped node over going to teamfights.

Hope this help give you guys a general ideas on how to use the kiting spot on Henge. If this small guide proved to be useful and you guys want more examples of how to use the JPs on other maps to kite lmk I will make them.

basically what you guys are saying is:

to be able to ascend in rank, you need to be able to carry 4 people all the time.

Nope. He said he has to duoq once he hit a plateau so that’s only three people to carry.

That’s the flaw of the system I am talking about. If I consistently getting “Close game” where everyone are roughly the same levels then I wouldn’t have to duoQ. However, at some point you realize you have to duoQ to save your sanity and reduce chances of getting total care bears. I think with more time ANet will improved their system. I regained faith in anet with how this season is going at least.

Didn’t you place in Platinum? Just a few days ago in mapchat you were talking about you placed in plat and then fell so fast to silver you didn’t even know gold existed. Wouldn’t being placed in Platinum therefor also mean you lucked out in placement as well?

So he placed even higher than me, but now he’s in silver. Huhmmmmmm seems like someone is salty he is too much of a dead weight that no one can carry him.

I am not the best player by any mean. I am just an average player and I know I will get lot of flames for saying this but this is the truth. If you are really as good as you think then you will have no problem getting minimum 1700+ rating and top 250. Yes even if you are placed in bronze due to “unlucky” Matchmaking. Proofs are Drazeth from Denial; he got placed I think in Silver (Not 100% sure if silver or gold but I think he was placed the lowest out of all the pros) and he soloQ his way to the top 50 in a couple days by carrying scrubs. So yes, If you really “deserve” high plat or Legendary MMR then you can get it by carrying scrubs.

This season is the best one so far. The system is actually working. I opened the leader board and recognized almost everyone one in the top 100. So that mean the system is actually working. It still flawed in some aspects, but keep in mind this is 10000x better than previous 4 season. There is actually some prestige to your Division and MMR now. So to the people who are whining non-stop blaming the system, maybe take a look at yourself first. Maybe you’re not as good as you think you are and need to work on some aspects.

Before I get flame for “oh you’re just all talk, you get carry by mmr, you get lucky placements” etc. Sorry to said that’s all false because I was placed Mid gold and climb to mid plat MMR soloQ. Granted, it’s NA which is a lot easier than EU, but most of the complainers are from NA so I guess it is still relevant. I started duoQ when I hit top 50 because it a 20% less chance of getting a deadweight player on your team. Here is an example of my Second time getting to Legend MMR where my duoQ partner and I had to carry an AFK mesmer who did not use a single portal and gave up when we were ~300 pts behind. I have to tell him to stop afking and straight up said “We will carry” to get him to go to fights and spam buttons. He didn’t Moa Once that game.

https://www.twitch.tv/xkratosz/v/108404466

So yes, If you TRULY deserve the rank you think you deserve. Then start carrying. And yes I know there are Uncarriable games but those are a few in a dozen. Almost all games are carriable. You should always try your best to carry before blaming your teammates. Look at yourself before blaming your teammate. I know when i’m not playing 100% I would never tilt at teammates but tilt at myself. When I tilt at teammates is when I am not playing at my best.

Anyone know why i'm getting 10 point wins?

in PvP

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

I’ll take +10 pts for a win any days lmao. At my “top 20 MMR” the average is like +3 to +7. A “hard game/scrims level” game would give me 12-16pts at most. When I lose it minimum 14 pts. If you’re getting +10 that Mean you’re not really in gold but low Plat. You know your MMR settle down when you’re getting +3 to +8. Eventually it become a grind but that’s how every MMR system works. (LOL, CSGO, OW, dota2) I think people need to look at it like this. If 1 win reward you average of +10 then on paper if you win 3 or 4 then lose 1 then eventually you’ll get to where you think you should be. If you seem to be losing more than winning and start to tilt and play badly then it is on you. You can’t blame other for losing if you are tilting and not performing your best. I know when I lose and I did not perform at the level I expect out of myself (1v2 for a minimum of 45 seconds or longer for example) then I have no one to blame but myself.

The system is flawed in that a PvE care bear can get lucky and place in legend. But rest assured, me and the boys will actively snipe and play our best if we ever encounter those specific “lucky” players. If they’re really deserve that rating with playing 1 game every 3 days then they deserve it. But if they don’t, they will get weed out by end of season.

xKratos.4758

Just vs’d you guys in a duo, #1 and #3 we had nobody even top 100 (?) and I was like #240. Lost 12 rating to you guys in a total 1 sided stomp. Idk man maybe it’s rewarding for you but it feels totally unfair for me, like I lose less sometimes losing to random teams than you guys who have way higher MMR than me.

For reference I have 1730 MMR, you guys have like 2050 which is 320 MMR difference and I lost 12 =/

I feel like you guys up top should be fighting guys up top and not gaining anything from fighting people with 300 MMR diff, I know that if I stomped some random dude in silver as a plat guy I don’t deserve anything.

12 MMR is nothing. I lost -25 to -50 which was my most lost when i was top 10 and they give me 4 randoms against a team where i know every players on there. I lost 21 from that game. And I got VoD of that on my stream too. But yea I agree with the 300MMR diff part. Like I said, system is not flawless but it is better than before. We just need to give Evan and his team more time. I regain some faith in PvP team at least

PvP season 5 thoughts from a top 10 player

in PvP

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

As a top MMR player myself I agreed completely with what katsumi said especially about the placement matches, I placed mid gold but get out of it within 3 games and got into top 10 (for like 20 mins then I logged off and 20 mins later I’m #12 FeelsBadMan )

The system is working definitely in my opinion. It is flaw in some aspects however with time it will work out. The complains atm are mostly from people who delude themselves into thinking theyre better than they truly are and they just need to accept that if you’re truly good. Then you’ll get Top 50 and Legendary.

You placed Gold Tier 2 (mid gold) then you got to Plat in 3 games? Either your full of kitten or this system is (I think both). I don’t think the complaints are mostly from deluded players gimme a break. Sorry but I would think playing in Gold rank you would have teammates that didn’t play like they just got off the short bus from school.

I know I’m not legendary and I don’t give a crap. I do care to see some time of progression and not just back and forth etc. Even if you win and lose, you still end up losing more since it takes you longer to gain rating back.

I’d say it’s probably around 50/50 for the complaints. Some people have very valid arguments and then come on these forums only to be trolled to get good or told you are garbage when they haven’t even seen you play. The placement system is broken, if it’s 80% luck why bother calling this competitive PvP because it is not.

Another thing is a healthy enough community. Yes PvP tends to be toxic at times, but still all you get is trolled in game or on these forums. TBH this game’s “pvp and eSports” deserves to fail. I honestly pretty much can’t stand a majority of the player base.

Devs have the power to shape the meta yet they are happy with where it stands, and it’s crap. All these cool classes and abilities yet you see the same cookie cutter builds through out ranked. When you get bored of these and decide to do something else you get harassed and called out for being a noob, kitten wasting everyone’s time etc. I swear this community is getting near the level of LoL toxicity in ranked.

Uhm, you can check the leaderboard to fact checks me. I am a well known player at “high tier”. Don’t need to type a thesis on the issue dude. I placed ~1500ish and I indeed get out of it within 3 games because I do not belong there. I belong at High Plat/Legendary where I will fluctuate depending on how well I contribute/carry my team.

Also, you only need 200 pts to get out of gold to plat. And I get 87 +79 and +64 on my 3 games out of plats then it sharply drop to +30-3 and +7 now so Yes the system is working. It’s not flawless but it is working. Also, I have to 1v2 and 1v3 on those 3 games while my duoQ partner support the bads in team fight. Just because you cant climb to top 20 doesn’t mean the system is not working.

Best players NA measured by 5v5 Conquest does not translate to best duelist. I nominate Lettuce, Kratos, & Rain.

Haven’t played in months but i’ll grind the leaderboards.

There will be a 5v5 version too but due to budget restraint and no official support from ANet yet so those will have to wait. And while part of what you said is true, I would argue that toker rar and Ipno would rekt anyone out there. And thanks for nominating me but I have to run the tournament lol

I’m talking with my sponsors, helpers and players about a possible 5v5 “All-star” format. Where the captains will be handpick by me, and the captains will then proceed to duel to get first picks/bans of their teammates. However, this will require more funding. So, if you would like to see this happen, please contact me in game and send donations

Before you say “Cringe af title”, idc cause this is how I intend the tourney to be. An ELITE, top 1% only 1v1 HoT Tournament for the people handpicked by me as well as Top 25 Players of the leaderboard at the end of the season in February.

In kudos to the good changes ANet made. I am happy to announce the 1v1 HoT “Tournament of the Gods”, where only the elites of Elite allow to be participate.

Prizes are provided by Myself and my sponsors who want to fuel the PvP community to get better. If you think you got what it take, prove it. Before people say “What if someone is good but do not have time to play?”; Leave a post of that person account name here and I’ll ask my boys if they know them. If I have a minimum of 3 vouchers they’ll be allow to participate. Top 25 of the leaderboard are automatically qualify. Number 1 aka “God of PvP” will be automatically qualify for the Best of 8 round

Prize: 1000g (A legendary prize and possibly some cash is in discussion with the sponsors, but this will be the minimum prize for 1st)

*This tournament is NA only atm. There will be an EU one too after I finish organizing NA"

List of invited participants:

MagicToker

Caed vs the Guardian. With the original feline grace Thief had 3 dodges, 4 if you waited a second. That plus S/D with D.P would have made the fight even but Anet shattered feline grace because they wanted Daredevil to be relevant :/

There were a lot of Thief’s running SD DP and the duels were lasting forever, so eventually we have to put them on Zerker standard builds so we can move on. And yeah anet butchered the traitline to sell HoT :/

I usually don’t post, but being in this tourney the last time it happened, I feel like some things ought to be discussed.

1. Beastly Warden AND quickdraw were used in the tournament and allowed EVEN though the regulation didn’t allow it. Compared to many other classes, the buff from beastly warden is negligible at best.
2.Thief honestly isn’t very viable without SA, even though back then you could use it without SA in tourneys, base skills are MUCH different than they were pre-Hot. Non of the thieves got far at all last time, there was either too much condi from the mesmers, or too little sustain from the thieves when they were up against other classes. There is that 3 minute duel rule anyway. How about the thief has to take off SA if the duel lasts too long?
3.Can there be a ban or soft ban on LOS this time around? There was a whole lot of it last time, not just to me but many others, and generally in duels LOS or leaving the general area isn’t permitted.

LoS is part of the player’s skill. It’s like asking someone to not Kite and run away to LOS when a necro pop his DS

Thief with no SA how he will cleanse condis then? O.o

The ban on SA traitline is to prevent permanent stealth war of thief constantly reset Everytime he get low. Most 1v1 tournament before HoT all ban SA. The rules are in place to make tournament more fun to watch.

From what I remember was you could spec in SA to get the condi cleanse only…..course that was when you could go 60206 or w/e thieves ran

Yes, with old trait systems then I would just ban the Stealth Duration Traits, however with the revamp system where the stealth bonus is minor baseline then the traitline must be ban completely.

As for condi clears, you have shadow steps, signet, and Aecrobatic traitline, not to mention generosity sigil, runes that remove condis or give resistances, etc.

The stealth duration bonus only works on skills that give stealth not stealth granted off combo fields. So if 4 seconds of stealth on OH dagger and an extra second of stealth on long CD utilities is the reason you are banning the trait line instead of the just banning the Shadow Rejuv/Shadow Protector I just have to question the rules a bit. Also getting rid of the Shadow Rejuv you get rid of the extra initiative gain in stealth which kills any perma stealth build from core thief.

Last tournament used basically the same rulesets and no one question the shadow art traitlines ban. However, if condis truly proves to be thief’s demises and not his own skill level during this upcoming tournament then I will reconsider the rulesets.

Example would be: If Toker or Katsumi participate and lose to a random no name running cheese condi on thief then I’ll reconsider the rulesets.

I was sceptic about signing up but then I read this

No Revenants nor Heart of Thorns related skills, traits, or abilities

Awesome idea!
Btw is this related to NA or EU?

It’s a vanilla tournament so won’t make sense if HoT specs are allow The tournament is hosted on NA but EU can sign up too.

TOL 4 NA

xKratos.4758

You guys do not take into account the team comps as well as map choices. The reason people do 0-5-0 splits is because usually on maps like legacy or forest if you send 1 home 4 mid or 1-3-1 vs a team with stealths then it will often result in one of your player getting 100-0 by the gank squad, and in this meta 1 death = instant stagger at high level plays. I can’t speak for other teams but my teams when we played NL used the 0-5-0 solely for this reason because they have a thief which add the threat of ganking. Yes, we didn’t win but that’s because we made small mistakes which cost us. In this meta if you make 2 or 3 mistakes the match could instantly turn into a snowball. It’s not like unranked where you just go far 1v2 and hope your team win 4v3. At “high tier” teams like Abjured, NL, Pz, etc. Will punish you for not regrouping or splitting like soloQers. Meta changes, teams adapt. Saying you just need to zerg to be effective is very wrong. There are rotations upon rotations in those ToL games. Even in NA scene which I know is a meme but sadly y’all too ignorant and salty to accept that meta changes and you gotta move on.

People are not giving enough credits to OP tbh. At some point he was 1v3ing and down one and came out alive. Basically hardcarrying his team, yes the guards were really bad but tbh i think they would lose that if not for Op trolling outnumbered fights almost the whole game while interacting with his chat at the same time. Pretty entertaining to watch for sure. Just wish the quality was a little better :/

Yeah, there is no Fibre Internet Services in my area and the package I’m paying for already the highest they got to offer >..< But thanks for noticing the works I was doing XD

Post patch nec s5 new meta inc

Posted by: xKratos.4758

xKratos.4758

So this is my understanding of this thread:

-OP claims to have created the new meta for necros with a team support dependent build in a game about to go solo/duo only.
-hero worshipping ensues.
-“Amazing life force regen” is redefined as taking less than half of possible life force sources.
- A wild power necro appears, and starts advertising axe necro builds.
-more hero worshipping ensues.
-CPC is bashed
-CPC is praised
-originality of OP’s build is questioned
-another round of hero worshipping ensues.

OP also a LAN Player who had proven his mechanical skills as well as game knowledge and is known at high tier PvP. Unlike you, who is a complete pleb, random forum warrior who will never know anything about high tier plays and strats cause you’re a scrub and refuse to graciously bow down and thanks the said high tier player for enlightened your scrubby kitten of a boosted Ape true high level meta builds instead of hiding it like most high tier teams do cause “espurts”. So yea, just realize how bless you are to be bask in Jeffies presence and get me, the eternal meme overlord to even explain basic things like this to a pleb like you. MingLee
