This is what we do when we’re meme-ing and have no respect for the other teams skill level. We do 5 revs 5 engis sometimes too

Burn guards are really good against gold and silver players who don't yet know what condi cleanse is. That's why we get complaints about it because the majority of the player base is playing gold 2/3 games getting meme'd using their cleanses at 1 stack of burn or trying to cleanse off all the useless other condis that make the bar look angry red but don't actually threaten ur life.

I actually think it was a good patch. All the overtuned S+ tier classes got minor nerfs and are now on par with the A tier classes. Overall I think build diversity will increase significantly.

All have close to a thousand matches _this season alone_, every one has more losses than wins, and most of them "path" identically: they follow the exact same route out of spawn, jumping over obstacles in unison when there's more than one on my team. A number of these names have been here for _multiple seasons_. This shouldn't be a problem that requires a lot of effort to solve and would significantly increase PVP quality of life for bad players who are in low gold. Those of us who still play PvP remain _flipping coins_ if we win or not based on if we end up with one of these accounts on our teams or the opposing team, and dealing with this situation would be a very simple step to make things a lot less frustrating. How does a bot play 1000 games and be useless and still stay in gold LOL

PvP posts should display the authors same in game badge to delineate what tier player is making this post

Most good players I know who are not 1700+ But in the 1580-1650 range have ended up in the same ELO solo and duo give or take 30 ish mmr. You end up somewhere near where u belong anyway but eliminate toxicity from pugs who don’t know you and increase enjoyment by being allowed to play with your friends in a, lo-and behold, MMORPG

If you have a team of all good players they will stomp random teams easily as those random players are from different skill levels.

Right now, we're being forced to play w/ people we don't want to and being punished for it, and ultimately, that's breeding the toxicity towards other teammates in games + negative rep for the sPvP community. > > But you already can play with your friends. Just make a custom match and 5v5 with another team or play in a tournament. I already addressed this in my post you quoted. Yes and I also replied that you should specifically be allowed to play RANKED with 5 and experience a meaningful reward (as in ELO, leaderboard rankings) based experience with people who aren’t going to ruin it for you

Beating a 5 stack as 4 +1 felt amazing, havimg control on what team mates you get was so much less frustrating, not having bots was a blesing and the best part enjoying the company of more than 1 friend was the best. > > > Sadly now I mostly play by myself wgo knew that an mmo playing alone was mostly force on you. **Why even make friends in pvp when you cant even play with more than 1 at a time? ** Exactly, theres nothing more fun than climbing a ranked ladder w/ your friends in hand. Every other PvP game (WoW arenas, DOTA, league, CSGO etc.) allows you to do this, only GW2 doesn't.

> @"snoow.1694" said: > How about no and reducing highly exploited 2 man queue to 1? I know a whole lot love the feeling of ganking pugs with their premade teams while sitting in Discord, but it‘s not fun for the rest and shows 0 skill. Try daily tournaments and see how good you’ll do there against other teams talking on Discord - in the time between tournaments play unranked, it is as simple as that Lets be real, I do AT's but an AT occurs every 3 hours and you get 4-5 games in max. This is hardly a solution to playing w/ friends to enhance an sPvP experience ruined by bots and pugs that you don't want to play with. Every top MOBA like league, DOTA, and even HoTS for that matter allow you to que 5 against friends and the ladder is fine. The top players end up at the top and the bronzies will be bronzies but at least the top players don't have to play w/ the bronzies that get matched w/ them.
