GuyZ.9058 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Like I know I'm not good, but I feel like unranked can highlight some of the worse disparities in skill level that i know exist between me and some of the really good players that have been on for like 4-7 years.

Khalisto.5780 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Overall i think ranked will give you a better experience. I feel there's a spot you have the moat valanced matches when you are 1280-1380. Lower than that you're in afk and bot hell Higher than that you're in plat duo hell, often you'll "complete" a higher ranked match that will feel pretry much like your unrankeds. If you win or lose os defined by you're matched with or against the plat duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidrex.5649 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 generally whatever the games I play I play 100% ranked only, simply to have more even games. Its more fun for me, but GW 2 is THE ONLY game where I started playing unranked since the game is so shit, so its hard to say if it applies here. I suggest, playing ranked only, and not giving a damn how far you can push, just enjoy even-ish matches. Normals can be a real cluster - fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrownyClown.8402 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Worst part of ranked is if you dont play a meta build you are blamed for a loss. Or a thief main will rage at you for dying. Best part of ranked is the competition. Feels good to climb into plat and have people recognize your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Whether you'll consider PvP fun or not doesn't depend on playing unranked or ranked, as both are the same clown festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I do not think so imo. Im a gold 3 player and i constantly get placed against the top 10s whos are more then 300+ rank points away.....so most of the time when i just want to fight ppl on my lvl i do unranked. If theres anything that needs changing its the maatch making algorithm. Worst code ever divised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu.9745 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I only play unranked. I don't understand ranked. Played it 6 or 7 times: lost all. Done with it. I was expecting some easier ranked matches for players who enter for the first time, but in reality it's way harder than unranked. In unranked my win ratio is about 50% and i can play whatever build i want to, even Mender Staff Tempest instead of meta daggers, Engi without Grenades and condi LB berserker with success.

Usually these matches go 200 - 5 2 minutes in, so it's pretty easy to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyTomFlint.1928 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My ranked games have been so much more balanced in terms of score outcome than my unranked matches, and I rarely get fresh noobs. For the extra rewards, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can just be a bunch of high people "randomly" matched against a bunch of low people. Additionally, a full premade group doesn't have to be effective.

Exactly. That's what I've been saying for a while. If you're new or below average you should not play unranked. The games are literally always a mixed bag of players between bronze and high plat. Where the good players typically try out fun to play 1 shot builds "since its unrated anyway". So while you are trying to figure the game out they are running around mowing down you and your team.

Brimstone Jack.3462 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm pretty bad. Ranked keeps me in mostly pretty even matches compared to unranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh. The matchmaker does its thing. I tend to do better in unranked unless I'm up against an organized group. The matchmaker will not get you to a 50% win rate if that's what you're asking. That being said, you can still grind legendary armor while never winning a single match (note, I'm not talking about neck/back which absolutely do require wins).
