It makes matchmaking at the high and low ends of the skill rating spectrum more difficult. Ultimately, it came down to the fact that most players have more fun queuing up with a friend.

It sucks that my two brothers and I can't farm pips on the few nights we can play together... > > In a ranked competitive game there shouldnt be anything to farm except your rank and wins. This mentality of "needing rewards to enjoy something" 100% ruins any competive mentality. Couldn't disagree more. People like myself who enjoy ranked enjoy earning rating, leaderboard position, and/or achievements that provide us with a long term goal to get better. This is why ALL competitive sports have such things. Superbowl, Stanley Cup, Overwatch League, DOTA Internationals, SC2 Leaderboards, CS:GO ranks and divisions, RocketLeague ranks and divisions...........

MikeL.8260 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Worse idea Anet has ever come out with. PvP was the main reason I played this game and now my motivation for it is gone, way to go Anet, pushing the few players still interested in competitive play away from it. BRAVO! No matter how you look at it, it's unfair to the vast majority of the players. If ranked pvp wasn't dead yet it definitely is now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonftw.4705 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Pretty unsatisfying and horrendous season overall, at least on NA at Plat 1-2. Even if one were to play for the season reward chests, didn't seem worth it all with the exception to ATs. Would rather go do random PvE stuff and get better rewards with less effort and saving my sanity from the abomination that is ranked matchmaking right now. The average quality of games in plat 1 is ridiculously bad. The skill gap is quite jarring when you cross 1600 and you begin to face players who understand rotations not considering mechanical skill. This wide of a gap shouldn't exist in the same division, plat1 just seems like an extension of gold. I don't know with who the fault lies here, I understand the population is a key factor but also the system isn't adjusted between seasons to suit the current population. I don't blame the PvP devs, they try and give thier best with the very limited resources they have and I'm very aware of this. I guess this post is futile even if its just feedback on how S13 felt like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the effect it has on competitiveness. So we're bringing it back and we'll see how it goes for the season. And an explanation to this as in the next league the titles return? Or it's just going to stay in the titles and that's it. Saying it was a mistake on our part not to consult or something would be fine.
