Abraxxus.8971 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Went 3/7, mostly due to afk'ers and getting placed on teams full of core specs that sadly weren't very good vs teams of elite specs that just rolled us. I just sigh and keep on going. Rank means nothing really anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math.5123 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 9-1 ended 20 rating below legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiale.2430 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 First 2 3 games of placements give more rank, the first game is something like 120 130+(check-in gw2efficiency), you cant never loose, and the rank points decrease while you play the season. The conclusion you need to win a lot in the first games to place high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggityzog.7389 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I'll wait for the last few days then I'll play ranked and do my 10 games. Useually 8-2 or 7-3 with the bad games being afks, dcs, or just bad players. Get a plat badge for the off season lol. Ranked is too much of a cesspool with duo and circlequest only. Not worth the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallenous.2179 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I wonder what the ratio of players in the top 100 are consistent duos. This season, I totally have seen why duos utterly ruin ranking. Someone playing solo compared to someone in a decent duo is going to be severely penalized while losing many more matches.

Jaka.3182 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Climbed to 1609 last season solo q only with my core ranger. 6:4 placement and somehow I am back in gold hell. And its a struggle in this dark pof2win age where you have to face broken holos, mirages, scourge/fbs, sbs etc. So i dont play this season much anymore and if i play just some unranked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badcat.7320 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 placement worst I ever had this season. wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycoprophet.8107 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Ur over all rank has far more to do with how good the random players were that the game matched u with on ur team than ur actual individual performance which is such a weird way for a competitive pvp game to rank its players. Then again this is gw2 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralkuth.1456 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I lost my first and maybe second placement match and was 8w2l in placements, came out around ~1530. I’m usually gold3-plat1 and finish around there as well. I switched to Firebrand this season and felt less effective, but I was not punished for it as much as I predicted. It might have to do with lower population this season, as queue times have been longer, and I see some 1600+ players in plat1 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your guy's horror stories? This was me solo'ing and not duo'ing like a smart player. You know i've seen people throw winnable matches just because we lose 1 team fight and it feels sadly common in gold (when i was that high) I actually don't give a hoot about my ranking. It's all win rate. Speaking of which i was like 0/4 on my mesmer, picked a metabattle meta build for a different profession and have had a 3 match win streak since. Balance in this game is atrocious, my performance should not jump that much playing an unfamiliar profession. Mesmer has a good chance against most profs, but in team fights they're actually quite useless compared to what others bring to the table. So i expect more nerfs, worse win rates for them.

Even if your expected win rate was 50% you have a 12.5% chance you win or lose 3 in a row and a 6.3% chance to win/lose 4 in a row so neither is that uncommon. Could be you are still better on your mesmer but just had a bad streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get good and bad placements still always climb up to gold 3/plat 1 quite easily as a solo player, could easily get higher if I could be bothered to swap classes/&builds.

Most of ppl who’ve been top 100 before can solo q and get there especially half way through the season. Like I literally didn’t duo once and am top 25 with like low plat2. If I want end of season top 25-100 I’ll prolly need to duo q a little to get plat3 but still most of the season would be solo q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloq placements went 6-4 into 1480 rating and losing twice more points than I gain, so basically stuck in this trashcan while usually I had 1750 rating (but didnt finish season as I cant force myself to play more than 50-60 games). Soloq is pure hell if you are stuck on low rating (oh ye,I dont play meta builds and didnt play it before). You can win 1x2 but that wouldnt matter because some bunker troll 3 ppl on your close and their IQ is that low to just leave him 1x1 someone and lose the map anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance since PoF release has been bad. Diversity is near non-existent. It is a stale experience. And with no content in sight (1 map and an hour of story every 2-3 month is not), sPvP will be a ghost town soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
