Ikki.7891 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hello guys! In my previous matches I have been encountering a Revenant going about NAKED in EU. yes, you read that right, NAKED. well, apart from his undies. I don't know if its because he has no armor or because revenant is in a bad spot, but he always jumps into fights and insta-dies. How is that possible? Is he throwing? I asked him why he would join RANKED matches wearing no armor and all he would say to me is "I am nacked Rev" constantly. I don't get it.... can we make armor MANDATORY? at least in ranked?That's him:Let me know if you have also seen this "Nacked Rev" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeels.3269 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Like for real this guy is just deliberately throwing at this point. Idk if it’s wintrading like last season, but I always seem to get him on my team and it’s an instant loss. I know it’s over before it’s already begun. What makes him even more useless though is that he plays Rev against Scourge meta. If there was any doubt in my mind that this guy was not trolling and throwing games for the ‘lulz’ , it would be gone just because of this.

Jeknar.6184 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Playing with no Chest+Legs+Boots remove your armor values, so this person is straight up throwing... Now I would not expect anything to happen to him. As long people who break the rules aren't actively punished, people like this individual will be free to do whatever.

mrauls.6519 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 He's a streamer. He's just having fun... but I can see how having him on your team when he doesn't do well would suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent.9538 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Frostball has been doing a personal goal to get to legend on a naked rev. He is a top tier player who did manage to do it during season 7. So far he hasn't made it this season but we shall see.Here's a compilation; So no he isn't throwing, just trying to challenge himself.

GunnarMare.9218 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Of course it's annoying to have someone in team that is gimping himself, but you can look at it this way. Let's assume that people are somewhat as good as their rating indicates. In this case, if 2 revenants have the same rating, it does not matter if the other one has armor or not. He would simply perform better in some areas to make up for the lack of armor.Similar comparison can be made with builds. If someone can climb with off-meta build, his overall performance likely matches that of others of same rating, regardless of the build. Would he be even better with meta build? That is then another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its always an instant loss im wondering how has he won games to stay at the same mmr. Plenty of people play rev against scourge and thats not a bad choice.

gwcarvalho.4590 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Stuff like this is the reason why I left gw2 PvP a long time ago. How can ANET allow players to manipulate matches like this and yet all the community cares about is how much the mount skins cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disappointing.6914 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 If he is a top tier player how can he not realise that wearing no armor makes him weaker and ruins pvp expirience for his teammates? I'll submit a report if meet him in matchmaking. I think its not fair to your teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove any of those THREE specific peices of gear, your armor rating changes. The other three slots have no effect. I'm not sure why anet bothered with this at all instead of just making armor naturally at max possible for pvp, but this is because those three slots are guaranteed to be on a character fresh out of the level 1 story instance.
