Ok turns out some words are changed if offensive, incase of "kitten", an absolute crapshow*

Jus a quick PSA, pvp is an absolute shitshow rn and somehow has yet to be fixed for years whether its matchmaking or class viability, pvp has been even more of a disaster after the absolute fiesta update of February which in all honesty was not needed or wanted by most players. I already know this wont amount to anything but its rather a rant if anything. Fix the fucking gamemode :)

Premade isnt limited to 2v2, it would be 5v5 for conquest and to have a consistent 2v2/3v3 season instead of them being a filler. Plus the idea of having to literally avoid players in order to have a fair game shows it is quite stupid.

The matchmaking is a huge issue for pvp. It has been the 7 years I have played it. Having duoQ at all and only 1 ranked Q is a bad choice in itself. Ive seen matches where me as solo vsed 2 good premades (personally i dont care it gives me good matches) but i would have 4 players who would have 0 idea of what to do. Should it have been soloQ only then that issue wouldnt be as oblivious.

I mean the idea of ranked is competitive gameplay, and they use rating to implement that. Having a 5v5 pug fiesta will just make rating even more inaccurate. It would be better to have separate ranked Qs for solo, and premade.

Matchmaking has always been an issue for as long as pvp as existed. It takes into account of classes as a priority THEN rating, not to mention rating is a very inaccurate way to measure skill so of course the actual skill level will be mostly luck

They specified "gold 3, platinum" etc so ranked

dos doesnt play anymore and him/andreas were similar

This may just be my opinion however having premade groups is both smart and stupid. Old pvp was better as you would vs the same stack (even if you could abuse it) but if its 5v5 all soloQ theres a high chance you win/lose solely because of your team and it makes any sort of "rating" irrelevant in that case as shown when even some of the best players were plat 3 and some who were obviously worse, in legendary. Granted this only would be an issue for those who give any sort of care for rating which is why it would be better to have separate Qs for premades and solo but even then it can be unfair even though it would be more fair than vs 2 duo with 5 solo.

Personally i dont really see a point in why it started, someone posted one which was.... lets say inaccurate so others (including myself) wanted a more accurate version i guess?

Okay when you said bot i thought you meant like "I run on point and autoattack until i die" type of mes bot my bad on that. Though okay in that case it is an issue lol but bans have been kinda rare i think but hopefully they will be.

Even then a mes should never be an issue unless they are hacking. Self res shouldnt ever happen for the same reason.

Even i dont know why its allowed, i mean being honest most teams that do it are doing it because they are messing around at first then they go on their mains. I used to do this quite a bit but it seems pretty stupid to allow counter comping mid match which should be changed.

Wait how is this an issue? Mesmer is weak right now and has like 2 condi bursts and you have 2 dodges, it would be simple to counterplay it.

You can basically delete a crev by existing as a domination condi mirage. True i mean that was even before nerfs so mirage just completely dominates it now lol. Then again mirage doesnt really have a place in current meta due to thief/holo most likely oneshotting it xD. Doesnt matter much now anyways since its kinda trashy now.

This isnt entirely true, thats only true for some builds whereas the strongest one is based solely on sidenode right now and it lacks mobility massively which is why it wont be a huge issue for pvp in its current state not to mention that it does die in a 1v2 vs good players so the only time core guard is stupidly strong is in lower ranks where people dont know how to deal with it but by then its a slight personal skill issue.

Instant revive is really easy to stop if you have any sort of CC thats why its not been changed, and it doesnt always instant revive if the enemy is low enough and has poison. Heralds only issue right now was condi which was adressed and nerfed hard enough for it to be taken out of meta. Whereas power can be easily stopped by a thief or most condition classes (granted it still has huge damage) but that role was replaced partly by holosmith anyways.

This seems pretty perfect

Assuming you all watched that one mAT final, of course renegade is counterable but its not like renegade is the only person in their team, even if renegade swaps out spirits and there is no node pressure you have to get through the taunt, stab, damage reduction, weakness and CC spam the weapons and dwarf provides. Not to mention the other 3 peeling you, take the Wurms comp for example, you pressure renegade after he used spirits, now you have 2 condis revs sitting on your ass and CCing you to death until renegade can spam spirits yet again and force you off node. Most renegades alone are pretty useless but with a good team you could even survive 2v3 with that n tempest for a long time. It provides too much utility and self survive for 1 or even 2 people to kill it fast enough. Granted it is possible to win this but if you make even 1 mistake you are stuck in a CC chain for 10 sec and then you are dead. Of course there is a small chance you will die to it if you facetank every spirit. But how are you meant to kill it from range while keeping point?
