I understand wanting to make the skill more effective but having it follow a target is op. You can increase the cast time or whatever... There no amount of defending you can do to actually convince anyone other than an ele main that it isn't op.

as a guardian main and a DH fan i actually agree.. guard shouldn't have access to stealth much less superspeed.

cool then i guess just make it a 5v5 offseason game mode with no ratings or ranking ladder. problem solved.

this implies that a person who doesn't form a group doesn't not have this knowledge... which is wrong. maybe. or it maybe it demonstrates that the people forming the group understand that they will most likely be paired against 3 opponents who will be randomly paired together and who have less of a chance of winning because they will most likely not be able to prepare against a team that has played several matches together. which would mean that it actually demonstrates that you are skilled in exploiting potential weakness in the games ability to properly determine skill at the actual game from a competitive standpoint. i'm not exactly sure what blame has to do with anything... this isn't a socialization simulation game. your ability to socialize isn't taken into account when your rating is determined. the game doesn't scan your chat logs to assess how well you socialized. you can win without communication period. in fact, if you beat a premade team as a solo que team, without typing or speaking a single word, albeit rare, it actually would demonstrate more skill. you assume that people who don't wish to form a group, or don't have time to do so, do not possess effective social skills or the ability to plan... uhhh no but ok. other games of this type with competitive pvp modes take into account that allowing premade groups to compete against solo que is not a fair way to rate skill. plenty of people agree with me. just look at the thread topics in the pvp section... and the people who disagree with my point of view can only garner weak arguments like "but muh frens" and "why can't u talk gud enuff wit ppl 2 win".

so then why not require people to have a 3 person party and do away with the solo que... in fact just do away with the rankings period, right?

your logic is severely flawed and your argument is hinging on logical fallacies. you must be willingly myopic on the matter. which is obviously the case because you are avoiding the original points in my post. how is allowing full premade teams in ranked a measure of skill? if the purpose of having ranking is not to demonstrate skill then what is it? so those who chose not to premake their team are penalized? can't you and your "friends" go play 3v3 in a private server together? can you address the actual issue i presented or are you just going to resort to another ad hom?

who is stopping you from playing with your friends? is 3v3 ranked the only time you play with your "friends"? or are you just upset that im pointing out that allowing premade groups in ranked pvp is obviously unfair to the overall population? also... solo que in pvp isn't playing with randoms? pls explain...

so don't que ranked? is someone forcing you to que? who is this bad man?

Why is premaking a full 3v3 team or 2v2 team in ranked pvp a thing? Doesn't make sense. Doesn't seem like a measure of skill at all.

exactly.of all the things to change... they pick the things no one wants changed.

magic thieves? i've only been playing this game for a year and i really enjoy it... but... these "balance patches".... i just dont know. a portal for thieves? i think when people said they wanted thief to get some attention i think what they really mean is for anet to stop screwing with the class with endless nerfs and nonsense like this.
