This explains why the last 2 weeks of this tournament have been one of the worst competitive experiences I've had in gaming. Ever. My best matches have been the ones where half the match consists of bots because bots dont win trade.

I'm currently dealing with a crushing losing streak. I'm talking about a 300 point loss with a couple of wins scattered in between. I was literally on the cusp of platinum I only to find myself catapulted to the bottom of gold I. I don't know what to say. This isn't fun. I keep playing exxtra games telling myself that I will get ahead and that hopefully I can shake the matchmaking algorithm into waking up but it's not. Instead, I had a great win streak of about 20 games before this thing quite abruptly decided that I belong on the same teams as pip farmers. This is infuriating. I am frequently dishing out 400-500k damage, 150-200k healing, and oftentimes find myself making up well over half of the overall offense and/or defense. I'm the type of player that improves by being honest with myself and I know that this is not right. I'm not even mad anymore. Just completely blown away at how ridiculous this system is

fix your game.

This game is making me miss WoW lool

Less wings - more back... things. There are so many interesting and unique things that we can do to customize our characters and the back slot is easily the best use of this. You've shown us examples of how the back piece can be used for other aesthetics such as the floating orbs from the legendary backpiece. What if there was a long roster of various animals that can fly around us or perch on our shoulders? I could strap a big casket on my back, don flags representing different factions in Tyria, strap rockets to my back, or even put an optional weapon skin over it so that I can double down on my shiny swords. More backpacks! Anything, really.

I lost my gold just now because, as a core support guard, I had the highest offense, defense, healing, revives...and kills.

It's crazy too because Guardian is actually really good. It has a crazy high skill cap that allows for creative gameplay and impressive combo plays. The problem is, is that GW2's power creep seems to really invalidate these types of toolkits. The whole Longbow 5 on yourself, trap dump and f1 to pull someone into your traps is basically roleplaying when you have people doing all of that by pressing one or two buttons. It is SO easy to shut that down and for some classes, will quite literally make a DH useless. Disclaimer - I'm a mediocre guardian at best but that's kind of the problem. I do well in raids and WvW is its own thing but in terms of conquest, learning how to get good at a class with this type of paradigm is goofy when I can accomplish the same exact thing by rerolling professions or sitting in core guardian. Dragonhunter is just not fun in PvP at all. You absolutely do need trapper runes but at this point, EVERYONE is expecting it. Whenever I play against another DH I just feel like we're two children playing a game of "im not touching you!" and it makes it obvious where the build stands right now.

I can't speak for OP but some people want to play an RPG but not be alone doing it. Actual, real players can enhance any solo experience. You can make MMORPGs and fill them up with practically nothing but single player experiences yet have an outstanding community. Runescape is a prime example of this.
