id love to go against 10 plat players every game i queue into, but the last time thats happened was back in 2019 so thats not gonna happen anytime soon, people arent dodging people they care about rating, people are dodging because its not fun rolling dice on the mmr and its not fun going into predecided games. does naru get the 1 lone other plat player on his team or do i? well thats the team thats winning that game, and thats it. or even worse when it happens and the plat player is put with a duo against a solo qer, which for some reason happens more than the opposite way simply put the MMR system is not made to handle such a low top end population and it CANNOT do its job properly. it routinely will put plat players onto teams that are already favored to win because it cares far more about not putting 2 of the same class on the same team than it does about rating, and why wouldnt it? it doesnt know that the skill rating between a plat player and a gold 3 player is literally like playing against AI or a vs a human being, it cant know that. It goes off of rating, when rating is meaningless. for gods sake the point where we're at is where it will take silver players to balance out a plat players rating, because it cant even find a single other plat player to put on the other team to go with the 4 gold 2-3s on each team

went fwee

just relog you dont actually get dishonor even though it says you do, you only get it if you stay gone for 90 seconds

Did you start the mission before you got the QPOP? Cause you have to

every spec in this game has broken and unfun mechanics that will never go away, accept it and move on

the evidence of me wintrading is me shitposting on the forums about it, the fact that i myself and a twitch viewer of mine both started the false rumor of me wintrading to see how many people would believe it when i 1st achieved r1 years ago, and that i hang out with wintraders who were caught while i seemingly got away with it after anet and other players investigations into it...

you merely adopted the forums, i was born in them

i love wintrading in an off season that doesnt give any rewards

very surprising that for years that no team of 1600 rated players have decided to simply not wintrade a monthly at to win the monthly at vs all the other 1600 rated players boosting the wintrade crew(since thats the only reason they can win)! or that certain 1600 rated players get 500-0d in any competitive teapot tournament, i guess teapot must be paying people to get 500-0d on stream since it looks so good and clearly pvp looking dead benefits him very odd how no one can seem to escape these wintraders, they simply have no limits! even half of them didnt get any bans or dishonor when anet investigated 100 individual players! have they infiltrated anet too?!?!?!

idk about you but i definitely am wintrading for a title that i already have and dont use on 99% of my characters this season!

what bs vs spectre is a bs favored mu cata dumpsters spectre and bs dumpsters cata

i did what now

It is truly staggering just how many people don't understand that the safer you play the more fragile your advantages are. You can play 2 cap vs 1 cap all game for 8 minutes, but as soon as you lose 1 fight the other team will be in the lead. Believe it or not, theres a difference between playing FOR 3 nodes and rotating and fighting on 3 nodes as well.

very interesting

If its stale after 15 games, you have no idea what you're doing.

this is the last 2v2 or 3v3 season, you can easily go this winrate without wintrading by just qing into bad players at dead timezones though..... why wintrade for a title that you already have, a title that everyone in the top 250 gets forums lmao

nah definitely bugged, flame burst doesnt activate

anyone saying "dodge the dragon slash" is forgetting that Dragon Slash is bugged and can be fired off 2x as much as its intended to. No charging Dragon Slash in 1v1s is strictly better, its not nearly as reactively dodgable and you get the per cast bonuses way more. More interrupts, more endurance. Some classes aren't going to be able to sustain through what in reality is the pitiful damage that a no charge Slash does, but thats the state of a spec like Virt where all of its sustain is through mitigation, and it has no answers to that at all. No charge Dragon Slashing is a tax. It taxes the enemies resources until theyre out of answers to the rest of your kit and die to all the rest of your kit. Most specs cant deal with this, even many of the better specs can't. No one is (or should be) complaining about Dragon Slash when its not being bugged. Then the "just dodge" argument is pretty fair TBH.

why would u 140 into another teams 140 when you dont have a support and they likely do? thats literally the opposite of what you do, you play 3 and try to get kills b4 support rotates in or generate an advantage so large before they rotate in that when they do rotate in, you're still favorites to win the fight, or to a lesser degree, force glyph so the next time you do generate a down and it would get glyphed, it doesnt. also no thief does not go far alone(unless its a spectre and then it can actually 1v1), it goes far with someone when you're expecting 1 on their home node to force a rotation or get a node, then it uses its mobility to outnumber the map. this is conquest 1 0 1, one of the first things you should know and you're here saying the exact opposite. youre also saying a 1v1er leaving a 1v1 at the very start of the game before you are/should be commited and unable to disengage(really should be never btw) to rotate slowly to mid (once again as a 1v1er so no multiple ports, no instant 1 shot deathstrikes or the like when they DO get there), is a bad thing?????? you have free sides, its not on you if ur team dies mid, type in team chat let them know, its up to them at that point. they can bail out guess what, to home, to force a 4v4 on your node, and if they want to 5v4 it then you they dont get the cap mid, in which case you bail out of home and kite and you have mid far or if they do have the full cap at mid cause of the 4v3 for the first 15 seconds, you still have sides with a 1v1 on mid, that they didnt want to take before so chances are its good for you like i dont know how you get so much wrong in 1 spot You are the exact person who damages this game by spreading misinformation, please stop 🙂

you dont have to kill him to generate value, play for the node. you have a ton of projectile mitigation, swirling, mag wave. once you get that node and he cant kill you, thats value for you. its value for you regardless since hes a TFer/Roamer and hes 1v1ing you, and you're not. You're in the right place and hes not, so you're the favorites(should be) to win the fight on the rest of the map. if you're in melee definitely just spam out your primordial stances forcing his very limited cleanse of Crisis Zone and Shift Signet, especially if you're on node to get him off node so you can just cap it while rotating your defensives as for how to not die to him once you have the full cap, well you can LOS, you dont need to be on the node if hes not, then go chase him, if hes running hes not casting skills on you and you can very easily just outsustain mech skills or dodge them since hes kiting and not really damaging you. besides that dodge orbital strike the big laser beam, that thing hits for like 10k

The change is not happening, not because of not wanting to nerf Guardian and Firebrand, the community and Anet both want FB nerfed, however only if there are replacements added to the game to where the game doesn't devolve into an unfun mess in WvW. Like CMC said, Guardian will get nerfed, however group stunbreaks and AOE stab need to be added to other specs at the same time, rather than 1 at a time, leaving an awkward and unfun meta inbetween the 2 release cadences. As for PvE, he explicity said "In World Vs World" if you reread the post.

maybe dont try to win a 3v4 and play slow? if 90% of the time people do a 1-4-0 split then just do a 1-2*-2 split and you have free sides instantly with 2 players being able to match numbers anywhere, the problem is you and practically every other player in ranked doesnt actually know what theyre doing or what they should do, and just do the same thing every game, or does the wrong play every time you cant properly rotate in a game where not everyone knows how to rotate, ranked reflects that where people just try to carry in a way where the lack of understanding from your teammates doesnt matter

fire weaver definitely doesnt die to mech

not mentioning to fix the bugged cd on DT is insane

if you fix the bugs it will be underperforming against the top end specs again, so no need to nerf the sustain, the bugs increase its sustain far more than youd think with the free stuns, charge->might->healing conversion, movement speed, and stab not to mention if you drop a traitline for disci to get back some of that CD on f2, you'll lose plenty of healing and sustain from either strength or tactics, once again putting it in a fine spot sustain wise so fix the bugs, dont nerf it
