Ah yes the classic about finding excuses. "they duo on alt that is silver!" as mentioned before busting this myth you take the rating from the highest duo to be applied this has been confirmed in the past and can be found in the algorithm so stop telling nonsense. It was possible back in s5~ to do this but got fixed years ago. I can't speak for NA about dodging etc but I encourage other people to come queue at the same time as I do in EU times 20.00->22:00.Then we can get games like this: Everyone here is 1700-1800+ which id say is a good game. But as i have mentioned beforeadd 2v2 atsremove unrankedmake ranked soloq only ezfix could also apply what they had back in the dayIn Season 9, players ranked Platinum 2 (1,600) and above could no longer duo-queue in Ranked matches while seasons are active. [3] However, this was reverted in Season 13. [4] idk how people felt about that @ 00.47 secs you just teled through rock wall to other side. Golf clap. Hacking confirmed no lol, Ive just never seen anyone in NA do that. Almost 9000 games later and ive learned something new. No sarcasm I was seriously impressed someone found that gap in Anet logic... Inb4 it becomes a thing in NA, good thing people don't read forums. also although it goes unsaid regardless, good thiefing. Ive never watched you play before. The way you engage/pull back and reset, the timing is perfect 99%. Wish I had thieves in NA who could play like this regularly. Instead 80-90% are "warrior" thieves. I already watch his videos and Vallun. When I first see them do this I realize I have smol brain. ewww, vallun.so many consistently better FBs like Baristan.Im gonna get some hate for this but its ok. Vallun and vallenous are two different pploh yea, well intention is the same even if I have a foot in my mouth.

or split ranked into solo q/team que categories whether it be duo/trio/full teams. This would shake up rankings a lot.

no point, rating is completely rng, unless anet start to get listen to the players that wants to actually play pvp and start proactively banning bots, match thrower and manipulators trash think rating is rng, if you are gold or silver it's not because you are unluckythe fact that you think rating definitively is a indicator of skill is laughable on so many levels I am quite literally the only person in the last 5 seasons with a negative record that top 250s regularly with a base 50/50 of 1600ish usually .I can swing 200+ rank points in a sitting either way. explain to me how i can get top 100 with -20 Wins vs Loses Solo que is RNG 5-6 days a week. With a few "golden hour" timeslots that are much easier to climb in. you making a blanket statement like you did speaks to your active ignorance of how MMR works vs the way its being cheated thru various methods including its own janky algorithm that punishes people who like to play more than min required matches just for the sake of pvping. On the other side of your ignorance I wish you could've seen Naru(#1 on boards, regardless of trash talk rumors or W/E consistently) 2 seasons ago humping 1500-1550 for almost 2 weeks and then just smashing thru anyone trying to go from gold 3-plat 1 with his 1800 duo after he solo Qued for the first part of season. Even 1800s get que fucked if they just play without regard and no duo. everything below 16001650 is a que clusterfuck 90% of the time since gold 3s get qued and these days they cant be bothered to read UI/rotate properly against mismatching or shit even cleanse condis correctly

No wonder matchmaking is so bad if you guys really think average mmr makes balanced teams. Honestly....this match seemed pretty fair 1 - ~1400 player on each team2 ~ 1300 players on each team2 ~ 1200 players on each team and about a ~200 rating gap between highest and lowest rated player pear team.this aint so bad, srsly. in no world should a gold 3 be in a silver 3 game. That is just lazy algorithm compensating for lack of que to push out the idea that pvp is not dead playerbase wise.same applies to gold 2/3s in plat 1550+games or splitting 2 plat 2/3s in a predominantly gold 3 game thinking they balance each other out because they don't they are plat 3 for a reason to the point where'll they'll just mismatch farm the weaker gold 2 that feeds/ rotates poorly to win or straight 1vX hold far/ home while team rolls rest of map then pop away out of fight like a good kite. So @Ben Phongluangtham.1065 no its not fair nor is it a healthy mmr system. Weve been telling you guys this for almost 4 yrs. So much so a good chunk of people match manip ques to cheat/wintrade/bot so hard now it killed ranked pvp and all sense of accomplishment.

your mistake began the second you stayed in que for more than 4 minutes. MMR is so fucked that matches like that are guaranteed to be 1 sided as theyre pulling people from outside normal que base to compensate for lack of players queing at that specific moment. not to mention forcing all accounts to be 50/50 as MMR default when playing more than 2 matches ina row without stopping. Duoing helps with this but your still likele to get a gold 2 in plat 1/2 match. All the more if youre on a 3 game + win streak solo. iTs quite literally a rigged system that requires you to carry 1+people to stay on streak. Just flat out exit que if it takes longer than 4 minutes. Take a break and arena or unranked or hop on alt account.

I think he used monkey boarding wrongly. I challenge all of you to be able to do what that tiny creature just did and not blow a ACL

I don't recall any match that ever mattered being impacted by a treb shot. New players do not fire once and leave, they sit on it for half the match or more while the rest of the team 4v5's. theres is one single situation where treb benefits your team and it requires you to have 2 caps and an enemy that zergs like gold 2s while at the same time 1-2 are on death CD to balance the mismatch treb gives. Its all moot though in plat where people press V or have eyes. so yeah remove treb 99% of the time youre gonna get trolled by teammate and get full map rolls that most times you cant recover from if people cant rotate properly.

just this gazelle and bird pets are the only ones that need dmg nerf on f2s everyone that says GS needs nerf right after they buffed don't understand the lack of defense skills rangers have unless you kit utilities/traits and if you do go that way the lack of sustained burst on pew/GS. those that complain about troll ungeunt don't understand how easy it is to interrupt/outdamage 1k ticks with consistent dps especially condi. Condi hard counters rangers so hard its silly to the point where wilderness spec is a must or youre just asking for death 90% of time. Also no one seems to be mentioning that Troll ungeunt is literally the only viable heal skill in competive play. heal as one is niche and only works with 1 type of boonstacking pew build/bear stance is trash/ healing spring only works on trap builds with WH on 1 offhand/nature to stack regens/combo healing field which no one runs because theres no stab and water spirit is a joke. Most of you peoples problems with ranger(specifically SB) is your lack of build knowledge and awareness wasting stunlock bursts on stab/protect/dolyak/sotp and suddenly 2/3rds of your bar is on CD because you cant read UI or don't play chess with skills. Its really bad considering 90% of pew rangers CDs are stupidity spread out in any kind of combo minus maul+hilt bash refresh so if they miss their combo or get interrupted its easy. switness/superspeed away from GS its useless. Los/invuln/dodge roll pew 2 its useless all they have left is bow 5 to dmg while they wait for CDs or wep swap. getting caught inbetween wep swap CDs/bad swaps is death for rangers. rangers are also one the least used classes in competitive teamplay behind reaper which only one person I know of plays well(shoutout to R U WHO U). It means a lot, we have almost no use that another class cant do better in the right hands. sidenode 1v1ing/bunking/+1ing/teamfighting. The fact that 80% of ranked Sbs are pewing is just a sheepy desire to pewpew with no sense of danger with extremely low skill cap because its easy to pat yourself on the back from 1500m away with clarity block while enemy is 1v1ing excluding the handful of plats that are the exception and if your dying to smoke f2 + Gs3 +GS 2+GS4+GS2 +Bow4+bow2 combos in between their stab then its a you skill problem. I say this as a p2 ranger main who does not touch bow inb4 someone cries that im biased. Theres about 3 bow users that are hard to pvp against(all are plat 3/top 15 every season they play) and 1 of them that is highly unbeatable(Euratien) any other is free evade bow 2 stab for bow 4+hilt and stunlock after boonripping stab. For those of you that don't have immediate access to rips should look at your sigil options. anyways this is all nonsense to begin with, the only people complaining about pew ranger are g2/low g3.

the second you used "toxic" inappropriately I ….. kids throwing around this word so much to justify mehness

sigh, this russles my jimmies so hard, khylo/djinn are the worst in ranked. 1 gold on your team and its gg. god forbid you get a Mesmer/warrior trebbing or players forcing far on enemy wipes/ leaving freecaps to 3v1 offpoint or on 1 side of map achieve points and ignorance of how map dictates rolls via mismatches or they play thief and well cancer breeds cancer

they nerfed spirits so hard 4 yrs ago no one has used since. a lot f ranger utility is just straight useless in pvp along with a whole trait line of spirit utilities.

if you think heralds evades are why youre losing then I think we should just lock the thread... 3 evades including V x 2, must be joking

but it would still be unbalanced, some people are just pro que dodging match manip foos

Stealth, Teleport, Blink never existed in origin Guild Wars. No wonder why, they are Toxic-broken and will always be Toxic because Toxic mechanic like them absolutely have no place in the world of Guild Wars Period!! (also Please! remove pulling mechanic because it is kitten child-play-being thrown around like a yow-yow is very immature gameplay design) monkeys say toxic this much.... don't be a monkey and l2p

I just laughed too hard reading this.... bring back hammer guard

yea but what happens when you fight Axe/Axe, GS SB? wait, nvm. I'm the only one....

÷1 I have to agree with you -as a former Ranger Profession player, theyve come a long way of neglect. To be honest: as their name says...range. They are the King of ranges, (not Warriors, Engineers, Elementalist or Thief Professions..not anyone) their range attacks should hit the longest and hardest and that is well deserved- Umm no rangers are rangers cuz they range the land(survivalist) that's is proficient in ranged and melee combat, just so happens the favor bows for obvious reasons for ranged engagements and usually swords/axes for melee. There is no reason a ranger should be more proficient than any other ranged profession. The range in ranger does not stand for ranged engagements.are you seriously dictating what a class should and shouldn't be able to do from lore names. kitten facepalm

Seen this argument made before and strongly disagree, if you limited pets like that then you'd effectively kill Rangers competitive build diversity and force everyone to start playing the same generic Soulbeast builds.Nobody is going to run a Druid.. a healing spec for the Smokescale and Core Ranger will more or less be pushed out of the game mode entirely.If you forbid non specs to used expansion pets then you'd also have to restrict the core pets elite specs could use too otherwise they would be blatantly superior to core class and that's something i'm pretty sure the Devs have said in the past they absolutely don't want elite specs to be.Well no one is going to resitrct core pets being combined with elites thats just silly but the other way around is possibly fair game. To reverse ideals of killing ranger build diversity this it means effectively that the ranger is potentially back peddling on 1 or 2 pets which is also not good. On this I agree, but rather than restrict those pets to elite specs I'd much rather see the other pets be improved or completely revamped to make them more useful and unique. Based on what i heard this wont happen unless anet decides to pretty much revamp the core game from the ground up but i mean.... dreams. It's not so much that Ranger is dead without smokescale or Deer etc it's that locking those pets behind specific specs means that you are effectively limiting people to a very small amount of viable builds.You say everyone is running these specific pets now on various builds but if you restrict them to the specs only then that problem is going to turn into every ranger is running the exact same cheapo OP build that everyone hates.That just leads to cries of nerf this nerf that (as we saw with the Soulbeast Sic-Em damage) and if the Devs do decide to nerf the build due to excessive use then that will effectively kill the Ranger entirely by screwing it's only viable playstyle and forcing people into other roles they're not interested in playing.. to which most will just take up another class entirely so they can keep playing high dps. In truth anything thats over used that feels way too cheap will always be complained about to needing nerfs. To that statement is why we saw rampage get over nerfed the way we did because you pressed 1 button and either you immediately win via cc damage chain or the person is prepared for it but has to blow hella defenses against it to ensure they didnt take 12k in a single strike. Overall when it didnt work it was just scary but when it did work it just felt extra cheap. People demanded it be culled. Sickem was much of the same thingMurge > Sickem > Elite skill > Rapidfire.... or Maul and Target died before they knew what hit em. Ideally 1 shot builds, skills, or mechanics just dont need to exsist on the level that most of them do in the game right now. Even if its a really competitive build or not its just not fun getting one shot. People dont like "not getting to play" regardless of their skill level, thats just universal feeling you want to feel impactful even if you die in the end as a result. IF you die without being able to have done anything right away its not a good feeling. People will demand culling and pick up their spears. It's true there are a number of pets that get little to no use what so ever.. For example I can't recall the last time I saw someone running around with a Krytan Drakehound or a White Moa bird.Imo the problem lies not in that SmokeScale and Deer are exceptionally good though.. it's that most other pets are pretty garbage at standard or just stand inferior to others due to their abilities falling short of other pets or Ranger skills. True.Tiger see's little use because Fury is so easily obtained from other sources, the best thing Tiger can contribute to really is 100% fury uptime but that can be obtained easily without it as well so overall kinda useless pet tbh which really sucks for me since Tigers are one of my favourite animals. Fire Wyvern is a cool one but it's F2 is so abysmally bad it's not even funny.Pathetic burn on what is a bad joke of a cast time.. far better off getting a fire field from Torch instead. Electric Wyvern isn't too bad though, I've taken to using it recently to add some more CC to my build.It can provide some decent CC for a pet, Cripple, Wing Buffet, the F2 and the lightning field can all provide CC which is pretty great, specially if your build was lacking in it like mine was.I can't speak as much for PoF pets though, I haven't really used them personally so i've little familiarity with them. People really do discredit Electric Wyvern a bit too much its not so bad of a pet tbh.Alot of the PoF pets aside from the creepy bush and the strange tongue worm thing are rarely used i know one is a cat that like blinks or something then you have the sand lion which looks like it would have potential but in reality its just kinda meh. I feel like they should expand on at least the HoT and PoF pets to open up options a bit more and maybe at least try to temp people away from just smokescale. It is a pretty strong block, I guess that's the tradeoff for the removal of evade though.I thought the evade on auto was fine. As did I, I made a Ranger build based around high evasion just for fun and I enjoyed it until the Greatsword change took away the only backup evade weapon that was viable to my Sword Dagger combo.At least I got the block now but it's not the same. Agreed, that was pretty broken. This part is fine no one will argue that counter attack was bad before if someone hit you at ranged but it did kind of make the gs predictable and could force the block to be ended early i just think as it is right now gs block should not be outperforming warrior shield block but thats just me. Minor number adjustment really only need to be made there. Again I agree, I like Warrior Shields but GS block shouldn't be outperforming a Shield.. I mean, it's a friggin shield!! that's it's primary function!! XDWarriors do get access to projectile reflect on block though but if you ask me that should not be a trait, it should be a default part of the shield block skill. I use the Smokescale myself largely for it's CC which is something I lack on my actual Ranger but the damage it deals and it's sturdyness is nice to have too.It is a well rounded pet compared to others that I definitely agree with. The thing with Smokescale though and by extention some othe rexpansion pets is that it's easy to see these pets as better because a good number of them have very uniqe catagories and abilities. There is only one Smokescale, one Deer, one Iboga, one Jacaranda and One Bristle Back. meanwhile other pets like Sand Lion and Tiger get lumped into the Feline category where they're competing against other felines for abilities/utility while trying to avoid becoming clones of another Cat but also still having to be restricted to the feline stat set.Hell the pet system could be entirely redeisgned so that you could customize your pets role and what skin your using could be purely cosmetic.Rather than pick between 7 cats you could just pick Feline, pick the skin/F2 ability and then choose what stat role you want, offensive, defensive, CC, support etc.. that would be so much better than what we currently have atm. I really like this last bit as an idea overall tbh at least with being able to just pick the f2 ability that would feel more like you trained x pet to do x thing rather than swapping to a whole new one altogether. Though like i said im not demanding smoke scale nerfs but its certainly a pet to keep an eye on for now. Ive always felt like ranger was one of the stronger professions and i still think it is and i dont think that it shouldnt be. But i do think that all the others should be right up there with it (at least on a core level) and undoubtably many of them are not. The main reason why people ask for nerfs is because they hate to lose...not because of the validity of their claims. The use of smokescale got nothing to do with their defeat and it's rather hilarious that people think the smokescale is the reason the ranger wins, the pet has seen already several nerfs..so many that it's completely useless outside a niche fightning scenario in 1v1.... The CC provided by smokescale is neither unique or random ...ulterior nerfs to the pet are pointless..as you will realizebut those blinds are too good in 1v1s along with evade f2otherwise yea much better pets exist

because match manip que dodging is real

ty this is everything I want to say. This map is awful, too small to a point where the caps are too close and you can zerg roll other team too easily

TLDRI'm a thief, I don't like it when rangers kill me using my own tactics... needs nerf
