There should be zero rewards for losses, and actually lose pips for losses in a row.

If you can't tell be the replies, the game is a casual dumpster fire on its last days.

Not the whole game. Just PvP.

I have found it's vastly improved the more liberal you are at blocking anyone being toxic though

You simply can not reward losers or losing. It does not build character or competitive spirit. It does not matter if mcskeevey doesnt want his time wasted. His time needs to be useless when he loses, so his gain will be knowledge and improvment and desire to lose less. Awarding anything for a loss is why most people fail, even in life. You have to hold people accountable. They might feel uncomfortable, but it will cause growth. Why do you think that nothing you tried worked? No balancing worked? Nothing worked? Because you rewarded bots, afkers, and quitters. This is why the mode failed, 100%. Some will say e-sports, or no development, but rewarding losers is why the mode failed. You must, absolutely must, reward only winning. Actually, rating loss should be even more stronger for losses. Also, the average player is not gold, so the soft reset should not be (rating +1200)/2...it should be rating previous season, and you get what you got after 1o placements with the same volatility. Players should more frequently end up in low silver and bronze. They are that terrible. The climb should be difficult for everyone, and no more duo q, at least not with anyone far from your own rating. This mode needs to be stricter, as is, it is a joke.

 

Of course sir, right away.

 

Anet, please kitten off majority of players who gets unlucky team mates asap. And that crowd which is (987x22/5)*9!*π*|sin33+cos55| of the minority playing pvp just for getting whatever item they are chasing, tell them to go fork themselves in the eye.

 

Nobody's awarding people that fail. Maybe that was the case in early 19th century, or around the industry revolution when child workers forced to work in factories, but in 21st century, we reward people who try, participate and contribute. I don't know what type of environment did you grow up in, but from this point forward, you should quit giving real life references to define a video game's rewarding system.

it seems to me that ranked needs to be split into team Q and Solo Q, like back in GW1.

 

if the OP idea is implemented, it seems to me that: sPvP will simply die, because nobody wants to play GW2 without rewards.

[TheQuickFox.3826]

I don't agree with the Op suggestion. It won't change anything.

 

It's still 5v5. 5 players will win. 5 will lose. Rewards are already significantly better for winning than for losing so every player plays to win right now.

Having no rewards for losing isn't going to give you a better chance of being on the winning team nor get you better or more motivated team members.

Having no rewards for the efforts of a lost game will just lead to more frustration and toxicity.

 

I would say: Leave it as it is and get some other measures against botting, like having to complete a captcha every x hours of sPvP gaming.
