I really want to know how developers play pvp (ranking arena).Where can I see the video? I want to know how he handles career balance when he encounters 1vs2.

Some teammates, do not follow the rules of the game, do meaningless battles, what should I do? How to balance my experience?

Talk to them, or try to carry hard.

Devs don't play pvp. They used to, but not anymore. If they do, I too would be interested to watch the matches.

Devs playing and balancing pvp are like a fat sumoringer (swiss and thijsken) balancing on a rope.

Well, devs do not need to be a highly skilled pvpers to balance the game. People assume skill = understanding balance, it is not. After all, Tom Brady does set the NFL rules.

Though, I do expect devs to perform detailed testing and respond to issues fast. They do neither. On top, they rarely perform detailed work to understand why something is an issue. That is why most resolutions end up breaking more stuff.

No Capcom developer has ever won a Street Fighter tournament.

Anet should have official pvp twitch channel. Devs playing various off-meta builds in high level platinum! That would be something.That would be a really good way to justify the class unbalance and the mm malfunction what we are whining about is not true.

True but Anet seems to lack in both currently (it wasn't like that during vanilla, a lot of base balance that didn't get destroyed by hot of pof balance still makes sense and still is balanced, one of the biggest things Anet never got right is the relation between passive sustain and dmg output, core dd cele ele as example and the design of condis). The lack of both, pvp experience and game understanding, lead in the few devs playing pvp do it in maybe gold or lower then communicte all the gold and lower propaganda together with the forum propaganda which mostly is just on that lvl to the balance team and voila we get balance dumping down classes instead make it more skillbased, nerfing the wrong things, making builds unplayable without even addressing the right things. In short: balance for the casual and low skilled player wanna spam skills and get rewarded even when lack mechanical skill, awareness and with a deep wish of not facing anything that needs skill to play (so can't carry them) but also not facing anything needs skill to play against (so will rekt them).

They don’t play their game.

Badly, as you can see.
