I think just be hypercritical of your own play is enough.
"Shouldn't have stunned there."
"Should have swapped to melees target."
"Ugh that was a bad swiftcast"
"I should have slept them instead of healed"
"I could have LoSd that"
"Stacks were bad that game, I should have changed marks"

All things you can think about while playing. You don't need a recorder or an expert to be critical of your own play.

Oh, I don't have those expectations of people, haha. You are quoting what I was using as a point to support why it is NOT solely RNG. You can ask on these forums a question regarding PvP you are unsure of if you are LOOKING to improve. You can watch streams and watch people that are doing well and see what they do. You can befriend people you respect and have conversations with them. The information is out there for those who seek it, so really now, do people not have anyone to consult with, or are you pulling my leg?

It's not fair, whether you're the one who lost a member, or the opponent who lost a member, to the 3 people in the party that have to suffer an automatic loss and rank decay at the hands of someone else. Keep the penalty for the deserter, but make the match a draw. So everyone can leave with no gains or losses.

Uhh, that only happens like 1 in 100 games for me, and you know what else? It kind of evens out when people on the other team DC too. It cannot work like you said because people will just leave if they get a bad matchup, unless the person leaving is the only one who gets penalized, and even with that person getting penalized, it allows for shenanigans. I won't argue that what you are saying is a way you can have bad luck, but uhh... to what extent? -25 in 1 month overall? I don't see it as a pressing issue.

Yeah. Only the person who leaves should get the penalty. I've only had someone leave my team one time ever and that was today. But I have seen opponents' members leaving a few times and it sucks that they can't do anything about it. Theoretically.. you could boost someone by leaving every 30mins for a free win.

This is not made up. Players can obtain them, they are not lost forever, just get in top100 or top30 of next seasons. PvP community is small and filled with players without an idea about PvP, if you are serious about it, it shouldnt be a big problem to get a good rating. With the current rating system you lose only in diamond matches like 2 points if your winrate is 50%. In all other tier you make progress with a sub 50% winrate. You dont have to be the best player in the datacenter, just beat the system.

Well there you go then. :p Everyone has approximately 3 1/2 months to get their stuff together, and we'll likely see another round of excuses then too!

Also remember it's preseason and not actually season 4, and don't expect to get queues at 4 a.m. bud buds. ^.^

If you are from the US, then your problem is that you are playing at 6:41am, obviously PVP queues will be bad when everybody is asleep. Reddit has primetime information if you really are interested in competing for the mount rather than complaining about it.

If they're going to make it exclusive for the top 100/top 30 and stick to that - I really wish they'd make mounts accessible account-wide.

It looks like you're intentionally trying to dodge everyone in queue. There are people whom are already at gold or edging playinum on your datacenter and it's only been a week of preseason. Perhaps try queuing at a time that isn't asinine.

I try to queue all day, but due to my schedule there's not much I can do about it. I was still getting "More than 30m" at primetime though. Like I said, I can't hope?

You are on Aether...... I'm getting less than that on Primal, and PVP on primal is much worse

I interview the top 20 pvpers on the primal DC and ask them about the current state of the feast and they gave their opinions and I also ask them about my performance and they all say im doing just fine. I didn't get into the top 100 because of the numerous cheaters and haters who tank my ratings. I reported this to a GM and that GM told me not to worry as they plan to allow players get the mounts in a different way later. Btw, this is all completely made up accusations base on baseless rumors and lies like stupid republicans president.

I think seasonal rewards should be exclusive to those who participated and won them. If they get accessible any other way... i won't benefit as a competitive player.. maybe only from having titles rewards?. I participate for months only to deserve titles? while others are able to get minions and now they want mounts and gears from old seasons? whats the point of competitive seasons then , lol?

I believe if rewards stay exclusive, it will encourage more players competing in the mode to get them and making it active. also SE already give same rewards every 2 seasons for people that lost to have another chance to get them. you already have 2 long chances of each set of rewards for like 3 months each season? I don't see any problem..

Tbh, even if that were the case, it is irrelevant because we are in pre-season. People don't queue as often in pre-season, and you will see queue times drop when season 4 starts.

You seem to be missing the point that 's lot of us are making - it's very difficult to compete against cheaters. When someone has voice announcements telling them when people on the other team are at low HP, have LB ready, low MP etc, combined with the ability to "sprint" out of the way faster than the speed of light, it's NOT A FAIR GAME. It's demoralising & difficult when faced with a team of 4 or 8 players doing this day in, day out.

The funny thing is that you're talking to someone who does a lot of Feast, who knows exactly what you're talking about, yet perseveres.

(Edit: I realize I quoted myself talking about win-traders, but it's still a form of cheating, so it applies.)
