PVP is awful. Here is how to fix it.

I have come to the conclusion that PVP is awful in this game. The actual gameplay is OK. Everything else about pvp is just bad tho.

1) The matchmaker sucks; there is no skill matching, there is no gearscore matching, there is no premade que. This leads to imbalanced one sided curbstomps where one side gets an easy win, and the other side gets nothing.

2) The scoring sucks; there is no incentive to actually put in any effort, and no penalty for leaving early, so most matches someone ragequits and requeues as soon as it becomes apparent their side is not going to be the side to get an easy win.

3) The rewards suck - there is no long term goals, no competitive challenge. There should be weekly / monthly pvp leaderboards with unique cosmetic rewards and titles, awarded based on win loss ratio - with a quit counting as a loss.

4) Oh, and the controls suck; finishing an enemy off should be a different button then inspecting an ally.

5) More maps please. You need at least 3 maps available at all times for a good rotation.

    Now you get almost nothing if you lose, no matter how good you perform. The match can end up with 1000/999 and you would get like 100-200 glory for that if you lost, but was on top of score board. So why even try if I see my team losing? I'd just leave.
    M6 almost drains your soul given how boring it is. (c) joocycuzzzzzz

    Not that getting that 1000 Glory is such an awesome award lol :)

    Exactly my point. Current design promotes this kind of attitude. It is not good for the quality of pvp matches -instead of one pvp match where 10 people are fighting against each other, there are 2 pvp matches with 5 people on one side and nobody on the other.

    Thing is, even when you win, you still lose, since you have to stand around and do nothing while you wait for your glory, because the other team ragequit.

    PvP is it's own reward - if people are actually pvping. PvP is boring, when the other team quits and all there is to do is stand around waiting for the match to end.
