Comp Arena needs to be a bit less random

ok is it me or in competitive arenas getting a team of 2 monks seems to kinda retarded. everytime i get a team wiht 2 monks we win 10+ and everytime i face one with 1 on with no monk, my team loses -_-; i thin arenanet should at lease make it so that no team can get more then one monk.

I completely dissagree... I've played through it a million and one times... anytime i have a really good character i'm testing... and at least one other good player (Good skills + useage + res sig) then i'll win with or without a monk... a good mesmer tears down a monk + any other caster at the same time... so really, it all depends on the build, and the possibility of people using the self heals that are in every profession (Yes, every proffesion has a way of healing itself, and if a team carries this, they normaly win 9/10).

Although, win i play as a monk, i do normaly win untill i get placed against a good mesmer/ranger... spell breaker nulls the mesmer... but a good ranger is always very pesky... and very annoyingly good.

I guess what i'm saying is... If you get placed with other good players, you'll win... most people that play guild wars, as i've noticed... well... really aren't good at all...

I remember having a nice run with 3 Rangers and a monk once. The rangers all had pets and strong beast mastery, so it was a little like having a 7 man team. We kicked butt until someone just had to leave.

Anyway, I think the key in the comp arenas is more about having good players and not so much the mix. Though, a team with 4 good players, two of whom are monks, would be pretty tough.

The only thing I find truly annoying when playing in the arena is when I get teamed with two other people with the same profession. Having 3 monks, or 3 necros or 3 elementalists, in most cases, really sucks. I'd really like to see some checks going on server side to try and create more balanced teams automatically.

I was on a team where our fourth man dropped early, the other team had a monk, and we still kicked their behind. Monk doesn't = autowin.
