Checkmate Control does not feel like Destiny 2

The vibes in this mode are -blam!- rancid man. My instincts and many of my skills from playing this game for the better part of a decade are worthless. This might be fun as an [u]alternative[/u] mode, but right now I don't have a casual PvP mode that I can hop into after work, switch my brain off, and blow off some steam. In my opinion, at time of writing it is too drastic of a divergence from what Destiny 2 PvP has been since the end of the double primary system and it should have remained in labs for at least another season.

    That should be fine. Even a lot of people that play 6v6 at a consistently higher level might not want that as the main 6v6 mode. That node has always been the foundation of pvp whether it's been quickplay or control or cbmm or sbmm. And both sides have tried to ignore that at different times. The game also doesn't need to stagnate on just having the pvp PvE half and half experience in every pvp mode. There's times when the game would be doing that just to do it and it would end up being to the detriment of whatever mode. Years of just nothing but that isn't a good idea either. Some slop is successful though. Like IB was overall. Pinwheel matchmaking to the extreme some of those weeks. A lot of the reason that may have even made it into the game is because of the desire to have more people that play 6v6 doing endgamerer pvp modes. So those modes, like comp would then need to be not stupid in appear to the people they are pretending to be mostly for. Trials works fine as basically "as needed" btw. That mode somewhat depends on all the other parts of the game having satisfied people in them. It can be a draw but better really pumping prizes so it's going to have its population swings. TLDR: Classic control became the main pvp mode in the game over time. Just as an example I avoid it like the plague when it's a certain kind of sbmm. But with something like the sword kills for guilding glorious that's probably where I would be doing that if there want a rotator match that week. And there's a ton of things through the season that are like that for everyone. Checkmate and sometimes even quickplay just aren't always bounty modes like that.
