...exist purely because "try hard" pre-mades can't play a ranked mode with their friends. My friend and I mercy ruled three teams in a row last night in salvage purely because we could talk to eachother and they weren't communicating. I was also the recipient of a whooping from a pre-made in rift three minutes ago. It's because of this pre-made imbalance that I average a 1.4 k/d while almost never actually getting a 1.4 k/d. Some games I'm 2-3.0, others I'm .5. I feel like you could alleviate a lot of the need for the mercy rule simply by giving competitive players a better outlet for playing as a team: a ranked system for varying team sizes.
Trials was a good start/idea, but just not nearly enough. Bungie practically created competitive FPS' for console. I convinced my friend to play Destiny last night and his very first question was how the ranked system worked and whether or not it was like Halo's ranked system. I told him there wasn't one. He was immediately put off of the game. What PvPer wants to play crucible all day with nothing to work towards? It doesn't even need to be loot; simply a rating on a ladder to be competitive. All of Bungies most successful games have had some sort of ranked PvP system. Why doesn't Destiny? I love Destiny, but PvPers want to be competitive and the only outlet being a supposedly "casual" playlist is really toxic for the game. Give us somewhere else to go, and the crucible won't be such a crap shoot all the time!
*ranked doubles pls omg*

Someone was talking about competitive teams on here, and I seriously laughed. GTA has better competitive outlets than Destiny. All they really need is private matches with the options to pick and choose maps/game modes. it's not difficult, and that way you could keep all of the fake pro clans that have nothing better to do with their time, out of the regular crucible, or at least give them that as a better option to persuade them out. It gets tiring as a solo player joining PvP, and I can have a couple of great games, with randoms against a clan, but then they decide to communicate and even though they were clearly garbage individually, as a unit when communicating it just changes the whole game. I don't know about giving them ranked leaderboards, because the usually ends up with people developing even worse attitudes in the community and it would quickly end up like Call of Nooby. Private matches would be good though.

wtf are you going on about, pretty much everything is ranked and the top 1 percents use http://destinytracker.com/

I got 5100 points in a clash match yesterday playing solo, sorry not sorry, I need wins for my quests so im trying to win even if it means being sweaty and i have to carry 5 scrubs. stomping with my clan group usually just leads to a quick end and an easy mercy medal :p.

You mercy ruled 3 teams, all by yourself? Man, you must have a huge c*%k

Looking for elimination team ? Anyone ? Add me naseem041085.

Sorry all I read was something....sonething....something....ranked play. Then I laughed. Then I laughed till I almost shed a tear. But I don't do that she'd a tear thing. Still laughing my ass off. If you feel the need to compete in a "ranked" game, there are plenty of competitive and balanced fps, esport quality games. "Shakes head....." But this is not one.
-
not everything need to be competitive, what about the people who just want to have fun, sure have a competitive play list but there need to be a place for the people who see video games as just a bit of fun
-
THIS would be really -blam!-ing nice...
-
DTR/stat grind. That's what you have to look forward to in destiny pvp. Just pray you don't get team banged by sweaty premades match after match.
-
This game is dedicated to casuals, what do you expect? People who still Pubstomp disgust me though, so I wouldn't mind any change that stops that.

Titan looking for salvage or elimination team gt harpazoid xb1
-
ive been given mercy before yet still have a kd above 2, so i dont know why your stats are going to be affected because of pre made teams
-
I'm not familiar with alot of the competitive jargon I see, what is 'pub stomping?' I assume, from your description that it's ac well organized group destroying a group of 6 randoms, or smaller groups that got matched together

This would just add even more playability and longevity to the game. Please add this!
