I have solo played PvP in more than 95% of my matches, of that I am absolutely certain. From this experience, I can say with certainty that I have far more influence over a match of Control than I do in Gambit.
Please understand, this is not a statement of ego. The dynamics of Control, once you understand them, make it far easier to be decisive on where you place yourself for fights and where you control the fight-- hence the name. I can play conservatively and have a far better time understanding where the combat line is in Control than I ever could in Clash, and I build out around that.
[url=https://destinytracker.com/destiny-2/profile/steam/4611686018471133516/overview?perspective=pvp]As it stands now for this season[/url], my KAD in Control is 1.96. I've won 11 matches and lost 3. Yes, it is early on but already I feel more confident in that than I ever do in Clash, where my K/D is 0.93 and my KAD is 1.41. As of now, I am in the bottom 17% of players on Clash and the top 1% of players on Control.
Even with a sample sizing this small, it really reflects my sentiment about the matches. My playstyle and mindset (admittedly) sucks for Clash. It's too fluid and too chock full of people who just want to get into a firefight without thought for positioning, [b]AND[/b] it is arguably the worst mode to go into solo where having voice comms on a team will definitely make or break a fight.
Control needs to be on its own, [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/262108027?sort=0&page=0]preferably as the competitive standard.[/url] Unfortunately if that change is to come, it probably won't happen until next season, which is a little over two months away.
When I am feeling like I have tolerance, I'll go into the team quickplay playlist. Otherwise, I'll probably stick to Gambit.

SBMM has killed QP in general.

Same with rumble...why remove the only FFA option and make it a rotation mode? And the valor reputation gains are abysmally slow even with the week rep boost if you aren't playing comp or labs (which is currently 3v3 rift...so...no) They did it...they made PvP feel even worse.

Just give me 24/7 clash with CBMM, and y'all can do what you want with the rest of the game.

I like that clash is put in full time. I would just like the ability to pick what game to play between the two. It’s so annoying that it’s now random.

Use your teammates as a new form of control points to dictate what is essentially the “combat line” as you put it. It will be fluid yes but the information is still there. Sound to me like your having a tougher time in duels since you are now your opponents main target as opposed to the zone in control.
