[quote]Y'all guys feel free to share down below as well. [/quote] The problems I encountered with SBMM so far: 1. A few players lagging, sometimes so hard it looked like old "lagswitching" from Destiny 1. Reported them for Network Manipulation, just to be sure. If there is nothing going on behind the scenes there will be no consequences for them because of my suspicion. 2. Realized how bad some gun archtypes are in the game atm. Was also playing Sidearms. Very annoying how basically every other sidearm than 260 RPM is much better in PvP by default. 3. PvP still suffers from too much Special Weapon uptime and no special ammo boxes on the map. Back in Destiny 1 players had to go to "less populated" spots on maps to get special ammo from boxes, resulting in more "off-lane" play in general. We need that back imo. SBMM won't fix it by itself. 4. Stacks, as you said already, pre-defined matches. Very unfriendly experience for Solo Players (hint: I am no solo player, but all my PvP friends quit D2 with Year 1) 5. SBMM may give you better team mates in case of getting kills, but I had also so often players just ignoring Zones and just going for the kills, resulting in most of my teams to lose because of point difference. (Seriously guys, stop being handicaps and play how the mode is intended to be played!) 6. Sometimes it seems you are playing a SBMM match against equal opponents, but in the very same match literally no gun works out for you and you just die constantly. I have Unbroken gilded 5 times, working on the 6th... And it feels in such matches like I am a bloody beginner to the game. Idk if this is just guns not working as they should or lag... But definitely not fun to play.

I much prefer being able to use special weapons from the get-go, it makes destiny unique in a good way. It's a lot more fun than having most of the match without it. I genuinely think primaries are in a good spot at the moment, and are genuinely lethal. Bungie just needs to reduce the efficiency of radiant healing, free OS that void titans get etc. so that you don't HAVE to use a special weapon because that's the only counter to the out of control BS abilities.
