Matchmaking
There's a serious problem in bungies matchmaking process where even within a single match the matchmaking is completely wrong.
I Don't only mean that good players are being matched against poor ones, but the actual lobby balancing needs assessing.
In my last 8 games of trials, the supposedly skill based 🤦♂️🙄, must win 7 matches in a row part of d2's pvp
The last 8 matches had one team with the following chances of winning:
80%
80%
85%
95%
81%
75%
72%
And there was one balanced match with %56
This was freelance trials, not team trials
There is no reason why those percentages should be occurring in freelance trials, why are the best players in a lobby being put on the same team so often?

There is no sbmm in Trials, and we all know how capable Bungie are at balancing teams. They even admitted it themselves.

Edited by BraddyBo: 9/28/2022 10:57:43 AMTrials doesn’t have sbmm and lobby balancing isn’t active in freelance (it’s completely random).

1 ReplyWould think sbmm would have been used in trials where it was actually needed badly not control where literally noone cares on top of that ive been getting kicked constantly this weekend with error code bee bat etc... Even so often that i got quitter penalty when i never quit once and was getting kicked for error codes and yes my connection is 200mbps not on my end just been worse this weekend than ever and one weekend i actually wanted to grind trials and its impossible to do literally

There is nothing to complain... PvP is bad, matchmaking even worse, balance between classes and weapons call to the god of whatever, cheaters rock in trials and survival... And you can't expect any of this to get changed. The only thing we can do is writing here and discuss for nothing. That is what I learned last days.

1 ReplyEdited by HIHAHIHO: 9/28/2022 1:16:42 PMHmmmmm let seeeee (50%)^7 = 0.78% so only 0.78% players (now is around 30% I think) gonna get flawless if you want team balance to be 50% good luck with that

That win percentage is silly.. I usually win matches in control on my own just by getting 2 captures and keeping them 2 captures. Trials today was a joke. Didn’t even have to try to win. Am gonna say it that control was harder this week than going flawless 😵💫🤣

Welcome to the Bungie team balancing. People think SBMM would solve anything but it’s Notbehelfe core issue

8 RepliesTrials has no sbmm (luckily) so freelance is literally just luck of the draw. My suggestion is get better or stack up so you can control how bad the players you are playing with are. I am sure you will dismiss both of these ideas though because they require some form of effort and thats not what players want

Your speaking facts. The light level advantage messes me up more than anything. I went flawless for the first and only 2 times the season that reeds regret and shayura’s wrath dropped. I get that they don’t want cheaters to keep just making accounts once they get banned but I think they should hard cap the light at 15-20 above the season minimum. I have lost 1 v 1 more because of light level than them being better than me. I am mostly a PvP player getting touched by a weapon once and dying instantly and I have to empty an entire mag using the same gun to kill them is demoralizing.

It's almost like Bungie is catering to people's request for freelance, but are then sabotaging it with poor matchmaking/lobby balancing just so they can say see, you didn't really want that...

5 RepliesEdited by eeriearcade: 9/27/2022 10:54:24 AMFreelance Trials is basically lobby division roulette (there is no lobby balancing). If you’re a strong player, you guarantee at least one strong player on your team (yourself). Everything else is down to the luck of how the lobby gets randomly divided. That’s why I have no interest in it, despite Elimination being my favourite game mode. I’d love to know how many Freelance Trials matches are decided “before a single shot is fired”.

2 RepliesGate keepers using cheats most of them plus I don't think trials is sbmm which is dumb considering its comp but if you have money you can pay to go flawless state of the game
