The modes are awful and the rewards are trash too. The rank system funnily enough is the smallest issue and they continue to target it as the problem despite not being the problem a year ago: they made it into a problem with their recent changes. The validity of the rank system only exists if there are enough players playing to prevent average players from randomly being forced into an Ascendent lobby. Bungie refuses to let people grind the weapons, refuses to let people get good artifice armor at any reasonable rate, and just hands out a near god roll of the weapon after your first 7 games. Not to mention how instant and infinite revives allow for essentially uncounterable snowballs: the disadvantaged team has to cleanly wipe the enemy’s entire team all at once in a short time while the advantaged team can just slowly whittle away at the enemy and spam revives whenever someone is down. The spawns are awful, especially on zones, where the place you spawn can literally alter the outcome of the entire match. It’s no wonder no one is playing this playlist. -Frustrating rank system -Horrible rewards -Poorly designed gamemodes
