New Skill-Based Damage Modifier in Crucible
Since the failed experiment with Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) over Connection Based Matchmaking (CBMM), there is a rumor that we might soon see Skill Based Damage Modifiers (SBDM) in Crucible matches. I have no idea as to whether or not this could be true, however I can speculate to what it could look like. Guardians could be ranked by a number 1 through 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. A 1, 2 or 3 could possibly 2 or 3 shot with a normal 3 or 4 shot primary, where as an 8, 9 or 10 guardian might no longer be able to res-snipe or 2 shot to the body with a sniper rifle. True or not, I am curious what everyone thinks about it. Personally I have been tanking my stats just to see what will happen. Thoughts?
Edit: It has been interesting reading everyone's thoughts and comments for the last 5 hours. In the end, it seems most agree that this would benefit everyone. Lower skilled players could win more, average players wouldn't notice much, and high skilled players could sweat 24/7/365. Personally, I have landed on the side of not implementing SBDM. As a True Capitalist, I believe that winners should win, and losers should lose. I guess we'll see what happens next.

1 ReplyThis damage modification is when a laggy player is teleporting they don't get to do damage till theyre connection improves. Read the patch notes. Damage referee were the exact words so you laggers out there expect to hopefully never get a kill when you have have a terrible connection.

1 ReplySorry Olympic athlete but in order to makes this race fair for all, you will have to run with weights on your ankles. We wouldn't want you to destroy the competition and make people feel badly now would we?

26 RepliesIf they ever do this, everyone who is good will leave. I'm sick of being punished for being good at this game. I put the hours in and I deserve to stomp everyone who is bad at the game. Coddling shitty players in preference to your true fanbase is a horrible strategy.

-blam!- no, never give handicaps to unskilled players when it's a skill based game, the person who is better at the game should not be punished because he's better. It's asinine to even consider punishing the better player, would you punish someone in baseball for consistently hitting homeruns? No because it's -blam!-ing stupid to discourage greatness and the will to become better. The moment you start punishing good players in favor of merit bad players playing, you create a situation where the good players will throw their stats to the winds to play back on even terms with the shitty players. This crating false tier system where the bad players are forced to play with trolling good players, where the bad players will never get better as they are shiit on.... This is a warning because another game "APB Reloaded" suffers heavily from this system you have proposed. They have multisbke tiers of Player skill and such and punishes the middle tier players heavily as they slowly get better they are crushed by good players roaming the lower tiers.
