How I beat skill based matchmaking

I was having a rough time in crucible. My kd was dropping fast, I didn't feel as confident and I need a change . That change brought me back to year one status and I have seen a dramatic increase in my output since changing my mindset and strategy.

  • I can't seem to get my kd above 1 lol, forget that 2.whatever shit. Thing is, sometimes I crush in crucible and have some amazing games, then as quick as I won a game, I'll be chucked into a match with folks who are clearly far better than me. This frustrates the hell outa me I gotta be honest

      SBMM is easy to beat if you're like me. I'm one of the best crucible players in the world so SBMM never finds someone even close to my level since there's maybe 1-2 people who are better than me and they don't play during the same time I do. So if you want to be matched with weaker player, raise your game Edit: just owned (redacted but you know who you are) 1v1! He didn't even get 1 kill I am untouchable

      • I forgot just how big of difference SBMM makes until I played on my sister's account recently. Didn't drop below a 3.0 in a single game and every team was trash. Kinda funny, actually.

        • This seems troubling to me, that you would want to go into games against people you know you can beat rather than test yourself with those of a comparable skill level.

              Playing PVP solo right now is the worst, I need a shower after a few games. I manage to go positive 95% of the time but damn is it sweaty as hell. I feel like every single game is a 9-0 Trials match! I just wanna go and try out some weapons sometimes, instead I'm constantly forced to use Mida just to get a 1.2 K/D!

              • I think this is the right attitude. We're all playing the same game with basically the same tools. If what you're doing isn't working, try something different. I recently switched back to Gunslinger because Nightstalker just wasn't working out for me, and, while the results vary, it's been nice just for the change of pace. Sick gameplay, by the way. I'll be sure to run the hell away on the off chance our path's cross in the Crucible.

                  Play with friends of various skill levels. For whatever reason the matchmaking system doesn't put you into the most laggy games, games in progress, or fighting against a stacked team. PS. The lesser skilled friends don't have to be the fireteam leader. Edit: Loved the music

                • Mida, check. Conspiracy theory, check. Another garbage crutch user, check. You'll literally drop to 1.0 if you stopped used your easy mode crutches.

                  • I recently just started a new Profile....like 4 days ago....all new from scratch, I loved the whole build-up of the characters and decided to do it all over again....granted I have only played 2 matches so far, the daily ones. My K/D is over 2.5, I'm playing with blue weapons and a partial skill tree and yet I am over double my main profile, not sure if its due to SBMM or if I'm just more cautious thinking I'm under leveled, but I'm loving the game again.

                    • Nice content there. For improving your channel, try to condense info in less time. It's a good video a little long winded though. With attention spans being so short, you'll want to keep that in mind. Best of luck to you

                      • Curious, what was your output prior to change? And what style were you. It seems now your racing around in a frantic pace. Were you more methodical and played with your primary, but got tired of trading off kills with high rate of fire autos and grenades? In basketball terms, you went from a half court offense and defense to a full court press/ fast break offense. I see a lot of people play that style nowadays.

                                • Your kds are as follows: Warlock - 2.5 Titan - 2.4 Hunter - 2.6 So why don't you use your hunter? Just wondering, cuz it seems like your overall message in the bus was "giving feedback to Bungie is nice but you gotta figure something out for yourself in the meantime. Don't be scared to try new things. Figure out what you're best at." I guess I'm just wondering how you feel about the Hunter class and how you feel about it in comparison to the Warlock, as far as effectiveness in the Crucible.

                                  • Your problem is that you have skill. I have solved this problem by being bad. Be more like me if you don't like sbmm.
