Truth be told I'm not against SBMM system but ...
[quote][i]Do you try to force players into a 50% win/loss ratio?
Nope. As we’ve stated, your personal performance is a factor in the Guardians you end up confronting in battle, but we do nothing to artificially influence win streaks or alter individual player statistics[/i][/quote]

Ummmm 😒
Yea, I'm a bit skeptical
RNGesus blesses you with a competent team that doesn't try to cap three points...

RnGesus curses you with suicidal shotgun warriors that took an oath to not touch a primary...
[b]BREAK IT UP[/b]
I seriously can't think of any reason that mechanic exists [b]OTHER than to try to artificially manipulate your win/loss[/b]
It doesn't speed up matchmaking
It's not finding a better connection
It is ONLY trying to make the matches closer
And even then it screws that up
I've had it kick me from a team, put me in a match that's in the process of getting mercy ruled, lose, break that team up, place me in another match that's almost over, lose, break that up...
How is that helpful to anyone?
I'm calling BS on Bungie's newest explanation.
Breaking up teams is definitely placing SBMM over all other factors.
Like I said, I'm not against SBMM in general.
Just don't fart in the room and blame it on the dog. I can feel the vibration through the couch for Christ sake.

I love, oh a fire team of 6 just mercy ruled you. No worries. We're breaking that match up..... To give you the exact same lobby again for the next bleeping 4-5 matches. I even backed out waited 5 minutes and was put back into the same game but this time it was already in progress :(
