I try to give this game mode chance after chance, but it honestly feels like Bungie’s Matchmaking is trying to push me away. At the start, I loved Gambit. It was exciting, tense & just fun. Taking on an enemy team 1v4 & wiping them all out. Managing motes & planning out how I’m going to slow the enemy team down. And just making gambles that could either help my team, or be their undoing. But nowadays I just feel like I’m making gambles that I’m certain to lose. First off, the last 4 games I’ve played I was in a team of solos against a 4 stack. I played 3 games last night (all matches against the same 4 stack) & 1 today, also against a 4 stack, so this isn’t an isolated incident, actually it feels almost intentional. I can’t buy the excuse that there aren’t enough people playing. There have been so many complaints, but the game consistently matches me with 4 stacks, so obviously something isn’t adding up. Why is it such a big deal that fireteams are being matched against solos? Funny you ask, since I’ve got my list here let’s go through it. - Fireteams can co ordinate when to bank & can bomb the other side with a plethora of blockers - When an invader is present, a fireteam can call out the position of the invader & gun them down easily - Fireteams can communicate who has super & heavy, so they can decide who they send to invade - Fireteams get the pleasure of going in with a strategy (Ikelos, BB), while solos just go in with whatever they have Also, I realise people are going to disagree with me, which is fine, but I would also like to add some “preemptive rebuttals”. - “If you try hard enough, you can outplay them”. Try hard enough? Why would you use that language if Fireteams didn’t have a clear advantage over solos? - “Use the mic” No. I just want to sit down & relax. Not every game mode has to be a raid. - “Use LFG & find your own Fireteam” One, refer to my previous argument. Second, if I have to use a [b]third party website/application[/b] to make my experience somewhat enjoyable, [b]then Bungies Matchmaking has FAILED.[/b] Hey, these problems will probably be fixed in Joker’s Wild! At least 4 months from now... in a DLC we’ll have to pay for. Bungie, if on the 1/100000000000 chance you are reading this, as a fan, it’s for this exact reason people are so cynical about you as a game developer & why many have just gave up on you. You create these alright foundations, then charge people for the whole building. D1, D2 & now Gambit. For your long term relationship with your fans & health of the game, you need to start pumping out changes that people ask for sooner & do it at zero cost. We pay for more content, not patches. I just had to get this off my chest, because I only want the best for Gambit & the game as a whole, but whenever I play Gambit I just keep asking myself why I’m doing it & that just feels shit. I dunno, cya guys.
