How about you fix matchmaking bungie?! I've gone nine and zero every week so far but I agree it's bullshit to have such high skilled players against the lower ones.

I'm glad at least some good players are honorable people who get no enjoyment or satisfaction out of just slaughtering inferior competition.

Their policy on matchmaking is letting the community fix their problem. No need to fix, or even implement matchmaking when a bunch of suckers can do it for you for free.

If you can't compete in trials then practice. The whole trials thing is for testing yourself against other players. Not other players your skill level. They don't make multiple raids based on your skill level. That would be silly, let's make a hard mode corta raid that doesn't have as many adds for lower skilled people but has the same loot.

Edited by harrymfa: 6/5/2015 5:45:34 PMThere's no matchmaking on your side, Trials only comes on weekends, and top gear matters No, Trials is not practice. The promised vanilla Elimination mode was supposed to be that, but we're yet to see it. As far as competitive matchmaking being skill-based, it's run on the principle that if players are constantly other players' piñatas, they'll stop playing.

You're right, Trials isn't practice. So, people that need more practice are advised to either stay away or accept their defeat.

I don't know if you have played competitive multiplayers for long. I have, and let me tell you, less people playing is never a good thing. Try playing a game for a few years back, and only the immensely popular, like Call of Duty 4, you'll find enough people to play with. So what you say may work for now, but it's suicide long term.

Edited by The Woolldozer: 6/5/2015 6:20:39 PMUhh, yeah. Competitive MP is the only kind of game I play, and I've been playing them since I was a little kid. My experience goes back to Unreal Tournament and Quake. The way Trials' matchmaking is set up is to give you the best latency possible, regardless of skill. That's why it is so lag-free. Every other Crucible gametype is based on skill, and that's why they are often unplayable due to the lag. People will either quit because they suck or because of the lag. Pick your poison.

Edited by harrymfa: 6/5/2015 6:26:02 PMI'd agree with you if it was really lag free, but it's not. At least for me, I've been in games with bad lag, one match one of my teammates was lagged out in the middle of the match. At best, the lag in Trials is less comical than Iron Banner's. In games that rely in P2P coincidentally, the less players, the more lag.

If you go against people with equal or a little bit more skill than you wouldn't you be evenly match so wouldn't it work?

That's not what I said at all, but everyone is on equal footing when matchmaking in regardless of skill level or any other factors. The only factor is connection and skill
