The Truth about SBMM in Destiny: How it affects the community

After researching stats / testing out PVP on a new account, simply turning SBMM off isn't the answer. Far more people will be hurt by the change than we think. I'm not saying every gaming being ultra competitive is right either.... but we need to look a the greater good instead of what is best for the top players.

  • To me, SBMM only causes inconsistency in players themselves. They begin to second guess themselves and question the decisions they chose in their own respective decision trees. While skill plays a major component in anything within any PvP environment, when you're playing a match and things happen that make you question yourself, that's where the decline towards improvement happens and it seems to be misinterpreted by this community as a whole. This decline is perceived as bad whereas if it were to be looked at from a different angle, as a learning curve, the player base would collectively grow and evolve into a higher skill tier. Something else, and I may get a bunch of crap for this, but some of us need to step down off of our high horses and stop hindering ourselves. Just because you think a method of winning a gunfight or engagement is cheap and refuse to use a certain weapon or tactic is your own hindrance, not ours. You create that invisible boundary within yourself, and that in my opinion, is your problem. Not Bungie, not Deej. Your's, not mine. A great deal of this strife of SBMM and CBMM could be solved by having a ranked and a casual playlist, and we all want it, so maybe if we stop threatening to leave and stop throwing childish tantrums, Bungie may respond with a fix for these in the fall. We should all be working together if we want the same things, not against each other.
