Skill-based matchmaking has me on the verge of suicide
I am so tired of going into a game and getting matched up with these kids who are constantly shoving a matador down my throat. I want year 1 back where primaries were dominant and there were games where I actually didn't have to sweat my ass off to even compete. Bungie, please go back to connection-based matchmaking.
Thoughts? Agree or disagree?
Edit: I understand that the weapons used don't have a relation to matchmaking. What I meant was that the people I get matched up with are trying so damn hard to win that the only thing they use is a shotgun. Weapon balancing definitely needs some work, but it is the way it is. The people I get placed with don't try anything new and always have to use a shotgun as their crutch. I would love to go into a game seeing diversity in people's loadouts, and incorporating CBMM would allow that because people wouldn't feel like they could only use top tier weapons to at least do decent.
(And -blam!- off lol. I know 1.0 KD is not great at all, but I've been playing since year 1 and I get paired up with people who know the ins and outs of winning crucible, like me. I also would have a way higher KD if I didn't spend half of year one -blam!-ing around and driving my KD into the ground lol.)

1 ReplyThoughts? Has nothing to do with SB vs CB Matchmaking. Has everything to do with the fact that Bungie has no experience with balancing this type of weapon system...and the Sandbox team is going about trying to do it in a way that isn't working....and never will. 1. Primary weapons are universally underpowered for the speed of the game. 2. All weapons that are "overused" get nerfed without stopping to ask if their "overuse" is appropriate because they are best suited to the type of combat the game's maps favor. So you get this system that lurches from meta to meta to meta.. TLDR: The dominance of shotguns right now is to be expected since the game's primaries are underpowered, and all the game's Year 1 AND Year 3 maps clearly favor CQC and shotgun use. Changing MM settings won't fix this. There needs to be an entirely new weapon balancing philosophy at Bungie.
