Changes to Matchmaking Settings on 12/08/2016
Today the development team is making a few changes to Matchmaking settings with the goal of improving your experiences in the Crucible. Here is a quote straight from the team with some details about what is being changed.
[quote]
We’ve made a change to the Matchmaking system in an effort to increase match quality. Our specific goal is to reduce the number of matches that begin before they fill up with players. To achieve this, we are expanding the available skill-range for other players earlier and more aggressively. We will also be looking for lower-latency matches for longer than before. Essentially, this puts a stronger bias on connection quality, with less emphasis on skill matching. This may result in slightly longer matchmaking times in some cases. For some of you, this could mean that you’ll be matched with opponents well outside of your skill range. We hope the tradeoff is worth it to improve the Crucible ecosystem in general.
As always, our work in designing a Crucible experience that serves all players is never finished. Be sure to let us know what you experience out there. Our forum, just like our game, is a constant source of great feedback.

These changes are now live in all playlists*. After you play some games with the new settings, feel free to post in this thread with any feedback you have. Let us know what you think.

It's no different at all. I want to practice on a warlock but I get chucked in games that I'm supposed to play on my hunter, I can't play well on warlock yet... how is that any fun? Stuck in orbit for a looong time now, hate it
-
Can we have someone fix the speed-glitch for srl... tired of getting passed by players who miss the boost gates and can knock anyone clear off the tracks at will. Thank for listening, most of us know you care.

I don't understand why skill base match making is a thing.... this is literally the only game I lag in. It's fine ! but why does bungie hate me haha ! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TRDpOOTL8So

2 RepliesI think you should use the data from the players in game reporting. A bit like a monthly ban list. If they report someone as having a 'Bad Connection', then don't match make with that player for 1 month. In a month, maybe their connection has gotten better. Same with if they report as 'Highly Skilled'. Don't match make with that player for a month. Useful if that player wrecked with a 3.0 KD rate and was essentially the difference between the teams winning/losing. This is like the players determining who they do and don't like playing against. Then they have nobody to blame but themselves. If SBMM can't pick balanced players, let the players feedback help manage it.

Played some matches 'crucible' today.... Never had this much lag please bungie. Good that you listen to your community with the weapon Balance but this is just unplayable
-
Just a suggestion, but in the future make a change, then monitor the reports over the next week or so for "bad connection". If you would've done that, you'd see that you certainly haven't improved the connection. Back to the drawing board.

1 ReplyWhat changes nearly every game has multiple red bar Gods in crucible . Lag fest . Destiny 2 better sort this I don't believe the ability or know-how is with Destiny to sort this lagfest

Edited by GreedLaw____: 12/21/2016 4:09:41 PMI got shot through the menu screen, that's how bad my lag is ! "Connection based matchmaking" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S-8j6XHl-s0

5 RepliesThe changes have done nothing but ruin the crucible for casual players and players who are not very skilled like myself. I've worked hard to get better but, I'm constantly coming up and top players and players like the chap in the video. I messaged the guy in the video and he says he's not manipulating the connection. I have to take his word for that but some isn't right.

8 RepliesThis is cause for concern, in my opinion. A key aspect of keeping the Crucible enjoyable and functional is to keep as many players in as possible. A big part of this is ensuring that weaker players can still succeed in it. In a pure CBMM environment, the weakest players will always get humiliated. They will give up the Crucible in disgust, and the next tier of players will become the lowest. They will get humiliated and leave, and the third lowest tier will be the lowest then. In time, by mathematics, the poor players will be eliminated, followed by the below average ones, then the average ones, and so on. The ultimate consequence is obvious, isn't it?

Change all you want, if nobody plays it doesn't matter what you do.

You made it worse How is that even possible?

2 RepliesI'm happy I'm not the only one who is annoyed with this change
-
2 RepliesI'm getting wrecked by players that are all amazing
-
Still same bs. I don't see any changes. Even after your so called updated I still see red bar. (Stop with the your Internet connection is poor, I got very good to the best in a major vity) Joining games that's already at the end. 99% I join the losing team. I ain't no hard core player Just a casual... it went from this is fun to wtf.. so he doesn't die from a full clip up close with critical. To.. so I got killed with one shot from (insert weapon) from across the map.

9 RepliesYou have now officially made this game unplayable for pvp as if the lag wasnt bad enough already i have yet to even come close to a .5 kd even though i know im better than that ... I dont even have time to react before i die almost instantly and if im trading blows i will always lose before the update i could usually overcome it now its like everyone i play are fricking gods you guys have really broken this game
-
1 ReplyI am an early year one player whose average playtime is on the high side of what you can call casual. Ever since this change dropped, I have never before witnessed the amount of connection issues as I do now. I have not played one game of PVP without at least one poor connection since the update. In addition to the horrible connections, I am now faced with having to compete with sweaty tryhards all the time. My KD and stats have plunged since the update and I am often stomped so bad I just quit playing. If I play 3's in crucible it just feels like trials, which has become so full of tryhards that more casual players like myself have just given up and stopped playing, which only increased the level of difficulty for those left. I realize that large matchmaking overhauls will not happen in destiny 1 at this point. Please, for the sake of the biggest part of your player base, introduce ranked playlists and have multiple versions of trials with an increasing level of rewards. Destiny will never be an MLG game so if you want to have an active player base in PVP stop catering to the vocal minority. They aren't the ones with any money to spend on your micro transactions anyway.

Matchmaking made simple, let me win sometimes, let me lose sometimes haha. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S-8j6XHl-s0

5 RepliesHonestly, I'm person who isn't very good at crucible, since I don't have a ton of time to play, but I do like to enjoy it. But now sbmm is reduced, the connections aren't any better, and now I'm getting guys way better than me in my lobby. I was slowly getting better at the game, but now I got sweaty people who teabag me all day since I keep getting myself killed. It's really frustrating and I don't enjoy it anymore
-
Please look at the match making again. Since the update I've round it very hard to win a game. Every game I play I seem to be getting smashed. Yes I'm not a great player but before at least I could win a game. Every game I seem to be playing against people well outside my skill level. The crucible used to be fun if not a bit laggy. Now it's no fun at all and still laggy. I'm a better than my KD suggest as in year one I was terrible. I've worked hard to get better but, I feel this has just put me back to my year one standard. I do enjoy competitive matches but, if you're getting smashed every game it makes you think what's the point. Until something is done I might as well not play pvp

This game is lagging more than ever
