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. [/quote] 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. [i]*All playlists excluding Trials of Osiris, which matches teams based on card wins. [/i]

  • Guys I cannot be the only one going through this pain. I am a totally casual below average pvp'er. I picked up Destiny with my PS4 and loved it from the day I started playing. But, with these recent changes, you have totally lost me. I don't know if it's the matchmaking or just the population decline, but crucible is just not fun anymore. I went from an kd of around 1 to getting absolutely destroyed game after game. Even if I am on a winning team, I am one of the guys getting the beat down which is no fun win or lose. Something changed. It didn't use to be this way. I just want to run around and shoot at a bunch of other dads who got off work and just want to chill out for a few games. But now I spend most of my time dead getting blow away by guys in armor I don't even recognize. I will mess around until destiny 2 - I love the game that much. But seriously, if you read these posts, please consider the average joe getting stomped under your new pvp system. Something needs to be tweaked.
