Iron Banner was my favorite activity in Destiny 1. I haven't been a big fan of IB in D2. The issues for me are: 1. Scoring: In D1, a strong player could slay enough to save a helpless team, but now, if you go in solo, it can be quite difficult. The scoring bonus given for controlling multiple zones tilts the games dramatically. It can make games extremely one-sided. 2. No progression: It was exciting to grind D1 Iron Banner to increase your rank to chase after a coveted weapon or piece of armor that were being sold by the vendor. Iron Banner weapons often had great stats and were quite unique. But now, all the rewards are RNG or are merely cosmetic and there are no ranks so you don't feel like you are advancing. Why play when it doesn't feel like you are progressing towards anything? 3. I just miss 6 v 6.
