This is a slippery slope that Bungie is climbing and essentially a lose-lose situation. Neither side (for or againt QP being SBMM) will be happy with whatever outcome Bungie decides to take. However, I think people are misunderstanding some key information here, and that is (in my opinion) Bungie has mislabeled there game modes. Quickplay SHOULD be primarily if not completely CBMM while "competitive" should be mostly SBMM. Although the word COMPETITIVE should not be used because it gives the wrong idea. Please stay with me as I explain. I believe that QP, as it is now, is how it should be, just wait and hear me out before you complain and disagree. QP should be a "stress-free" game mode (I say that loosely because we all want to win). I understand that the only payers that are going to truly enjoy this are the mid to upper skilled players as the will most likely win the majority of there matches. Competitive should be relabeled as something else, what I have no idea. But the competitive playlist should be primarily SBMM and the playlist [b]beginners[/b] should play in NOT QP. I believe the word Competitive gives the wrong impression. If you are a beginner and Comp is 90%ish SBMM than you are guaranteed to play other beginners. However, the word "Competitive" gives beginners the wrong idea and the way Bungie has set this up doesn't help. The game modes in Competitive should be the same as QP and vice versa. As beginners continue to play in the "Comp" playlist they get better over time and when they feel like jumping over to the more open QP playlist they can give it a go and see how they stack up against the rest of the population and vice versa if you are a mid to upper-level player and tired of being stagnant in your skill, play some "Comp" and hopefully get better. The only true option I believe that Bungie can win coming out of this situation is by giving US the players the ability to CHOOSE our Match Making algorithm. If we had a toggle switch for each playlist giving us the option to choose SBMM or CBMM for each playlist then all will be right in the world... maybe.

Sure but they should get dedicated servers

I agree 100%
-
Yeah it wouldn't fix lag 100% but they'd have a much easier time filtering out cheaters.

QP... A stressfree playlist? Since the Update it is the playlist which stresses me at most.

Edited by Duranimal: 7/31/2018 10:04:00 PMInteresting, how so? I am barely a good player just 1.1K/D last time I checked, and I am having a blast when I play QP... since it was "fixed" I mean broken =D.

I don't like the lag guys. The varity is good.
-
yeah, it's pretty laggy for sure.
-
I completely agree with you. Competitive should have the exact same modes as QP. Just add SBMM in addition to CBMM.
-
The only problem is that SBMM doesn't work in peer-to-peer. If i get matched against same skilled players, then why the one match i have 15 k/d and the other match 0.1 k/d?

Yeah, I can agree to this. Some matches are split down the middle and some swing heavily to the left or right, very little consistency. I guess it is meant to be that way so we aren't so stressed all the time trying to pull out the clutch win.
