I posted the other day on my experience this last week in Iron Banner and the huge impact that skill factoring in the playlist had on my enjoyment of the Crucible. Today I’m going to directly address the arguments against sbmm.
I actually spent about 4 hours writing a response to Triplewreck’s reddit post on the topic 4 months ago and unfortunately bungie.net froze when I tried posting it and I lost the entire thing. I ended up still writing about sbmm at the time, but never directly addressed his post. Today I am.
I made the video about a week and a half ago on what is going to be this post. I was going to wait until after the holidays to publish it, but decided to do another post instead. I was still debating posting or not, but then in my Iron Banner thread someone linked me a video from Lono (SayNoToRage) giving his thoughts on sbmm and I like Lono, but his statements about sbmm were simply not correct and he referenced TW’s reddit post quite often.
I’m going to be posting TW’s comments in sections and breaking down each as I go along. Going to post it all in the comment section with links to the parts. I'm tired of this misinformation being spread throughout the community and I'm tired of having my Destiny experience dictated by 10% of the player base. I respect the developers at Bungie immensely and I am forever grateful for the opportunities they have allowed me to experience both within the game and in real life, but everyday I feel less and less like this is the game I've known and loved for the last 4 years. I hope things change and I hope it can be a game for everyone again. Thank you.

Will you quit circle jerking the sbmm wave? Sure triplewreck is a skilled player and your argument is that he shouldn’t say anything disregarding sbmm because he just wants to keep winning. Absolutely I hate getting pub stomped by 6 stacks but what you failed to mention in your iron banner post was that latency in banner was a lot worse than normal quickplay. This also happens in comp along with the abnormally longer wait time. Even if bungie’s servers overall are flawed, they’re still better than whatever sbmm connection has to offer. I don’t want to have bad lag every time I try to enter any game of crucible with players across the world from me
