Despite the fact that SOTD looks very cool, and tempts me to buy the pass, I am still deeply concerned about the state of the Crucible. By eliminating skill-based matchmaking, you have effectively created an environment where strong players can mercilessly stomp on the weak ones, where a certain population are allowed to have their fun (easy matches, long kill streaks, etc.) at the expense of others, who are humiliated again and again and again because you're forcing them into matches they don't belong in. I don't think you really took away Trials of the Whatever... you just made the entire Crucible operate under its rules. And since I am a player who is physically not able to "git gud" (the classic excuse of bullies, declaring that they have "the right" to pick on those weaker than themselves because they're weak), I don't appreciate that. And I'm worried that with PvP effectively unplayable, the content added by the season pass might not be enough.

Why should good players be forced to sweat every game? idiot. we play quickplay to chill, we play competitive to sweat
-
Why should inexperienced players be endlessly humiliated just so you can "chill"? What a pathetic attempt to excuse what is really just the desire to bully people who can't fight back.

I understand your frustration. That being said, there are some outstanding aspects of SOTD that you should look at. I realize that I’m responding to this a few days after it was posted so you might’ve already done what I’m suggesting but oh well. Make sure to pick up the invitation quest from Xur, it’s one of the most interesting things to ever be put into destiny. This quest line, in addition to the alliance quests, will progress each week. Also, the load out that worked best for me in the Thorn quest was Last Word, Ikelos HC, and Bad Omens. These guns combined with a void subclass let me finish the crucible step in 4 hours. You may run into a stacked lobby or two but it’s not nearly as bad as this forum would lead you to believe, unless you’re on PC then RIP.

My man!! That was my same loadout lol

Yeah i currently have the thorn quest and it requires you to get a shit ton of points in crucible with void or hand cannons. Its not hard, just insufferable.

Oh it's even worse trying to do it with anything but a void hand cannons, too. I got frustrated using them and switch to a pulse rifle and it slowed me down SO much.
-
I use Trust and Telesto heavily, so that should be doable. Just need to wait for an Iron Banner.
-
Well I only played quickplay, so i can't tell you how much competitive/Iron Banner is gonna help, but you're probably smart for doing that.
-
Quickplay is essentially Trials with 6 players, little or no SBMM. Competitive is supposed to be a bit better. In Crimson Days and Iron Banner, I was fighting people who were around my own skill level. My PvP-skilled clanmate called it super sweaty, which indicates he was fighting people at his level, too.
-
You know, I was wondering about Crimson Days. I was winning way more in that playing with randoms than i ever had (full party notwithstanding). You think it was more SBMM instead of CBMM?
-
I know it was. I may be a bad PvP player due to inherent limitations, but I've got 4 years of PvP experience. I know when I'm up against players above my skill level. Doesn't happen in Iron Banner, didn't happen in Crimson Days.

It’s boooring after an hour. As little as BA offered it was better than SOTD
