Issue #1 P2P connections with zero form of SBMM and a pathetic excuse of CBMM makes for a horrible experience all around. Issue #2 Bungie has absolutelt no idea what the word "balance" even means, pretty sure they cant even spell it. If youre not using 100% meta youre not going to compete, at least in comp. You can get away with it easily in QP, but comp is meta only. They may as well have set loadouts and only allow that to be used. Issue #3 The person(s) that designed competitive have left bungie and the dev team has no idea how to run it without them. Comp should have been scrapped and removed long ago. Issue #4 Toxic community caused by the above issues. If you solo, good luck. If you LFG good luck because 90% of the LFG posts want the top 10% of players only, even though they themselves are barely holding a positive KD. Comp in the destiny franchise always has and always will be a massive toxic sewage pit for the lowest of the low. I got hate msgs for using guns no where close to meta when doing my recluse attempt and i soloed. Didnt have any of the meta weapons, didnt have any good armor hell i didnt even use exotic armor. I had no perks for the weapons i was using. So far off meta it was hilarious and still got hate mail. Best advise? Go for whatever youre going for, ignore the crybabies, get the weapon you want then leave comp and never look back. And tbag the haters, thats important too.
