IB without SBMM: Mercy after mercy
Please Bungie, check the stats on the amount of mercies that are happening right now in IB. Just a hunch, but I think it might be an indication of how the removal of SBMM is impacting the average PVP player. I just finished playing 15 matches. 6 or 7 of them were ended by the mercy rule.
Bungie, I have a question:
Where do the average skill PVP players fit in this new landscape without SBMM? Where do we go to PVP other players at our skill level? Right now, the answer is we don't fit and there is no experience for us in PVP other than being fodder for folks waaaaay above our skill level. Trials, Survival, Elimination - competitive playlists all utterly dominated by high skill players. The only place we could [i]compete[/i] was in the non-competitive playlists with SBMM. And over everyone else, high skill players can attest to the fact that the one thing that matters most in PVP is that the player feels like they can compete.
I think most of us "casuals" understand and accept that Trials isn't for us, and that we can't compete in the upper tier of Survival and Elimination (still have SBMM enabled) - we're average skill players. Of course we don't get to compete with the highly skilled players - they the best, we the rest. So why is it hard for seemingly you, Bungie, and the some of the sweats to understand that casuals deserve to be able to compete in PVP?
Please revert the decision to remove SBMM from non-competitive playlists.

6 RepliesI wish bungie would implement ranks like they did in halo 2 and 3 You win you go up , you lose you go down , once you level out you will stay in a range of ranks , then they can match you based on a range of ranks for more competitive/balanced games. To be honest this this is what their sbmm was doing, with a tons of people playing it’s easy to get matches faster and match with people closer to Your skill, on the flip side both sbmm and ranks with a reduced population would make for longer wait times and more possibilities of playing people outside your skill / rank range so they can match you . I would prefer sbmm or a rank system , I prefer closer games, 2 nights ago we had a 5 stack and mercied 6 out of 7 teams we played, then I played some solo games and I was getting gang -blam!- like I had never played the game. It’s not an enjoyable experience atm Except for the sweats/streamers who can now pub stomping for their streams
