It's not just you, buddy. I played Crucible tons in D1 and through Curse of Osiris. It was a blast and totally addicting. WIn or lose - most every game felt fun and "fair", and I could mess around with guns and loadouts and leave every game with a smile on my face. After returning about a month ago, to me it feels like Crucible is night-and-day different from D1 and early D2. I struggle to get a 0.5 K/D in most games, whereas before I was slightly above 1.0 K/D (which is fine for me), and have many games where I can barely even get a kill. The skill level of the people I play against just is WAY higher than before. Granted, I am probably a little older and slower than I was, but I think the main thing is that [u]the people who are playing crucible are just better than they were (and better than me)[/u]. Bad players like me really get crushed without SBMM. I am not here to "get gud" or try to make a career out of gaming. I get off work, I find a shiny new gun, and I want to hop into crucible and play a few games and try to kill people with it. I just want tot have fun. That is not possible anymore. [u]Something is wrong when the Competitive gaming modes (Glory/Elimination), which is where "sweat" belongs, are actually more relaxing that Quick Play[/u]. That's not right, and Bungie is turning off a large (most?) segment of their customer base from casual PVP. Am I generalizing? Yes - but I think I am not far off. Until SBMM returns, average and below-average players will just get beat up in Crucible. I recommend sticking with Elimination - at least you have a fair chance.
