I’ve played 5 matches today, every match has ended and they had to break up the teams to find a better match. Crucible is broken atm, it’s constantly 1 team just destroying another. Even when I’m on that winning team, I’m not enjoying it. This isn’t fun.

POV: You're bad at the game.

Bungie admitted about 6 months ago at the bottom of two different TWABs that matchmaking is 100% connection based and does not care about K.D., trueskill, amount on one team, flawlesses, anything. It cares about trying to line you up with people you'll encounter least amount of lag with. When one team is all flawless guys and the other is negative K.D. players, mercy is inevitable. There is no balance. Just the faint memory of SBMM. That's why I play survival. Puts me against close in skill players.

This season it's 10x worse than in the previous season, and the previous season was already utterly disgusting. I hate Bungie.

[quote]Pvp is absolute dog shite, always has been, but it feels worse this season[/quote] Yeah won’t come back to this game until I see In a Twab we are fixing our matchmaker

Good players adapt. Bad players complain on the forum.

Since the new season me and my 2 friends have played maybe 60 survival matches and got absolutely stomped 58 times. We literally get matched with high end players with 1600-1780 ELO players EVERY time - our elo would be minus 1200 by now of it would go that low! We played one match yesterday it actually said 'blah blah our team had 100% chance of loosing' in the stat tracker. At the end of last season we had about 1200 elo each that fluctuated as it does. But this is something else?! It's like Bungie actually trying to get us to delete the game. We are considering finding another developer. This sucks.

Games feel harder because of green ammo being nerfed and in air accuracy being killed. It's funny because casual players have no clue what they want because they don't understand the game. You guys swore that when shotguns got nerfed, good players would suddenly turn into bad players. You swore when green ammo gets nerfed, good players would suddenly turn into bad players. You guys begged and pleaded for stompee nerfs and movement nerfs. Do people not understand that good players will just adapt? Trying to nerf the "meta" and nerf what good players use does nothing but hurt the casual players that actually NEED that meta to compete. My KD has been progressively getting higher and higher every season. It's so easy to destroy teams now when they can't jump, can't spam special ammo, and pellet shotguns are useless, alongside other nerfs that hurt the casual player. These changes did nothing to stop players like me from dominating games, the ONLY thing it accomplished was making it harder for YOU guys to have fun. Actually, I'm wrong, it did accomplish something else. Making the game incredibly easier for me. At the rate these nerfs are coming we are heading back to primary only D2 Y1. Don't get me wrong, the majority of scrim and tournament players LOVED that time period in Destiny history, precisely because the skill gap WAS so high. It was BRUTAL for casual players. Casual players need to understand that nerfs, buffs, meta or no meta, a 3.0 KD player is a 3.0KD player and they will destroy you in any version of the game. Instead of asking for nerfs, buffs, or changes based on what the best players use, MAYBE it should be based on what will make the game fun and enjoyable for EVERYONE? Dunno just a thought...

Yeah something is definitely off. I don’t know if it’s “matchmaking”, though. It almost feels like the in-air accuracy changes and some of the weapon tweaks widened the skill gap. It’s certainly stomp or be stomped, however, and not much fun on either side of the fence.

Something definitely feels off. I'm getting "one shot" by weapons that should require 3 shots minimum to kill you. I have to assume it's some sort of issue with connection and latency or new season brought back all the hackers. I was playing Elimination mode last night and several times the whole team got instantly wiped by a single person that didn't even show up on our screen until after we were all ghosted.

SBMM is back for sure..
