  • Agreed. Bad matchmaking. To the entitled ruling streaming class- What other AAA game pvp regularly produces matches ending in double and triple score? I'll wait. How long must the laboring Destiny masses suffer under the yoke of social media influencers? [b]Destiny gamers of the world Unite! [/b] We have nothing to lose but our chains!

      Comment section full of people ignoring the main issue: matchmaking. Lobby balance is by far the biggest issue, period. SBMM needs to be implemented at this point.

      • Terrible lobby balance is what killed it for me. Makes no sense. I shouldn’t just get 5 bots vs 6 1.5kd players. Been playing for 7 years never felt so down about playing pvp.

          This game is the biggest joke I've ever seen of a "development". The amount of times I've loaded into a Trials match or a Survival game and faced a fresh account with 97% headshot accuracy with a sniper is uncanny. This game is a joke and the so-called developers who "fix" the game aren't doing the player base any favors. Every other day there's a new meta that EVERYONE uses because if you don't use it, you're dying in one shot to everything else. If Bungie really gave a -blam!- about fixing the game they would have done it long ago. Activision was in the same boat with Call of Duty and yet, you see they still haven't made any improvements to the game, just more promises of cheaters getting banned, or rules changing. Bungie's development is just the same as Activision. They aren't fixing the big issues that need to be addressed, and PvP has been in a declining state for a long time, that's only getting worse by the day. At this point, I don't even care if my account gets banned or whatever, I hardly want to play anymore because every time I get on the game it's the same washed up content over and over again. Cheaters running amuck in Crucible, and the same repeated activities every week to *hopefully* earn a reward worth keeping- but it'll take you 19 hours total to get it. Oh, and don't forget, you have to do it again for better rewards! Bungie, if you can read this, please adjust your game. The community is hurting because of your lack of movement as a developer. You have no way for players to reach you to suggest things, nor do you have a review page, so it's almost like you're running away from the problems you've created by not doing something. If someone were to come into this game as a new player and try a Crucible match, I'm confident they wouldn't touch it because of how bad it is. Facing a player that's #12 in the world for kills with a 7.6 K/D as a player that barely reaches a 1.0 K/D on a good day? That's a joke. If match making really preferred similar skill, I would be facing people that have 1.0 K/D's or less. Not the BEST IN THE WORLD. So if you really care and want the game to be more playable and respectable, DO SOMETHING. I've stopped playing this game before because it was so bad at launch, and I came back at the launch of Beyond Light. I had some fun in the PvE storylines, but otherwise it's been a mess that has had no improvements whatsoever. I welcome challenges, but not impossible ones. Don't tell me to "Play nice" either. You're so afraid of bad reviews that you don't even have a page for it. Activision does the same. Do us a favor- don't be like Activision. This game could be SO much more than that if you guys just TRIED to fix it. Just a little bit. Sincerely, An upset player and former developer.

          • Having an effect to varying degrees on the overall PvP experience:- Bad matchmaking. Objective conflict (Make it about guns, make it about space magic, add powerful mods to the mix) chaos. Outdated infrastructure with peer to peer. Overambitious crossplay implementation given infrastructure in use. Debatable anti-cheat effectiveness. Proliferation of paid services advertised on their own platform. Lack of thought with events such as IB (Having rift in the QP rotation before making it IB would have been something). More distant issues like quest progression requirements that although do not "Force" people into the PvP pit of heresy ;) The FOMO factor cannot be ignored as it has, to greater and lesser degrees over the years, had an impact. There are certainly other factors but they are all combining to place PvP in the mess it is just now but surely it can only get better for all levels of player? Fingers crossed from a PvP dabbler.

          • I just don't think you can balance this game and keep all abilities/perks active. You would have to have separate weapon pools for pvp only, which kind of goes against what the game is about. I agree PvP is a dumpster fire, but maybe it's just time we accept it for a non serious game mode and move on? If we stop nerfing/buffing stuff for the sake of PvP the rest of the game would be freaking awesome right now.

          • I've been playing Destiny for less than 2 months, I'm not good at PvP and I don't enjoy it. Yet despite this I am forced to PvP to complete different catalysts. It makes no sense especially when I'm getting throw into matches where guys are running around smoking everyone and I'm just trying to get kills with the exotic I'm using and hurting my team in the process. It's actually embarrassing to me that I'm sitting there with so few kills because I have only one objective and it's not to win the match. Stop forcing PvE focused players to do PvP to upgrade their PvE weapons.

            Yea lobby balancing is a huge issue right now. It’s not fun for every skill level at all. But the thing that makes it worse is the toxicity in the pvp player base. I mainly am a pvp player I enjoy the game but this toxicity is getting so outta hand played two days ago and got a total of FIVE messages saying mw2 type of stuff lol. It makes me laugh but I know it can get annoying for other players who just wanna enjoy the game like I do or who are not as good and getting messages like I do. Sorry not sorry and this is gonna hurt some pvp players feelings, but destiny will NEVER be competitive EVER. The game has far too many outliers for it to be an esports game. It can be competitive fun but that’s all it is so stop attacking players who are lower skilled than you for what they’re running if it’s not a broken gun the devs haven’t worked on. If you want a competitive game go play something else there’s open competitive spaces in other games. Nothing wrong with just enjoying destiny like the rest of us and not having a douce esports attitude I guarantee you will be happier knowing that lol. Had to just get this off my chest because there’s too many people in the pvp community that take this game too serious and need to chill.

              • I know one thing - sbmm or no pvp for me except IB. I really don't understand casual players that let themselves be farmed by veteran players match after match. Are you really having fun being stomped constantly?

                • Control is ridiculous at the moment ! Control needs to be free Lance at least . Destiny that’s suppose to be for everyone . There is survival , IB and trials for the hardcore . Pretty sad that certain repeat offenders are in control for hours a day , daily and farming people with easy mode weapons . Control needs to be for everyone , at least then people can get bounties, event stuff and quests/ catalysts completed . Also these toxic pvp clans going into control as stacks ….losers !

                  Tryhards: Don't any of you want a challenge to improve your skills? Tryhards in sbmm forced to play others at their cheese "skill" level: SBMM IS THE WORST THING EVER, I'M HAVING TO FACE A CHALLENGE! I SHOULD NEVER FEEL CHALLENGED! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY!

                        • At the speed they digest feedback, I think we'll get some sort of upgrade for PVP by 2038. Maybe.

                          • In terms of weapon viability I think we’re in a pretty good spot. The problems are definitely matchmaking and connections.

                          • I'm pretty much done with Destiny 2 at this point. PvP, as bad as it is, I've started using Titan because being a warlock in PvP now is just asking to be walked on. PvP was all that kept me interested. Ran the last raid I needed to for my last crafted weapon. (Already had the exotic) and Then I was met with a 2 week matchmaking restriction yesterday when my ping is always 90 or lower and I never quit out of matches. Bungie is killing their own game and I simply don't think I'm gonna stick around for the dumpster fire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                            Indeed. Cbmm lol, cross play lol, cheating, nothing to chase, zero matchmaking algorithm, prioritizing teams vs solos, p2p lag, cheese ability spam, 1 new map and zero new modes in what…5 years? Needs to be torn down and rebuilt. I’ve got to say, at this point I can’t really blame bungie for not pumping money into a house with rotten structure, crumbling foundations, and toxic occupants. It’s just been left to long. I think they realized it’s better to Just let her go.

                            • It's sad considering Destiny has the best gun play of any game. But Bungie just doesn't care about PvP, thats the sad truth. Trash maps, trash game modes, trash servers, trash spawns, trash matchmaking. Literally every single thing other than the gunplay, is absolute garbage.

                              • I've been forced into that gigantic trash that is pvp because of the solstice event, and never have I hated bungie so much for the outrageous dumpster fire it is. Cheaters, try hards, unbalanced gameplay, unbalanced matchmaking, toxic community, you name it. It's all there, in that pvp. I couldn't play more than 2 games before wanting to uninstall the game. No wonder they're forcing pvp objectives everywhere, because if they had to count on the pvp quality to attract people, it would be dead by now. I wouldn't even touch it if I could have the whole solstice armor in pve, or at least gambit.

                                  A whole host of issues ranging from poor matchmaking and lobby balancing to lag and hit detection between different console families to over powered weapons and builds, even the game returning you to the Home Screen without any warning. So many issues are happening right now in PvP to the point that we just accept this nonsense or we quit playing PvP. I haven’t the answers, I enjoy the PvP in this game but I feel Bungie should give a response to at least some of these issues we as a community are facing.
