Iron banner matchmaking needs a complete revamp

One match its a landslide loss. The next its a pity victory because bungie feel bad about how hard you got destroyed last match. There's no room for improvement because there's no consistency in the skill difference between the "worst" and "best" players in the lobby. Most of the time the skill is irrelevant its simply due to how well the teams play together. If there's fireteams then generally they perform well, but a group of randoms could go either way. Generally for the worst, so skill by comparison is largely irrelevant and shouldn't be the main factor in 6v6 matchmaking

      Matchmaking wasn't too bad earlier today for me. But within the last hour or 2, ive had like 3 or 4 matches with suspicious players, I just record and report... But I hate when I get placed against multiple fireteams as a solo queue, so that could be reworked...

      • Matchmaking in general needs a revamp. I can go use the bathroom, grab a beer out the fridge and read a game of thrones novel in the time it takes to match any number of players. In fact, I spend more time waiting to play the game than actually playing. Ten minute wait to play a match that ends in a landslide and is over in five minutes. Rinse repeat. You can definitely tell that the PvP population is getting smaller and smaller due to the lack of time, resources and tlc the mode richly deserves.

        Sbmm needs to get completely removed and fbmm needs to be adjusted so duos/trios are rarely put in games with solos similar to 4+ stacks (2 trios vs 2 trios and 3 duos vs 3 duos). Also, I think duo queueing in trials/comp shouldn’t be allowed.

        • I agree. I didn't have a bad experience with the fireteam based MM in trials. But it has been horrible in IB.

          • Not from the current PvP/sandbox team. These groups have proven they don’t know how to do it and more times than not they make it worse. What the hell is leadership doing over there at Bungie?

            • I feel your pain. Although, I can tell that some changes for the better have implemented (sad that there is no more freelance mode - happier that I haven't run into any more 4/5/6 stacks as a solo player, and I have had bit more luck finding evenly matched games recently) inevitably most of the games are still one-sided affairs. I used to the think the population was a good part of the issue but I play at all times of the day and that doesn't necessarily seem to affect anything. It also didn't get much better during IB where the population is, supposedly, much larger.

            • I just play the required matches to get the reward each day and then I'm done. As a solo player I'm tired of constantly running into premades running Immortal/Ikelos and running in team shoting packs the entire match. Need to do my 5 matches to finish the 12 today and the first 3 matches were over before we even zoned in. Looked up about 30 seconds into the match and we're down some crazy number like 30-2, lol. It's just a joke. You can't get a clean gunfight, every match is ability spam or broken weapons or some other BS. PVP in this game has been garbage for a long time and I don't think they can fix it.

            • Game still stacks 2 premade teams of 3 on 1 team. That is a forced loss.

                I was actually looking for the “Solo” option for Iron Banner but they removed it I guess. Even if the other team just has a duo of clan mates….they probably gonna win. As a Solo player I never want to be in a match against teams. Ever.

                • No more revamps, no more ressources for some laggy sweaty mess that takes 10 minutes to find a game, throw it in the garbage, PvP died with D1. I hope Bungie has no intention of working on "PvP", no one cares about it, it should be removed from the game so that PvE doesn't have to deal with the consequences of the few laggy sweats who complain about xx weapon.

                • Its almost like they are throwing together matches as there really isn't enough players for a balanced match up.

                • My last two people I pvp with just quit the game because of iron banner. Never been below 1000 elo in the history of destiny. And whatever set up this was, is even worse then the sbmm in control. Absolutely miserable, and I can't even defend it, they are right to quit.

                • The win loss ratio is more in play than sbmm.. you win a couple of games then bungie will put you in a few games you have no chance of winning. This is especially more prevalent for solo players

                  Revert matchmaking back to Year 2. It was by far the most palatable.

                  • I had a 14% win percentage. I'm just leaving any match that doesn't start out well. I'm -blam!- tired of busting my balls just to try to win s -blam!- match. This use to be my favorite pvp but I can't stand it anymore.

                      • For the past year I’ve seen significantly more mercies than ever before. They say they have sbmm but they don’t lobby balance very well so one team usually get stacked while the other turns into a punching bag
