Iron Banner Matchmaking is bad.

IB matchmaking seems atrociously lopsided every game. If you win a game you will most certainly lose the next game. None of my games are close - win or lose. It’s always a blowout on a win or a loss. It makes the game frustrating to play.

  • I think I lost my first 2 (maybe 3?) games really bad, then from there it's been pretty evenly matched, except for one game where my team won by mercy rule. (I'm going on solo btw, if it makes a difference)

  • First day was actually not bad (minus joining late blowouts) but today I’m starting to run into parties solo. I just want the warlock helmet and it won’t drop so I’m currently thinking of GL’ing myself irl 😊

  • I've had mixed games, although the majority were close in terms of points. Once I get any form of chill clip dropping I'm out of there for good.

  • It's been fine for me. I've lost most of my games but they were generally close.

  • I’d gladly go through that if steady hand was in the loot pool. Every season I check Saladin’s selection and if I don’t see it, I stay out of iron banner. I already have decent rolls on the weapons he has. I got the iron lord title already too. Other than that there’s no reason to grind the event. I mean you can get better leveled gear but I don’t think it’s how it used to be. In D1 I could hop in iron banner with a very low light level. I got stomped badly but it was worth the power grind. And it used to be fast.

  • Hot take SBMM and CBMM still need work. We would be better off if they used pure RNG to match make. Guilded my IIB. Found matches tended to pair players against same for several matches until one lost bad. At least with players using same configurations.

  • Get into a stacked team of 6 and win every game or are there anti social tendencies at play?

    • Stomp or get stomped. This is the way.

      • I love having the lobby broken up to “find a better match” after every single game. Every. Single. Game.

      • Getting 5 carries and an L every game sure is a fun way for bungie to alienate their fans for sure. I’m certain I’m not even getting human teammates at this point.

      • Totally agreed. But it’s not just IB. It’s the entire PvP matchmaking that is so so dog water! It’s been like this for months and months now. They say they will fix it but there is not PvP department anymore. Destiny is so broken that there are more things wrong with this game than things functioning.

        • I remember reading the 20 paragraphs about the crucible matchmaking changes, but after these last 2 days of iron banner, I want to quit destiny

        • Iron banner is -blam!-, its more lucrative to loose as fast as you can and move won then drag it out. And the biggest -blam!- bullshit is the fact that it doesn't drop -blam!- iron banner armor/weapons. Every -blam!- drop i got had nothing to do with iron banner.

        • Bungie are a bunch of inept developers! I havent played PVP in months. My first match I am at the top of our team with a 1.0 kd. I'm 62 and drunk. The other team had 17.0, 9.0, 6.5, etc you get the point. Why even bother, stasis sidearm they can shove it where the sun doesn't shine. This isn't fun! I should have been at the bottom of our team having not played for such a long time. Mercy with a 75% disparity. Really Bungo? NO BALANCE AT ALL!

          • I like winning, as most do, but it isn't that fun when halfway through a match you hear, "I'm calling it". Hot take here, but - That's one reason why SBMM can be a good thing. Is it "more sweaty"? Yeah, but at least the matches are usually closer.

            • Yep. Bungie couldn’t balance a check book. These clowns are all terrible at their jobs.

            • It depends. Win 3 in a row at times sometimes lose 2. Play it or don’t. If I’m on a team that wants to lose I will still get my kills in

              Iron Banner match making is -blam!- dog -blam!-. Day off today and played 25 matches and won 7. I hope Bungie continues to lose money and PlayStation dismantles this sack of -blam!- -blam!- studio. This game used to be fun.
