The PVP experience

The PVP experience in D2 is now so bad, that I will quit PVP all together. And as a PVP main, that is quite sad… I will maybe come back if Bungie decides to prioritise PVP, but the trust is not there anymore. Compèring to other PVP FPS shooters. D2 is a mess. MATCHMAKING, LOBBYBALANCING, LAG, HACKERS, LAGSWITCHERS, SBMM, e.t.c. As a legit player on an ordinary PS5 controller, this game is not for me anymore…

No I don’t and will not waste my time with D2. I love Splitgate 2 but it’s Quitgate2. I love Marvel Rivals but there was a support strike due to egos bigger than all multiverses. I love Overwatch2 but well in team games where there are roles you often times get that one guy super underperforming and all they say is well it’s my first game on today lol or you get that tank that’s just running it down lol. I love Warlander but it’s botlander. I loved Gundam Evolutions and Spellbreak but RIP…. Instead of talking bad about a game find the points you enjoy and or play others so you see the bad in them and not complain about the latter. The whole PvP gaming community is to blame not the game.

    • Majority of my friend group used to be mainly PvP players (they would play PvE to get PvP stuff), all but one have stopped playing crucible more than a few games a week. There are a lot of reasons why people choose to stop playing. Every single PvP game has people complaining about the exact same things that they complain about in this game, acting like D2 is an anomaly is wrong.

    • They could fix matchmaking by moving most modes over to a strict CBMM that does not give in after a set time and allow anyone in. Lobby balancing could easily be fixed, I think it is bad by design to support their 50-50 win ratio strategy. As for lag, their peer-to-peer approach is the underlying problem and would need a complete pvp rebuild to address, but strict CBMM should help there massively.

      • I think PVP is fun as-is, but some improvements could be made. 1) Ban cheaters - lots of cheaters are allowed to play for tons of hours with no ban. Don't know why, don't care. These players should be banned, including 3rd party hardware users. 2) Create new maps - new maps means new experiences in PVP. Affects every mode. Great use of time to create new maps 3) Create new loot to chase - does not have to be complicated here. Just keep creating "good" loot that PVP players are interested in 4) Reduce lag via matchmaking - This is my sole complaint with the matchmaking... I believe changing the matchmaking can help reduce lag.

        • Haha. Consider yourself a Diehard for keep playing it. Like myself. I compare it to gambling: always hoping that the next match will be that one normal match. Literally all of my friends quit, because of these problems.

        • people seem to hate posts that talk bad against cheaters. Idk why destiny players defend cheaters so hard? like, I posted a clip of someone flying around 1 shotting entire teams, and on multiple occassions I just recieve "skill issue" or "I checked his crucible.report, he's not cheating" as a reply, when the clip is VERY clear evidence.
