Hi, I love PVP, but I feel there is far too much emphasis on SBMM and weapon nerfs. Now there are plenty of things wrong with SBMM and weapons, and I will get into them. But first, 50% loss/win. I am a competitive person and want nothing but absolute pure competition. But, that is impossible for a game that does not have dedicated servers, putting random players together, as well as network issues because of it being online. That being said, I feel that half of the time I'm put on a team of players that seem to believe the best tactic in a shooter is to run at a team of 6 solo buck naked with a butter knife. SBMM is supposed to put like skilled players on the same team, however that is not always the case. This is because of the 50% loss/win logic in the coding of matchmaking. BUNGIE believes the game will be funner, if the player experiences losses by being put into team of suicide bombers. This logic is completely wrong. Begin forced to lose unless you play your absolute best is no fun at all. SBMM does put you with similar-skilled, but the brackets are bigger than you think. This allows for the games when everybody can compete, to why the hell was I matched with these people? Sometimes, I get an even match, but most times it is "These people are way too MLG for me", or "I AM A GOLDEN GOD OF WAR, WHICH ALL FEAR." Now to fix the problems: Games like League of Legends and DOTA 2 have a random playlist and SBMM playlist with rankings. Having a specific playlist for skilled play helps tremendously. To do this, each player should be awarded by points through winning games and lose points for losing games. This will put people in a clear definable bracket. Conjecture: Brackets now I believe, are separated by K/D, which is not a good indicator of skill. A player who does nothing at all for the team besides snipe in the back may have a high K/D, but they rarely are the factor that decides a match. Ultimately, it comes down to the people assaulting the objective, and more than likely ultimately dying in the process. This would also support more of a win the game mentality in players instead of "My precious K/D" Side Notes: mid to low rate of fire autos and pulses need a large buff. Get rid of Bloom Primaries need to be a bit stronger in general. If a player joins a game in progress give that player a super. Spawning players should have overshield that lasts for 1-2 seconds. High impact weapons should have higher flinch Dedicated servers for PVP would also be nice for Destiny 2. Source: There was an edge magazine interview recently where the developer talks about 50% win lose. I am linking a youtuber's video talking about this, giving his opinions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHqjTaweZ0s TL;DR: Make pvp playlists separated by ranked and unranked play. Ranked play should have scoring and SBMM, unranked just random. Edit: To all those saying, should we have an unranked list without SBMM all the pro players will flock to that I say, let them. The top 1% out of the massive player base is a drop in the bucket. That doesn't take away from the fact that there would be a ranked list. Every true competitive online game (League of Legends/Dota/Overwatch/Team Fortress/ETC.) has a ranked and unranked playlist. Edit: Changed "If a player joins a game in progress give that player a full heavy." to "a super." A super would be more of a fair advantage, as the enemy team more than likely already has supers, and if they have heavy you could shut at least one down.
