They need to switch it to a level lock out system ie Hearthstone, that concept works well. You can still lose points on a loss but never go lower than your last level achieved. For example, you hit level 3, get half way to 4, then have a bad loss streak. However, once you drop back to level 3, even if you keep losing you cant go lower than 3. So theres still that struggle of an upward climb, but checkpoints along the way, so if you have a particularly bad day (shite matchups, bad connections, etc) you arent drop kicked back to 0 in a matter of a few hours Would also make for better match making more oftem with more distinct tiers, and it would still maintain increasing difficulty as youll get matched with better players in higher tiers

Players need to accept that: A. They are not going to get everything B. Just because its a game doesn't mean stuff should be handed to you. Thats not how the world works C. There will always be something everywhere in life that requires effort and that is good D. The game isn't going to always change to meet their desires E. This is one of the best places Destiny has been in (still not as good of a place as Taken King and Age of Triumph though)

Luna's howl is meant for good players, if you cant win, you don't get it. Its not rocket science.

The backwards progress is perfectly fine, because otherwise, there is no need for there to even be a Glory rank; it's just Valor in a different play list at that point. More to the point, I think the point totals need to be adjusted to be more realistic. My personal opinion is that everyone that is average or better in Crucible should be able to achieve the first tier reward of Luna's Howl (or whatever may come next). Not Forgotten is drastically better in some respects, and if you want that weapon, I believe you need to sweat your nuts off (for those not familiar, Not Forgotten sacrifices some stability and handling for a very healthy boost to range, which makes this gun much more versatile). I personally think the amount of points you lose should be tiered by rank. The higher you go, the more points you lose per match, to the point where rank 4 players are at a near-zero-sum position (there are x points in a match, and winner takes all of them). I would also like to see a system of loss insulation come into play; everyone gets one hour per day (per account) of 100% insulated losses, in the form of a Warm-Up buff; during this time, losses have no consequence on ranking. Additionally, each day, matches can have a secondary objective (most kills, most Obj point, longest life, best efficiency, etc). The person at the top of that list on the losing team is 100% insulated for that match. Second is 75% insulated, and third is 50% insulated; all other lose full points as normal. If you are insulated in a match, you -cannot- be insulated in the next match, so either win it, or lose points; this allows individual skill and contribution to help you, even on a loss. I would also like to see boosters drop for points. Small, medium, and large varieties, all drop-only; streak wins have a 10% higher chance to get one. The booster must be used in the first 5 minutes of a match. If you win the match, you get 50%, 100%, and 150% more points than normal, respectively, including streak bonuses. These items have reduced functionality after rank 3 and none after rank 4. They can be exchanged for set amounts of Crucible token, so even ranking out of them still gives them some use.

You sound like such a casual in this post. I spent over 3 weeks grinding for this gun. I had my angery moments *I misspelled it on purpose, spelling dweebs*, had some happy moments, even had moments where I lost hundreds of points straight. I got the gun now and I am in love with it. Moral of the story is that you need to get a good team, earn points, and get good. Removing point reduction would make the way too easy and everyone would have Luna's and Not Forgotten.

Average joes wont get lunas so accept it

This community is so full of snowflakes it's unreal. It's a COMPETITIVE game mode that goes off a players skill rather than how much free time they have.

Don’t do it Bungie don’t listen to them. Casuals continue to ruin this game.

I agree so much. Was in Competitive yesterday, Game Mode was Survival, and I had one team mate who jumped off the edge of the map repeatedly wasting our respawns. I reported him for sabotage but I'm not holding my breath.

I think its fine the way it is however having the Luna as a quest is lame, it should just be get to 2100 like it was last season.

If they removed negatives Comp would become Quickplay and everyone would get Luna's Howl. Hell no.

There should be competitive bounties like Iron Banner. It won’t make things drastically better, but it will alleviate SOME of the time — if you have the individual skill to pull off the requirements of the bounties you’d get rewarded for that personal skill. So even if your team as a whole ends up being quitters as soon as 1 round ends, you still made some progress for the headache.
