I don't mind playing Banner for a week and stuff for the easy 4 pinnacles but I really hate the catalyst quests like Ticuu's bow where you are required to kill a bunch of guardians with it. Just lame for something you'll never use in PvP besides that quest. Bungie just sucks at quest and bounty design for the most part.

Well, your biggest problem is people that feel they should get easy wins because theyre "top 1%" and cried to get SBMM removed because "every match was sweaty and they had to try hard" which is the point of any PvP game. But it made content harder to create therefore hurting the content creators wallets which in turn hurt bungies because the game wasnt getting promoted. Basically PvP has always catered to the elites because money. After that you have a horrible P2P connection on top of terrible hybrid servers that has the client host virtually everything unlike other game where the sever hosts most of the game and the client typically does things like particle effects and debris. Then to add to that you have no region locking. In causal PvP i can understand but all competitive modes should have region locking. And even then theres no reason in causals that im matching people literally on the other side of the world from me that do nothing but lag. I dont care about peoples clans/friends, stability should come first, and matching me with players that lag and wont take damage isnt stable. Then theres balancing. Bungie hasnt been able to balance crucible since D1. Theres ALWAYS been broken metas (like shotguns) and OP weapon/armor (OEM nightmares anyone?). On top of that bungie also doesnt 100% seperate the PvE and PvP sandboxes so when they balance one it effects the other. Also bungie doesnt know the deffinition of balance so when they do "balance" it either breaks the game completely or takes such a massive nerf it would have just been better to remove/disable whatever it was until it can be fixed because whatever it was is no longer usable anywhere. So combine all of this, throw in some salt, and tada; you have crucible.

Because they removed SBMM and replaced it with CBMM back in season of the worthy.

I'm of the opinion that the removal of SBMM really messed up the matchmaking algorithm.

They just need to implement a soft skill-based matchmaking system that keeps the top tier players away from people that struggle. There is no reason that a 0.5 KD player should be in the same game as someone with 3.0KD. It doesn't have to be as strict as it was when they last implemented it but just narrow the ranges a little.

They sucked the life out of any average or below average players in this game and most of us left. When the system caters to the top 10% only, eventually the 90% will find a game that’s actually fun.

There is no changes Bungie can make that will suddenly make you better at the game. Either practice more or just leave it alone.

Your point (specifically the one about being confused and/or frustrated about being matched against players who are way out of your league) is one I've been making repeatedly here in the forum for some time. I wish you better luck than I seem to have had in getting Bungie's attention. For me, I don't really care if I end up winning that much; I'm just tired of being a passenger in stomp-fest after stomp-fest (either watching my teammates stomp the opponents, or getting stomped), since that isn't fun. But I don't know if many others share this sentiment.

i don’t like having low ranked players in my lobbies, it just makes solo queuing annoying bc i can never trust anyone on my team to win a 1v1 fight.

Because you have a generation of shooter gamers who think their reward for [i]getting good [/i] is being allowed to kick the crap out of weaker players. They either don’t realize (or don’t care) that this destroys the game.

Why do people that barely play pvp come and make posts crying about pvp? I’ll never understand that…..
