Can we not have some kind of response regarding this current match making adjustment. This is what bothers me about Bungie. You make changes, you don't state how things have changed. It becomes a resounding we don't like it or some strong negative feedback let's say. And still, no response, no acknowledgment, etc.... And you wonder why your forums are filled with vitriol. Filled with frustration. Your dialogue is not a dialogue. It is a diatribe, news release format with little to no exchange.

Competitive is the only pinnacle activity we have for PvP. So, in nature this should be very challenging or impossible to reach the top unless you are skilled or put in a ton of time. Here’s my experience before and after this mysterious change... it was significantly easier to rank up in Comp than pervious seasons. I hit 5500 in less than 50 matches where the MMing change happened about halfway through. However, after the change I was the designated fireteam sweat that was carrying my other less skilled teammates. I had to change my style - basically follow my fireteam around and literally babysit them. Making sure they didn’t wander around like lost puppies and die and drain our revives. I was going to hit max rank this season regardless of whatever change was made to matchmaking. But after the change, I was quite clearly going up against 1 other skilled enemy and our teammates were noticeably less skilled. It wasn’t fun for anyone but most of the time I was the better babysitter. This is the kind of thing I expect in Quickplay. I can either babysit my team and play the objective to win - or I can roam around and stomp people and give no thought whether we win or lose. It’s not particularly challenging, rewarding or fun for me as a skilled player and therefore not worth my time. However, I won’t be playing Comp anymore until matchmaking is changed so that more of the lobby is closer to my skill. I don’t want to matchmake with any combination of teammates or enemies of such different skill; and neither do they. Also, It’s sad to see the level of unjustified entitlement that everyone has to EXPECT to have a free pass to the top of (the only) Crucible pinnacle activity so early in the season. Yes, the current MMing is frustrating - but I can tell you that’s the case for us sweats too. I don’t want to babysit and carry my freelanced team every single match. Bungie, be more clear about how “skill” is being calculated and how fireteam makeup is based on that “skill”. This makes it easier for everyone to know what to expect and for those that need to improve or adjust their skill or play style it’s not total guesswork.

[quote]The dev team has just deployed changes to matchmaking settings for Survival, Freelance: Survival, and Labs: Elimination playlists to address feedback we've been receiving about skill mismatches. We’ll continue to monitor feedback and matchmaking data to improve these systems.[/quote] The changes that was made. Made matchmaking worse. I went from 4720 down to 3640. Nothing but losses. My teammates have been hella bad.

Bungie whatever you did to matchmaking needs to be reversed. I’ve played a lot of comp since Shadowkeep dropped and it is very clear to me that whatever you just did to matchmaking has had a negative effect. My matches went from being very close to steamrolls one way or another

10 game losing streaks. I don't know, what do you think?

Cosmo why are you not on here daily responding to people? Your whole job was to replace deej as community manager. However you don't manage your community. You should be here daily responding to posts.

Why are all playlists SBMM except for one? Are you trying to drive your main crucible base away? I thought this the season of crucible but we still have OEM, Recluse, MT, Erentil mapping 40+ meters, Hand Cannons got a huge range nerf, SBMM is just awful, lobby balancing is awful for skilled players and Titans and Warlocks are the only ones with OHK abilities?
