Iron banner matchmaking
I know matchmaking is bad but I’ve never quite seen it this bad. So I’ve played 14 games tonight and 11 have been mercys both ways and 2 more were only 2 people on one of the teams. This needs attention badly.

Edited by Gunship: 9/24/2019 5:29:21 PMYup. Its just a game of lets see who matchmaker set up to win this time. I hate it. What I hate even more is having to level up and then grind through the whole IB on my Hunter and Titan, that I NEVER play, just to have a shot at filling out all my Iron Banner achievements!!! To do thatI had to get every stupid "Bounty", on all my characters, all in one event. If not for the crappy way matchmaking works, I could easily have completed all of it. Now Bungie is making EVERY SEASON a one shot deal. Missed it? Too bad for you. Now you NEVER get to go back to finish up loose ends. I'm sick of chasing after stupid Bungie Carrots only to have them yanked away at the last minute. Bungie's problem that they find some way to tell us stuff we want to hear, but then they execute it in a way that makes it suck. All the new finishing moves? Bet you they are macro-transactions (nothing small about them). All we are is a cash crop.

Got mercied in game one, then mercied another team. I may witness a mercy once very 10-15 matches in quickplay, if not more.

I've just lost a game in orbit. Good job bungie. Your pvp is a f..king disaster

I played a game before blew my mind. It was searching n took a while, then started with 9 players, so I looked, a team of 4, team of 2, and 3 solos. It started 6v3 n put the team of 4 and 2 on the same team. Also had several games Vs 2 teams of 3. It's an absolute shitbucket

2 RepliesDon’t hold your breath. Going on 5 years. It’s going to remain shit. Thankfully I didn’t buy this game to play PvP.

Edited by Soul_Eater_42: 9/22/2019 8:09:54 PMEvery match I've played so far today has been one-sided bullshit with frequent Mercy Rules. It's f[i]u[/i]cking garbage. They should stop using Control as the gamemode for Iron Banner. It's terrible.

1 ReplyEdited by Gunship: 9/22/2019 2:36:10 PMControl is easy. Every thing you do must prioritize getting & keeping CONTROL of at least 2 control points. Rules of Control (Club) 1. Always be taking a zone 2. ALWAYS BE TAKING A ZONE 3. Avoid engagement away from zones (If your at zone disadvantage) 4. Don't trade kills at a disadvantage 5. Be way more aggressive trying to get/keep control of a 2nd zone vs a 3rd zone 6. In IB following a hunt, BE ON A ZONE (they are up for grabs following EVERY hunt) 7. Its good to guard a zone, but NOT with your whole team. Usually only one or two covering zone B (most contested zone in most maps) Pretty much every Control match lost comes down to not following the first rule. Edit: Yes there are a bunch of things wrong with pvp networking and how it picks players. HOWEVER, the teams losing in IB are simply not taking zones.

3 RepliesThat's the skill-based matchmaking everyone on here cries for...

2 RepliesEdited by Slappin1224: 9/22/2019 11:27:56 AMIt’s not that the other team was better, it’s the fact that if you’re not playing the objective in iron banner it’s very easy to lose by a landslide. They need to rework the scoring system because it’s the reason why lopsided games happen

3 RepliesIt’s because of lag. I’ve been mercied by teams that are absolute garbage. I’ve been up against players one game where I’m shredding them then the next game they’re literally unstoppable. I’ve realized that very few games are actually won because of skill. I find it absolutely frustrating when I’m on a good team of skilled players and one guy from the other team eats bullets while three of us are shooting at him and he’s able to kill two of us. Then after starts spamming messages about get gud and he’ll wreck anyone in 1v1 because you know he’s glitching out and disappearing all over the screen when shot. This dude had a 5.0 k/d in QP, gee I wonder why? Also being put into games where the other team is ahead by 60 points and there’s a minute left. I have like a .95 ish k/d and I can tear apart players with a 2.0 k/d then turn around and get shredded by someone who’s got a .30 k/d . Shits just a joke!

I dunno what you're talking about, this is fine. Lag? Whoo boy, check. Unbalanced matchmaking putting me against unbroken players every 2 games? Check. Spawning you right where you just died to the entire enemy team/super? Big ol' CHECK. It's all there, see? Just fine. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. It balances your suffering to your time wasted.

13 RepliesFor a game mode with SBMM...games are almost always a landslide. Wonder why? I say kill Saladin off and be done with the joke that is IB.

Edited by sirxsunbrust543: 9/21/2019 7:54:37 AMJust played 2 more mercys. One win one loss.

It's really bad this time around. I can deal with stacks from time to time but stacks that dont take damage and can two shot at will. Its seems as if the game is deliberately giving steroids to the other team. Its weird.
-
I played 2 matches and it was a complete disaster between the bad bullet registration and OHK and supers. That's it for IB for me until Shadowkeep.
-
This is intended, they have confirmed repeatedly that this is exactly how they want it.
-
Iron banner is the worse mode out there. I haven't played much, but it's roll or get rolled. Please for the love of god, use another mode other than control.
-
Don't worry that dame matchmaking will be in the new Control Playlist and everything else except for the Classic playlist.....
-
Not bad here. All games today have been solid.
-
Gee I wonder why But wait, SBMM can't make imbalanced teams, so they say. Even though it's never worked well in Destiny, history has shown us this
-
8 RepliesI noticed that it was having a hard time to get 12 people in a match. Are people even playing iron banner?
-
lol im skipping this last ib.. dont need the headaches.. using my time better to finish reckoner title.

2 RepliesEdited by GrayWolf: 9/21/2019 11:33:03 AMIs it matchmaking though? Does MM really take account of people who actually play the objective? I don't think so... As ever the game mode is full of kids who WILL NOT CAP ZONES. The mechanics of IB are now such if 3 people in the team are not wised up enough to fight to win CONTROL of the zones, you will likely lose Current IB zone mechanics heavily punish teams with players who don't play the objective and heavily reward a co-ordinated team that fights to control two zones then pushes on to cap all 3 It isn't match-making, it's dumb people who convince themselves IB Control is all about "slaying"

4 RepliesWell Iron Banner has SBMM apparently. So not much they can do.
