SBMM and Leave Penalties
I am not posting this to start debate.
I simply disliked SBMM in a "quickplay" environment that is intended for a casual experience, but the banning from both control and competitive for leaving a control match gave me quite the chuckle to see today.
To anyone else peeved by this, these posts honestly mean nothing.
If you don't like what they have done, boycott the playlist. Same as voting with your wallets not joining a playlist sends just as strong a message. If their changes result in a total player count dropping far enough they would revert them simple as that.
On the other hand, if you think control needs to be sweaty, and that the leaving penalty needs enforce, by all means keep playing!
I however, will not set foot in control a single time for the rest of this season, and possibly longer depending on how long these changes persist.

113 Replies[i]Casual for who?[/i] Bungie's data made it very clear that CBMM was not creating an experience that was remotely "casual" for people of average-or-less skill. Which is why half the player base melted away. Whereas now that SBMM has been back for only 4 weeks, Crucible numbers for yesterday were 573k....which is getting back up to where it was BEFORE CBMM was forced on the player base. No disrespect, but the player base is already voting with their feet and voting with their wallets.....and they are (once again) coming down on the side of SBMM. ...and this is why the industry as a whole is making it standard.
