Don't get me wrong, I love playing with my team and when we do we have a great time. But holy mother-blam!-er of God, IB is absolutely unplayable solo. I came back from The Division for some banana and played with my group and had a blast, destiny can still be fun.... Then people started going to bed and I thought "hey, I'll just play a couple more for fun" and boy was I wrong about any chance of having fun. Game after -blam!-in game I join 5 minutes in on a team that is getting absolutely obliterated; chaining supers, B completely locked down. No fun, half the time getting spawn killed by heavy or super and barely getting a chance to attempt anything. Yeah it happens once or twice, get over it, quit being a bitch; but this isn't a "once or twice" deal. Game ends and it goes "breaking up teams because your bitchass sucked floppy dick" and bam, right back in the same scenario. Over and -blam!-ing over again without the decency of at lest putting me in a fresh game as it starts to get pummeled. I don't know what the fix is, but this is absolutely ridiculous, I cry for those who attempt the banana who do not have a team, those sad poor players who only have PvE raid friends. This isn't "competitive", this isn't "challenging", this is -blam!-ing atrocious that the matchmaking system can is so -blam!-ing broken that the only way to have a decent game is to play with a 6 person fireteam which forces the game to only place you in fresh games. EDIT: I removed the suggestion which wasn't meant as a serious suggestion and should have easily been identified as hyperbole, but apparently too many people are losing their shit over it and are unable to grasp the fundamental concepts of this thread. You -blam!-ing autistic children.... There is an apparent lack of critical thinking and logical problem solving with a good chunk of the community here. There is a group of people that come to this thread with some sort of idea that because they occasionally get good games playing solo or that they can get their characters to rank 5 that somehow it refutes the issue. Some people will say "use lfg" or "just play with friends", whatever fail to realize that you aren't solving the problem but simply putting a bandaid on it. There is a difference between hiding symptoms of a problem and actually fixing a problem. I, and everyone else, already know the bandaids, I know about LFG, I use it all the time. This issue is noticed stemming from instances where I want to just play a quickie or too without investing in an LFG team. It's kind of a dick move to join an LFG team and bail after a game or two. Yes, throughout my time playing Iron Banana I've had my fair share of good games but the amount of terrible games and matchmaking isn't negated by the few accidental instances of a good match; saying "there is no problem because I've played enough good games" is comparable to saying a clock isn't broken because you got lucky with the instances you've looked and compared it to another time source. It's broken at 6:00 and you only ever check if it's working at 6:00. And even more so, there are the posters who just seem offended and appalled at the fact that I'm calling this out. It's like some of you simply can't handle the fact that parts of this game are broken and you feel you need to use every broken argument to try and claim otherwise. If your personal identity is so intertwined with this game that you're taking personal offense to the suggestion of the fact that it's broken than you need to reevaluate the priorities in your life.
