Match system

I am so tired of your idiotic PvP match system. The good players want to be matched with average players so they can pad their KDA and you run back to the drawing board and give them what they want. Heaven forbid people are matched on the basis of skill. Stop catering to them...they make up 5% of the total player base with part of that 5% being the peak players. I have had five matches in a row that resulted in mercy rule activation. Yes, I know I am an average player...but we count too. You want more people to play but you cater a small minority of the community. Naturally when I bring up skill based matching everyone who plays PvP whines. You folks gave up on it after less than one season, twice. Oh...and separate Trials KDA from standard PvP KDA.

      • This post highlights the EXACT problem with casual players. Casual players don’t care about matchmaking or game balance, they just want things handed to them without putting in ANY effort. First: This person is complaining that Bungie is catering to the top 5% of players then goes on to say for 5 games in a row they got stomped by good players. This logic is completely backwards. If casual players make up 95% of the player base then you OBVIOUSLY can’t be playing versus top 5% players every single game. Either casuals make up 95% of the player base OR you’re matching top 5% players every game, but not both. This is further proven by looking at this persons previous match history. Every game they lost not a single player was in the top 5%. To go even further not a single player in any of the games they lost could be classified as an above average player. Every game they lost was to average/below average players at BEST. Source: Their Destiny tracker. Second) The OP goes on to say “heaven forbid they match based on skill.” Ironically they were playing control which IS a skill based matchmaking game mode. Now to be fair they have recently been playing supremacy, however the mercy games they’re speaking about where all control games. This person is complaining about now having skill based matchmaking in a skill based matchmaking mode…why? Source: Their Destiny tracker. The answer is simple. Go look at the rest of the forums. Casual player complain about matchmaking REGARDLESS of CBMM or SBMM. This weekend alone the forums have been flooded with post speaking on how bad Trials matchmaking is and this weekend it’s SBMM. This is because casuals lack something very important that the top 1% players have. Self accountability. Casual players don’t care about matchmaking, weapon balance, game balance, content, etc. They just don’t want to lose and want to feel like they’re good at the game WITHOUT putting in any effort to get there. That’s it. Casuals will find every excuse possible to deflect and shift blame instead of just saying “I’m not good at this game and if I want to do better I need to improve.” No matter what matchmaking is in the game or what mega it is these players will complain CONSTANTLY. Last) It’s true that casual players make up 90%+ of gamers. However, the people who play constantly, who spend the most money and time, the people who care the most about the game are often NOT the casual players. The casuals will move on and player other games, or quit, or complain about things completely in their control. The “try hards” and “sweats” are the ones who come back day after day. We are the ones who play and truly understand the problems of the game. Stop listening to the casuals, Bungie. It’s the biggest mistake you can make.

        • With the lack of dedicated servers cbmm is the clear choice.

        • Bungie's current iteration of SBMM blends the benefits of skill-based matchmaking without the cons of longer queue times and lag. That "blending" comes at a cost, though: The skill parameters are more relaxed, especially when the population is low. Right now, lots of players are playing Supremacy instead of the other 6v6 modes. Additionally, it's the end of the season, and numbers usually dwindle. It's no wonder you're matching players outside of your skill bracket. In my opinion, Bungie's SBMM is about as good as it can get. I personally wish it was stricter, but good connections are a requirement to have fair and fun games. Bungie should switch their focus to improving their Lobby Balance formula to prevent lopsided games.

          • Only 5 ? See, thing is, if you lost the other team won. So it's not all bad, right? It's PvP, man, did you really expect any different? [spoiler]REALLY?[/spoiler]

              ‘We count too’ Well said. Average Players Matter.
