4 comp matches tonight - 3 of those matches where someone quit in the first round. Why is this still a problem, and why do I still have to lose points when some -blam!- quits? Edit - Could it be that these players lagged out? Possibly, but when I see a teammate whip out their ghost and vanish, that’s not lag. That was in 2 of the 3 instances. That’s intentional. Could it be a real life event that drew these players away? That could be too, but when you then go look them up and see them playing some other activity in the game, a life event probably was not the case. Could it be the player pool last night creating unbalanced teams? That’s more likely. Everyone playing IB to get their +2 pinnacles so smaller comp player pool? I can’t complain about my matchmaking times though - teams were forming pretty quickly. I do think team balance was a bit of problem in looking back at some of my matchups causing some rage quits. My rub is that it’s now easier to make progress in comp than ever, and if you are running freelance, matchmaking is likewise better than its ever been (although still could be improved). I have also found it easier to come back from a deficit to win the match. Losing 3-1 or 3-0; you can still come back to win. I’ve seen it. I will say, however, that a 3v2 matchup feels much more punishing than a 4v3 matchup was in prior seasons. I do think Bungie should take a harder stance on quitters in comp. I get that’s a balance and easier to say than to implement fairly, but they need to take additional measures. But, the bottom line is that if you’re going to join a match, then commit to the 10 minutes it takes to finish it, and try to help your teammates the best you can. Don’t be a -blam!-. Yes, I said don’t be a -blam!-.
