So, I'm not the first average crucible K/D 'Johnny-Day-Job' to suggest this, but I'll say it again for the sweaty bois in the back:
PVP is downright oppressive for new lights.
ESPECIALLY on "Rift" weekend when trials isn't active. Literally unplayable. Let's be honest, Trials teams steamrolling new lights is bad for everyone. No amount of loot will convince people to submit to that.
Again, this may have been answered before and if so, excuse my ignorance...
But why do we not do connection matchmaking for Trials (where the streamers belong) and Skill Based MM for everything else PVP? I would gladly wait an extra 35 seconds to actually have a chance for my little brother/new friend/blueberry to actually improve instead of getting seemingly one tapped, steamrolled, and mercied without any feedback within 1:30.
Idk, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but, I'd love to know why we can't have both.

2 RepliesIt is an issue that is far beyond the range of skill levels playing each other.. The games weapon pool is so far out of whack that finding a place in PvP is beyond punishing until you except the very shallow pool of viable weapons. On top of that issue is the free damage buffs that lead to easy kill perks that then leads into a match being snowballed into the messes we currently have. What it takes to get a viable build/load out to go into PvP, AND while you have to give it your all, is brutal unless you are just highly skilled. Then the cherry on top of it all.. Gaming is about muscle memory, reactions and approach. When said mode is never refreshed, maps are stale and the op meta keeps changing… You have players that do not even have to be looking at a corner to pick up an easy kill. They just know where players are at all times and prefire if they see red on the radar. 100% this game is beyond brutal on new or returning players and I honestly never see it changing. And as bungie keeps putting more and more paywalls in this game per the loot… I would never recommend this game to any friend of mine that used to play it.
