Get a loss stack, emote and go do something actually fun or productive = profit. I got my laundry/ironing done, watched some very enthusiastic halfwits running stacked and playing like it was a new discipline in the olympics. Those people are so sad, but I got a pile of rubbish rocket launchers, must have been a clearance sale someplace ?, got the armour bits I wanted, shaders a total dud it really isn't worth the time. I also got a reset from Shaxx and a pile of mats. My wins? no idea or care, my kda ? lol I don't pvp and I'm over 13 so don't know or give a fig lol

It feels harder. When I started in was having a great time in matches that weren't too laggy. Competitive but it was still possible to do well. Winning a little more than half the time. But the longer I play to get that shader it just become progressively less competitive. I lose 1 out of 6 matches at this point and in most games I can't manage a single kill now. If this is sbmm it feels way too punishing, it feels like if I manage to do well in 1 match then the next 10 are just brutal and extremely discouraging.

Opposite experience for me solo q the whole event. I admit I do not fully understand how the final score works, because the final score board is confusing to me, but most of my games seemed relatively close. Hardly met any stacks, and when I did the games still felt balanced. Even the lag was fine for the most part I played a lot too! I was enjoying myself so just kept playing, thus my experience is likely statistically significant, see my count below. Got the shader Titan 26W/17L Warlock 18W/22L Let's call it 50% win rate. I acknowledge your experience has been negative, I don't know why it's so different for me and many others? I hope it improves for all

I played 40 solo matches and won 25 of them. Match making is fine.

if it makes you feel any better, ive won 89% of my matches and it's still souldraining because the mode is just trash

Not to mention cheaters and lag. So much of that happening. Shots not registering. Clear headshots with sniper but I get taken out by a hand cannon from across the map. Just garbage.

Yeah the matchmaking makes me want to powerbomb my monitor through a table. It's putting me into lobbies with people who have 2.2-2.5 KDs for some odd reason, meanwhile my team has 3 people who are 0.7 kd. It's sickening how with SBMM they still have the broken lobby balancing that forces losses on people. So many of my games are so unbalanced it's disgusting. Why is this system even in the game? Who benefits from a 50% winrate? Why are they manipulating the matchmaking when SBMM is in the game? It sucks that most of the outcomes are decided before the match even begins. The games are purposely unbalanced and it makes for a miserable experience. It is by far the biggest issue with pvp right now. You know right away 1-2 mins in when the other team just decimates your team and you can barely move around the map. It's like, how the F is this SBMM? If there's SBMM, then why do I always get teammates who are far worse than players on the other team? Why are there so many borderline mercy games? Just think about that. There's a TON of mercy games when it's supposed to be skill based matchmaking. Evenly skilled players would not result in so many mercy losses. It's because they aren't even. One team always has far worse players than the other, and it's an uphill climb for 1 team or a straight mercy loss. It's pathetic.

I see no difference from Freelance. My teammates are always incompetent. The problem is the player base and their inability to Git Gud. They'll blame anything, but themselves.

Really didn't have an issue with solo que this time around, most matches were very competitive. Would like to give a shout out to the increased rewards though, 55 matches to get a reset the first week then less than 20 this week👍

This season is odd. I love the new I.B. mode, but this week is waaay worse than the first week. First week was fantastic, no real issues, matches were mostly even, or within like 20-30 points between teams at match end. It seemed pretty even for the most part. Then this week its just been laggy, glitchy, horribly unbalanced dogsh*t. Its quite often the stomp on one side or the other, I land on both ends of that. I think part of it is that players have adjusted and are fine tuning tactics or whatever, so they're playing more refined and tactical, and the other part is Bungie f*cked something up in connectivity on Tuesday's patch, because that's when every issue started for me. I assume this will just keep going downhill from here. That's Bungie's greatest strength by far.

You are the Incompetent teammate buddy I'm gonna be honest with you, you have no right to complain about matchmaking when your K/D is less than 1 cry about it
