Matchmaking changes to 3v3 Survival and 3v3 Elimination
The dev team has just deployed changes to matchmaking settings for Survival, Freelance: Survival, and Labs: Elimination playlists to address feedback we've been receiving about skill mismatches. We’ll continue to monitor feedback and matchmaking data to improve these systems.
Today's report:
Freelance Survival at Mythic III: 17 games played: 9 loses, 8 wins. Even though it's close to 50/50, somehow, I lost 300 glory points. Just that fact alone proves that the point system in general, and the streak system in particular, are utterly rubbish. If you can't go up keeping a 50/50 (a ratio Bungie forces artificially), then there is no point in playing at all. By the way, not a single 3-win streak in 17 games.
But there is more! 5 out of those 9 loses were terrible 0-4 stomps, aka forced loses, against teams full of one-hit-killers that can't remember what primary ammunition was.
Current matchmaking is either broken or rigged. I don't know which one scares me the most.
I can't believe there is a matchmaking that everybody is enjoying up to 3000-4000 points and then this [b][u]NIGHTMARE[/u][/b] takes its place.
