From what I can tell I'm being matched based on having almost never played on a premade team and almost never using ohk special weapons.

It only works if everyone is the same KDA. If one on your fireteam has a 3.0+KDA and the rest has 1.0 KDA. You will be matched in a higher pool and get smashed.

Get better?

Just look at the reactions to the flawless pool in Trials! That’s why it won’t be brought back. The top 1% of crucible players throw legit temper tantrums when they have to play people who play like them. They don’t want the close matches and the intense matches; They want to absolutely -blam!- kick teams into the ground.

[quote]So if I remember right wasnt sbmm taken out due to having slower match making because player pool was to small?[/quote] Yes. Bungie tried to spin it by saying the the wider variety of experiences in matches was "better" for the game and the player base. That was after saying that they "broke" SBMM by accident...and just never got around to FIXING it. The truth is that Bungie needed Google and Stadia's infrastructure to work on the game from home during the Pandemic....and with a daily player engagement of only 2000 players (that right....not a typo) Stadia's playerbase was too small to support anything else. [quote]If so with it being cross platform now why can't it be brought back.[/quote] It can. Which is why you see so many who are invested in CBMM and in being allowed to bully weaker players are getting upset. Its also why a version of SBMM was added to Trials of Osiris just 2 weeks after Crossplay went live. Its also why---after 2 years of saying how wonderful CBMM was at every tur----Bungie has suddenly got very QUIET about it....and why CMs like DMG are not willing to rule out its coming back. Historically, when something has NO chance of happening, Bungie is very quick to get out there and put a stop to any talk about it. So they don't create any false expectations. The fact that they were NOT willing to quash any talk about SBMM coming to 6v6 means that they ARE talking about it....and there is a significant chance that it may comeback. Now that they've solved the problems that drove them to CBMM

SBMM with looser brackets than before would be ideal IMO. The key for me is to keep some skill variety within lobbies but try to prevent people from being hopelessly outclassed. Nobody wants to sweat balls 24/7 but equally nobody wants to be dumpstered 90% of the time.

I will gladly take a stomping as long as the game I'm in has good hit detection and there aren't unhittable players teleporting all over the map.

I agree that there needs to be some level of SBMM, but not at the expense of connection quality and queue times. I was also hoping that Cross Play would help out, but maybe they just haven’t tried yet? IF there is never going to be any form of SBMM taken into consideration then I think they need to implement some form of "skill-advantage", or rather "unskill-advantage". Basically use the power level advantage mechanic but apply it based on skill (ELO? Combat Rating?) instead of power level. Obviously lower skill gets the advantage. This wouldn't turn lower skilled players into PvP gods, but hopefully they could stay alive long enough to "get good" as the cool kids say. Obviously the advantage curve would be dynamically calculated based on your current opponents. Sometimes you may get a big advantage, other times not.

I want SBMM return but problems with SBMM is reverse booster There so many reverse booster in call of duty

Nah that would be expecting too much of a small indie studio like Bungie

change is easy.....Change is hard. If everyone that is fed up with the game walked away it would change. Simple and quick. That also makes it hard. People lack the resolve to get the change. Nothing typed here will make any difference at all.

That wasn’t the only reason. There was a lot of poor connection and several other issues

I don't think elite streamers and "influencers" would tolerate a 6v6 mode with skill matchmaking.
