Hey, found the toxic player 🤣

nah it's just the truth and you're used to ppl lying to you to protect your ego. comp is heavy sbmm so if you're games are "unbalanced" constantly and you can't win it means you're so bad that its hard to find players that bad and the game loosens the skill band. trials is meant to be a "tournament" style and not everyone is supposed to go flawless. pve in this game is easy so idk why you say you can't fit into a raid team. nearly the entire game is have a linear and you are literally given the crafting pattern to one of the best linears in the game sooooo

Looks like I called my shot, right on the money. I could do PvE and trudge through finding a decent not toxic team but my schedule does not alow for that. I actually work for a living. So, that leaves PvP. And in the other comments below, I've learned a couple things with how sbmm works, where its placed, and how to engage with it. I'm no Faze clan card holder for sure, but I consider myself better than average and would just like to play the game on a similar skill level where applicable. That's all. It's people like you who make it so hard to like the game and community, but keep acting like a Split Lip and keep shouting "get good" from your tower of ****

lol i work for a living too buddy. sbmm shouldn't exist. flawless pool shouldnt exist. ppl cry about "playing sweats" when "sweats" make up ....<5% of the playerbase lol. you know what its like to wait 20+ minutes for a match because of sbmm? or every game having horrible connection because of the connections since im forced into playing a tiny portion of the player base. bungie literally catered every change in pvp in the last year towards the casuals. sbmm, flawless pool, AE, slide nerf. and guess whats happened? lowest numbers ever.

Well we at least agree that Bungie shouldn't have catered to the casuals and implemented all that nonsense. Ah yeah, I've been around for awhile in the player base: trying to play back in COO/ Warming was awful. Same with back in D1 with content droughts. The good old days of chatting for 15 minutes while casual control matches loaded in the void of space. But back then, they changed to connection based matches and it felt so much better. People like me didn't ask for sbmm, easier content, and I dont mind getting stomped. Its going to happen.i expect it, especially given my time that I can devote to D2 nowadys. Especially in competitive content. But as I stated before in my original post, there's a pattern I'm experiencing that I feel should be addressed because I'm having super fun close games (win or loss) and then it feels like a switch flips and I feel powerless. Why is that when it happens minutes from those great feeling games? Thats all I wanna know and see if light can be shed on it. We gonna be chill now?

fair enough. yeah i think that it's honestly because of the dying player base tbh. sbmm makes it even worse and the connections are awful. it doesnt help this meta is terrible. i played trials this weekend with my normal team (historically all top 2%+ in trials) and we played the vast majority of games against other top player. also, ive never seen this confirmed in destiny but most "competitive" games try to oppose streaks. e.g., if you're on a winning streak they try and force a loss with match making, and same the other way. the reason is usually because they are trying to protect players mental
