There's been a lot of discussion about ToO, and one of the more popular ideas to solve problems with this game's lack of skill-based matchmaking was "Make the 9-0ers who went Flawless be separated from general matchmaking and fight other Flawless teams?" ... which has mostly been met with vocal opposition by the Lighthousers. My question is [b]why[/b]?
Most posts I see that're like "No don't make the flawless teams fight each other!" are usually the same people that try to preach about how ToO is supposed to be a "for the skilled only" and "haha let's wreck scrubs", etc. ... an air of arrogance surrounds them. There's a feeling of genuine accomplishment and superiority they try to convey when talking about their flawless runs. How many flawless runs they did, and so forth. However, when the idea that they may have to fight [i]equally skilled teams[/i] that whole bravado is replaced by a resounding protest. Buttholes pucker in fear. Testicles coil upwards as they nervously hammer out a response on the forums.
If ToO is supposed to be a legitimate "the best of the best" PvP Arena event, this is naturally the only way to truly see who's the best team, so if you're actually good then fighting teams of your own skill-tier shouldn't actually be a problem. The only reason why any Lighthouser should be afraid of a "9-0ers Only" matchmaking would be if they [i]were carried to the Lighthouse[/i] or built their streak cherry-picking for matches against lower leveled, under-equipped teams. There's no denying the logic that the true Crucible beasts should be just fine when fighting teams of the same skill, unless they weren't as good as they claim to be.
So what's a legitimate counter-argument to the proposal of a "9-0ers Only" matchmaking?

9 답변작성자: DiRTY Zs 6/10/2015 6:38:41 PMSo let's just say there is the tier system and flawless plays only flawless. Let's say you and your team( just for the sake of my point) are in the lower tier and you go flawless, great lighthouse here we come. Now you have gone flawless and you are feeling good do you decide to go back into trials. But since you just went flawless you get bumped up a tier and now are playing against people that are supposedly better then you. Now you are getting stomped and not having any fun. Now we are back in the same place.

9 답변I'll give you my honest opposing opinion. I'm a lighthouser, but I'll try to keep it civil as possible. The simple answer is: It makes getting 9-0 much easier and takes away it's prestige. I don't think I have to explain how segregating flawless players makes attaining flawless easier, so I'll move on. Trials is the endgame for many players who prefer pvp. It's the PvE equivalent of a raid. Those who trained hard to get good at PvP whilst getting almost no rewards for almost a year want to feel special when they go 9-0. If you want to segregate flawless players, fine, but at least give us rewards for making the game harder for us. For example: Make a tier two trials where the best play against the best. If you go flawless there you get a different emblem and the same guns, with a chance at exclusive armor. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Meet us halfway. If you want the guns, fine. Make us stand out for our hard work though.

1 답변This is the only Pvp game I have played where professionals play with newbies All others have a ranking system I got to platinum in starcraft 2 a couple of times beat a few diamonds and one grandmaster I actually don't want to play against scrubs. When you play better people you get wrecked from the bad habits of playing scrubs Eventually only high levels will play TOO and that will be that

8 답변If it were to work with flawless matching with flawless, In all reality, everyone would come close to, or go flawless at one point or another. You'd basically be handing out a flawless to everyone that plays, which is the complete opposite of what the game type is supposed to be. I hear PoE has some stuff you can get, why all the infatuation with PvP? If you aren't good at it, don't play trials, just like the people who don't like PvE don't play PvE. All in all, you're making the decision to play TOO, and you aren't good enough to make the cut. Stick to something else and gain some practice

Skill based matchmaking for ToO would kind of negate the point of the whole thing. However, I think it would be great if there were a second stage of ToO for those who go flawless. Example: 1. Get flawless - receive flawless token (only one per week across all characters - automatically erased at end of week) 2. Have a building or tower in the lighthouse. - Token grants entry to tower. - ToO where you will be matched only against other teams who also have access to 'elite' ToO. - A win grants you access to next level of tower - A single loss deletes your token and any further participation in 'elite' ToO for the week. 3. Each level of the tower has a unique, awesome reward better than the one on the level below. 4. Limit the number of floors to the tower (5 for example) 5. After reaching the maximum floor, points are awarded for further victories. 6. Teams/players with the highest score for that week receive massive reward, plus shader/emblem etc. that give them full-on bragging rights and elite status. For example - on entry to this new tower you could choose a weapon archetype such as pulse/hand cannon etc and select the type of sights you want. The next level of the tower would offer you the ability to add a new perk (not random - chosen). Perks get better as you ascend. Upon reaching the top level of the tower you will have a unique custom weapon with special perks. If you continue playing, you earn a point for a win. If by some miracle, your team or you get the highest score for that week (or maybe second or third place), Bungie sends you a unique reward to the postmaster.

There are many flaws in this post that have been addressed but another major one would be this example.. Me going to the lighthouse many times would be in the elite tier.. but I also try to carry my clan through trials since im the best in PvP player in my clan... many of them havent been to the lighthouse.. so if they haven't been to the lighthouse and I have, would we get put in the elite tier or the normal tier... either way it would be unfair

작성자: Justin_Giver 6/10/2015 7:05:37 PMYou can't remove them from the pool however a playlist only for flawless players to enter would be awesome. I'm not a flawless player, maybe I won't be, but to give them an arena they know would be at least filled with similar winners would be great. A Monday to Thursday list, no crazy rewards just a place for the top tier to play against others. The alternative could be in the matchmaking. Once you hit 5-0 you are matched against other flawless teams that are say 5 or 6 and zero. Once you hit 7 you play against other 7s and the same at 8. The best playing the best. It would keep the best at the top and ensure people can't always be carried. This would limit my ability to get to the lighthouse but in the spirit of competition, real competition would win out.

7 답변Because 90% of them cheated or were carried. Haven't been in a match against three decent players yet, just teams with one guy who is f ucking undefeatalbe. Trials is a joke, the heat maps say all you need to know about it. Only about 4% of the map gets used. Jetpacks on our backs and people still want to sit still, a mile away, and snipe you.

Initially I was 100% on board with you while reading your post, then a few fatal flaws came to mind. With all flawless teams put into their own queue, the remaining players put into the "easy" queue would have a much easier time reaching the lighthouse (when they otherwise wouldn't have), would be flagged as "flawless" themselves, and moved to the flawless queue. This cycle would continue from week to week, sifting the higher-skilled players from the easier queue to the flawless queue, until the easy queue would literally become SO easy that literally anyone could graduate to the flawless queue, in effect ending up where we are now, with no separation between skill levels, only everyone would be in the flawless queue with the flawless title which in effect would be meaningless. I think the only real solution would be the further along your path to 9-0 (a 4-0 to 6-0 tier, for example) your team would then be matched to other teams who are currently on the same tier on their path to 9-0.

8 답변I am one of those 9-0 guys. Yes I have done 3 weeks on 3 characters. Plus multiple runs to help others. I have played against good teams and bad. I feel skill based should be in the ToS. I and others are up for that consistent challenge. The deal with it now, is if we blow out a team. It is not fun for us and definitely not fun for them. I would gladly accept skill based.
-
4 답변Can't stand the crucible but punishing skilled players for being skilled doesn't seem like a fix. If someone spends a great deal of time to become good in Pvp, easily killing less skilled opponents seems like a fair reward. It's endgame Pvp content, the skilled should kill the weak.
-
4 답변Lol ur argument sucks. Basically you want to wait for all the good kids to go nine and 0 then u can get an easy 9 and 0 run. If you cant win u better go practice. Its pretty sad really. The point is to compete and u want to kick the competition out. Too is for good kids. Its impossible to win if u suk unlike the the pve content. Sorry sir but you are not good enough to go 9 and 0. Just buy an account with the gear and shaders. Lol you will have better luck.

7 답변작성자: lickwid elite 6/10/2015 6:14:02 PMA poem for the elitist lighthouser's There is no form in the forums We really should mourn the morons Cuz this is a new breed of stupid... Darwin is getting involved with cupid Dumb and entitled is what it will make Creating this new elitist special snowflake Flawless in the Trials... you go around bragging We all know its just your internet lagging Thorn and fellwinters is all you use... When i see that... its like lighting my fuse Im going with a bang and will blow up in your face Gaining on you fast... like im running a race No time for slowing or stopping Your head will soon be popping You wont see me coming... even if you looked through the hubble I could have a neon sign on top of my bubble Turn left or right??.. it doesn't matter which way People look at your stats... was he AFK?? Got you raging now... throwing a fit Mowing you down with husk of the pit Booted from the game or did you forfeit? I slapped you so hard it sent you back to orbit. So you power down your console whilst starting to blub Head over to the forums with comments like "git gud scrub" It wasn't me who had to rage quit It's clearly because you are just shit But what is the reason for all of the salt? Every death is someone else's fault I think i finally understand the problem Its because you heavily depend on your mum Living in her basement playing 24/7 Stocked up with cheetos from the 7/11 The toilet you use is really a bucket Have you been outside cuz it doesn't look it?? At the end of destiny... when it's all said and done Your 20 stone heavier with arthritis in your thumb Your health is in decline and its becoming more gradual All those hours ploughed in to get beat by a casual. So i urge you now to go outside... stop being a wussy You never know... you might actually get some pussy!! [spoiler]Just so you know... I've never been in ToO or PVP much at all tbh. I just like making mad rhymes and dislike elitists[/spoiler]

So let's say your team sucks but some miracle you made it 9-0 with all the boons and maybe a couple lucky team lag outs from the other team now your not so good team is flagged as flawless and forever fighting against elites you can't beat

5 답변First off I've gone flawless every week.... My teams tactics and adjustment of tactics has payed off three weeks in a row. And no I'm not bragging, hell my pvp stats aren't that great and I'll completely admit that. The argument against the "flawless matchmaking" would be that you would outright be handing away trips to the lighthouse unless of course the matchmaking was based off of account stats and not character stats. The noob players would only fight noobs and the flawless would only fight flawless players..... Well the difference between the noobs and the moderate players isn't that much so you would be essentially handing out lighthouse trips to them whereas everyone else would have to work for it. Having said that I don't and wouldn't mind facing better teams since the most rewarding matches in trials have been the ones we had to fight for instead of just steamrolling people. I just think that being matched based on skill would take away the reward of going flawless and not promote people to get better at pvp. That's like saying well buddy your not too good at raids so instead were gonna let you do the daily heroic for your raid rewards.

1 답변As a flawless player I would like to see all teams that go flawless be match made only with other flawless teams For that weekly trials . Example - go flawless and you want to keep playing , sure but you will be only faced with other flawless teams until reset ..

Because their egos are too big to fit into a map. With all that smugness isolated to one area a vacuum will be created in the rest of the game and the singularity created will pull you and your console into oblivion. But you probably cheated getting their anyways so good riddens.

2 답변People who want this are the same people that pushed Atheon, and lagged out Crota so he couldn't stand back up.

Its not that we dont want to fight eachother. The toughest games are the most rewarding. But I dont want to fight top players exclusively just because I have been to the lighthouse! You play against the ones you are matched up with. Some games are easy, some are hard! No backing out, no complaining! Everyone is equal, that is that!
