How's the SBMM treating everyone? Is it the savior of crucible?
I haven't had a chance to really dive into Crucible yet - I played one game on Tuesday but apparently SBMM wasn't active then so I have no experience with the new matching.
Is it the savior of the crucible as everyone was cheering for?
From the people I have spoken with, people with High and Low k/ds - the lobbies have been really bad. Things I've heard but I cannot confirm personally
- Extremely laggy lobbies and playing cross continent players
- With first point - hit detection is miserable
- People backing out left and right now
- Que times, especially for the higher tier player, are running from 5-10 mins
- Still massively unbalanced lobbies
- Higher tier players can't solo que has it's mainly 6 stacks
- Lower tier players can't play with their higher tier friends because the lobbies are nuclear violent for them in the higher tier lobby's.
I know it's basically day 3 of the new Season and that's a lot of stress on the engine with all the downloading and spike in player base but a lot of what I'm hearing is what I was afraid of when SBMM was announced. These are the exact same problems we've seen 3-4 in the past when SBMM has been entered and it doesnt' really get corrected - resulting in PvP population dropping significantly.
Which in turn, causes Bungie to put CBMM back in.
Thoughts?
