Pvp strike team is probably suffering massive burnout. Do them and yourself a favor and play a different pvp game😁

We do have skill based matchmaking lol, what do you want at this point? Do you guys understand how pvp works? One team is gonna lose and the other is gonna win. It’s hilarious how many of you feel you should be winning all your games and have perfect lobbies. In a multiplayer game, perfect matchmaking doesn’t exist. You can have the best players in the world in one team and they can still lose because they could be running meme builds for fun or don’t feel like sweating. The game will put them on your team because of their actual skill but it doesn’t mean it’s an automatic win for you. The day you all learn to accept pvp for what it is, is the day you will all enjoy pvp.

Is it not common knowledge sbmm is in everything except trials? Its part of the reason why the population is dead.

[quote]Bungie, please put a focus on PVP balancing. The lobby balancing is ridiculous. [/quote] I agree with this portion of your post. Lobby balancing still leaves something to be desired, but there are so few players. [quote]Make it Skilled Based Matchmaking. Let the PVP specialists all go against one another and leave the lower skilled players to have room to improve. You have these "try-hards" or "sweats" that go into regular queues and just clean up. How is that providing a good experience for the other player. [/quote] Why is it so clear to you that you don't want these people potentially populating your space but you want them to only play with each other as their entire experience? [quote]I know I will get a lot of negative comments for this but honestly, I've been playing this game for almost 10 years and each year it gets worst.[/quote] ... [quote] Don't just focus on a new map or nerfing some gun. Really work on balancing this game out. Bring back your security team. [/quote] That's been the focus for nearly a decade. We do need new maps. Guns need to be continually adjusted to make an environment of rock, paper, scissors. This game can't be balanced with random rolls and subclass builds. But I agree, the security team needs to be here in full force. But if you don't give yourself high speed internet, a monitor, and a controller with paddles, you aren't equipped to give yourself the best possible chance in these environments anyway. All the extreme segregation that happened thrusted us into a much worse state than what was happening before. Curated games to control win rate. Massive Lag. Changes to AE and Stability/flinch only to be all but reversed influenced the current state of things. These systems, how ever necessary in the eyes of some, needed better implementation or shouldn't have ever existed at all.

Completely agree with you. TLDR: The messed up lobby balancing is to ensure a 50/50 win ratio. Have any of you ever paid attention to who gets placed on what team after a game or two? Example, after one match the system notices who the best players are on each team. After two matches it does the same but will mix up some of the bottom tier players. After three, any players that have lost twice, will be placed with the top players from both teams. The resulting team is usually sooooo good that even with only five players (i.e. 5v6) they still win. Why five players? Because I give the controller to my 4 year old who gets zero kills and gives the other team like 20 kills. After that match, the balancing keeps putting losing players with the best players to ensure they get wins.

Skill issue at Bungie.
