I am not a young man anymore, my reflexes and eye sight have deteriorated. Yet, I like playing PvP - on my level. However, with every iteration of PvP, Bungie is denying this more to players like me.
- SBMM got removed, forcing me into matches with far better players
- Super energy is primarily given if you damage or kill players, making it very hard to get ability kills for me
- I am not even gonna start about the gross imbalance of many guns. Suros Regime vs. Dead Man's Tale? LOL. Anything against a good hand cannon? ROFL.
Despite of what you think, wielding a "hand cannon" in a computer game doesn't make you a great marksman. It may just make you a great "point and click" man ... or kid.
I could do without PvP if you didn't have to play it for certain catalysts or for pinnacle gear.
Calling PvP "competitive" and then placing players way out of their league has nothing to do with competitive. Soccer players from the amateur league aren't pitted against premier league players either, or are they?
Bungie, your thought- and mindless "competetive" ePenis attitude just sucks.
As it is now, I will have to give up on masterworking certain catalysts and I will just sit through the 3 PvP matches per week and char that will give me pinnacle loot. If that is what you want, Bungie: Players just idling through the crucible - so be it. I will also just give up on Iron Banner. Maybe you don't care about people like me, but I am not the only one thinking like that. You are actually crapping on a part of your customer base here.
May I also remind you that no real values are involved here. This is just a computer game with virtual assets that have no real world value. I am also having a PvE focus in Destiny. I wouldn't not bother with PvP at all if Bungie had left me an alternative.
May I also add that people who are seriously into competitive computer gaming do not play Destiny. They play better games with better balance, better scoring, better servers and better anti cheat measures. That's a reason why I cannot even ask my son to do such quests for me. He just thinks Destiny sucks. He has master rank in Apex Legends now.
So this is a request to put things right here and give worse players like me a chance to fulfill PvP related quests. You should at least introduce an option where I can chose whether I want skill or connection based MM. I know, Bungie has always had a hard time letting players make their own decisions on how to play "their" game, but how about a change of mind here.
