I realized that one of Bungie's best decisions has been to exclude matchmaking from raids and ToO.
I queued up with 2 of my friends in competitive and then quick play on Overwatch, and we were just getting THEE most horrid teammates.
From terrible character choices, zero awareness, to just down right lacking common sense, these players were nothing but a hindrance.
If it's one positive thing I have to say about Bungie is that they made the correct choice in excluding matchmaking from raids and ToO (while I do admit it should be added to Nightfalls).
To the people who have no friends still playing Destiny, rather than crying about being excluded from end game activities, find a group or make your own.
Stop being a lazy sack of shit.
(excuse my insensitivity to social anxiety)
**edit:
I came back to peruse some of these comments and it's astonishing to see so many people who lack reading comprehension or the ability to read.
First of all, I did not make any comparisons between OW and Destiny. I simply described a realization about [b]matchmaking[/b] followed by a brief description of my experience while playing Overwatch (as my topic title suggests).
Second, never in my post did I mention that I wanted matchmaking to be abolished. I simply complimented Bungie to excluded matchmaking from activities that require heavy communication and teamwork such as raids and ToO.
And about optional matchmaking, no it personally does me no harm for it to exist and it's something I couldn't care less about. To be realistic, you won't see it in D1. Maybe in D2.

1 Reply[quote] To the people who have no friends still playing Destiny, rather than crying about being excluded from end game activities, find a group or make your own. Stop being a lazy sack of shit.[/quote] Some of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever played with have come from the recruitment forum and LFG. I'd rather not waste hours finding a competent team just to play a game when I can get a team instantly. If they suck, I can move on quickly. It's not about players being lazy, it's about bungie being lazy.

1 ReplyEver had a bad LFG team? Optional matchmaking is a great tool, especially if you just need to fill a spot. Those who can't see that are just console kiddies.

1 ReplyOP played [b]pvp [/b]matchmaking , talks about [b]pve [/b] matchmaking (raid) and get's upvotes. nobody ever asked for ToO matchmaking. is everybody stupid?

1 ReplyYea i have no regular crew to play with yet i do the raid every week its not hard to find ppl especially using this app

3 RepliesI don't understand why people whine about no matchmaking, there's a beautiful tool called lfg

OPTIONAL, meaning you can not use it if you don't want to. So if you choose to never use it you don't have to deal with it's downsides. That is what optional means.

Getting teamed up with scrubs isn't even the main issue. Trolls are a very real thing. Let me say that again.... TROLLS ARE A VERY REAL THING.

43 RepliesI think the majority of players who are asking for matchmaking just want it to be optional. I personally hate using a third party site to play a game. Destiny 2 should have an in game lfg and optional matchmaking in my opinion.
-
3 RepliesI think matchmaking should have been in destiny's raids or even trials. you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
-
1 ReplyI think you are all a bunch of elitist pricks. Its easy to forget that once upon a time it was your first match as well.
-
Joining a Clan was one of my better decisions. I strongly encourage others to do so as well. The game could really use an LFG in the game.
-
Exactly Bungie learned from other games and not have matchmaking for the hardest stuff in game. I dont wanna match with 5 people with no mics.

I understand the angle you're coming from. Though I personally believe matchmaking for that should be optional. But if that's the case, then it would be useless to add since at least half or more of the community would not use it.

Is it sad that I tried it when it was free for a weekend and got the most kills my 3rd game?

Edited by CitrusTheNile: 10/18/2016 2:55:08 PMYou are comparing apples to oranges. Matchmaking for OW is the same as Destiny since they are both match-made for PvP experiences. You cannot make a post about matchmaking in regards to PvE content when talking about OW since it is a PvP game. The matchmaker for raids should be optional, and even if it is optional the weight of needing good communication in a raid is much heavier than compared to PvP. You don't need good communication to successfully complete a PvP match.

2 RepliesMatchmaking should be optional. At the very least there should be an in game system to look for friends and people to do the activity you are seeking to do. Every other game has matchmaking for its activities, most games have a way to communicate you need people for an instance. When I buy a game for ps4, I should not have to use a secondary device to make the game easier. It should already be in the game.

1 ReplyOverwatch and destiny are different. In overwatch there are 20+ characters where destiny has 3 with 3 subclasses
-
Even if optional, end-game MM will cause more problem instead of solving them (especially with this forum community) They should put in a LFG in-game and that's all.
-
2 RepliesMaking a raid with matchmaking would be the most anoying think in the worl. And trials demand good comunication in order to perform well, so I agree with you in that point.

Last comment about optional matchmaking - it hurts nobody. And the post could have ended there... with identical outcome.

"Its astonishing to see the amount of people who lack reading comprehension and the ability to read" Lmao best thing ive seen all day

3 RepliesI don't get people like you... if its optional I dont understand why you still dont want it it's for the people who just want to hop into activities without going on a app or website and AT LEAST have the chance at doing the activity for everyone else they can use lfg and etc
