Nope, I’ve beaten pretty solid teams and even carried pretty hardcore against good ones that my teammates couldn’t play well against too. Let me get this through to you in a way you’ll hopefully understand a bit better. I don’t mind trying my hardest to win in a competitive mode that’s meant to be harder. I don’t want to have to play casual modes like my K/D depends on it.

Well if your defense is CoD or Halo or any other game that has “died”, how about you look at the fact that both are subpar games doing the same thing the last did with little to no changes repackaged crap on a yearly basis. You can’t quote SBMM for the reason if the vast other problems could just as easily contribute to the reason the game hemorrhages. Destiny 1 was perfect example of how SBMM can work.

They also introduced SBMM into trials late last year and it was the worst trials weekend. Average players are just fodder, and above average players are in limbo cause they aren’t good enough to stomp top players, but decent enough to go neck and neck with average players. That demograph suffers, and below average players assume every game is against a sweaty stack even though any game would be sweaty to them when a player doesn’t not walk around a corner and lands a lucky snipe.

During the first days of Iron Banner, nearly one million players piled in to play. According to player stat-tracking website DestinyTracker, the Crucible ⁠— which includes both PvP modes and Iron Banner ⁠— spiked at 942.8k concurrent players This is a direct quote from an article written about when SBMM was removed from crucible and iron banner modes in D2 back during season of the dawn or shortly thereafter. Here’s another direct quote from the article which also includes and actual direct quote from Bungie devs. It reads as follows. On June 11, the Destiny developers made a big call for their long-standing title. They flipped the switch on skill based-matchmaking, which has been one of the most controversial topics in gaming over the past few years. There were a few reasons Bungie decided to remove the unpopular feature from all but their most competitive PvP modes. The devs admitted it would primarily “shorten all queue times” and “improve connection,” both of which had been big problems for the title. This article was written two years ago around July or August, which would put us in the Season Of Opulences season which was actually before season of dawn. I’ll admit to my error in that way, but SBMM has been into this game before and it was detrimental and almost catastrophic to the playerbase. It never needs to return again.

Go look into it then, search up “SBMM finally hits Destiny 2” should be more than a few articles about it since it was one of the biggest flops in PvP gaming history, and the single biggest flop in Destiny’s history. Also, I’m gonna report your comment because I think you need a timeout mr.

Well both statement you gave aren't compatible Can't be like SBMM but also need lobby balancing
