We know the Iron Banner could be better. Unless you are just one of those players that Always brings 4 or 5 of his friends with you the Iron Banner ends up being a several day grind. Also if you are a soloist you tend to run into these communicating fireteams and have a heck of a time trying to accomplish anything with your team of randoms. Let's not mention the players dropping out and the join in progress... ugh! It's rough. So overall a change in the way matchmaking works is one of our complaints. The other main complaint is the rewards. Some people complain about the level they drop at. Some people complain about the rate. Which was terrible. Iron Banner gear did not drop nearly frequently enough. Especially since it was supposed to be the main way to get the gear now. So yeah, improvements are needed. My two ideas for improving the Iron Banner involve: Increasing reward frequency and splitting the Iron Banner playlist. "What? Splitting it? That sounds crazy.", you may say. But I think that having one Iron Banner playlist WITH fireteams enabled and having one Iron Banner playlist WITHOUT firetems enabled may be the best solution overall. That way Everyone has a fair chance no matter what. Soloist can play in either playlist but if you have a fireteam you can only play in one. I think this is a great way to solve the problems we are currently having. Now some of you may say, "But then wouldn't you have battles of uneven teams sometimes in the fireteam playlist?" To that I say they can just set the matchmaking to find matches of even teams. Even if that means putting a team of 6 on one side against a team with 3 teams of 2. Or even sometimes just 5 vs. 5 or 4 vs. 4. It would make things interesting. Now some of you may say, "Why would a soloist ever try to play with fireteams in this situation?" or, "What if not enough fireteams are playing?" Too that I say that Bungie could possibly increase drop rates even just a little bit higher in the fireteam playlist. Like in the soloist only playlist drops are increased by 50% from what they are now but in the fireteam friendly playlist they might be 60-70% more than the current drop rate. Therefore giving soloist a reason to weigh their options. "Should I just go into the soloist playlist and have a fairer chance of having fun and winning, or do I go into the fireteam playlist and risk utter destruction for a better chance at loot?" I think these are pretty good changes to the Iron Banner. My only compromise would be to have only ONE playlist WITHOUT fireteams enabled. What do you think? Are these reasonable changes? If you like them give this post a like and vote above. Or vote against if that suits you better. :)
