You'd think being spawn locked at spawn point ( C zone ) for the entirety of the match, and score being 60 to 138 that the mercy rule would kick in. Alter of Flame map demonstrates so clearly how bad respawns are in crucible.

This was possible because of 1 or maybe 2 reasons. 1- D1Y1 was the best and most fair PvP experience for average players - in my opinion. Steamers didn’t become a thing till D1Y2. By that time, Bungie owners/managers had become huge fanboys of the popular streamers. To prove the point… Streamers got quite a few personal all- expense paid invites to private reveal/ planning sessions at Bungie headquarters. 2- Bungie became convinced that, from a business perspective, streamers were providing huge amounts of free advertising, and thus became the group to cater to, at the expense of the player base and all else. Streamers were/are generally higher skill than the average player. They didn’t want PvP games that were competitive - I. e. facing players on their skill level. They wanted games that made them look good. So, Bungie gave them games with opponents who had no situational awareness, no movement skills, no gun skills and only the weakest of guns/gear/mods. I should add that Bungie also removed/ nerfed every gun, every piece of gear and every ability that allowed an average player to win or trade an encounter with a better player… The Thorn in its prime, the Vex Mythoclast and one hit kill grenades to name a few…
