Just leaving a post, that bungie hopefully reads. Please keep SBMM in crucible. I absolutely hated crucible before this season. Constantly being stomped on by sweats. And now I can finally enjoy matches, where deaths feel fair.
Please don't listen to the YouTube/Twitch destiny players. This is the one area they are completely wrong. The view they have towards SBMM is completely toxic in my opinion.
The only reason they want non SBMM is to stomp on lesser skilled players. Which turns away the less skilled players from crucible.
Which in turn is responsible for the hellhole crucible was.
How is it not fair to be matched up against players of similar skill?
If the players you are matching up against are sweatlords, then clearly you too are a sweatlord, and you should be in those matches.
Once again, please keep SBMM, it is finally allowing for crucible to be open the other 99% of players.

22 RepliesFor context, I stopped playing PvP outside of Mayhem ages ago due to awful connections, crossplay was the final straw given I'm on Xbox n 90% of my opponents where on psn, it was just too much. Also, seeing people complain about matching people across the country is laughable, as a UK gamer I've had lobbies full of the middle East, Russia and Asia, since 2014, be it sbmm, cbmm, makes no difference. So this week I've played 6 games, here's my scores in order of time I played them 3.33 2.87 2.75 1.70 1.25 1.08 The more I played the more I saw longer queue times, more lag and desync, a bigger influx of psn players from 5000+ miles away, more adept guns, more PvP titles, more instant deaths that didn't make sense, and now it feels like it did before sbmm was brought back. I'm now going back to not playing PvP, even for my pinnacles, not worth it at all. It's not possible to please everyone, infact it's barely possible to please anyone given the restrictions of P2P, awful maps, no incentive, no ranking, awful loot pool To bungie, my fix, as an average older gamer, now I can see both sides of destroying people with ease, then the lag, wait times, n weird BS that comes with playing better players, it's simple. Let people who WANT to play PvP, play PvP and enjoy it, for those who don't, stop forcing them in there for things. Remove sbmm, and add a weekly core quest, play any 9 core activities with a pinnacle drop at 3,6,9 completions. Give quests n catalysts a PvE and PvP option. It's a game, let people play how, and what, they want. Just my feedback
