This supposed "loose SBMM" is nowhere near in effect. I'm still getting matched with and against a broad range of skill and k/d ratings from having a 0.8 player on my team at the same time as a 2.4 player and I'm smack in the middle with 1.5. In every match where the top player on my team is a 2.0+ player, we get absolutely crushed and I'm against players I either have no business facing off against or that are outright cheating. This is leading to me quitting out of more matches recently than I ever have in my entire time playing Destiny. Something is not working and I'm more frequently matching with and against much higher skill players than I ever was before this implementation. I've never been much better than a 1.4-1.6 player so whatever skill it thinks I have that it's bringing into account is absolutely wrong. Just my 2c.
EDIT - People keep assuming I'm talking about IB because it happens to be going on this week. I am absolutely NOT referring to IB and only referring to the basic control mode (not momentum control either).

1 ReplyMaybe you kd is not actual kd that's why you matching folks as per your kd.... that's what happening to kd farmers in general they have started to realize they are piece if -blam!- and need to get better at the game once solo queue starts in control it will also become much better ground no more team shootings....

Maybe you just gotta get better?

If it's anything like the last time SBMM was around, what we used to do is have the lowest ELO member of our team, or the worst k/d, and make them fireteam lead, and we'd always get matched with people of his/her level. At the time, it was me, and my teammates would just wreck shop with their 1.8-2.5 k/d consistent.

I can understand you feel like it’s not working for you. I would suggest people who feel the same way, keep in mind that this is the first season with loose sbmm in Control. We still have just under 3 months to go (89 days) for this season. Bungie also said they were going to tweak the match making as they try loose sbmm. I believe over the next few seasons. Not everything is going to be an instant fix. Having patience might be helpful. Just because it’s not perfect right out of the gate, doesn’t mean it won’t be better later.

Understand your struggle but the low k/d pinnacle farmers will always win in this situation of sbmm. Literally the answer for these pinnacle farmers that they should’ve said was to rework the comp system and push the hardcore pvp player base to that. Such as ranked 3v3, ranked 6v6, ranked rumble, etc. But no they think sbmm is the answer to everything.

4 RepliesEdited by A_mo: 9/9/2022 2:46:15 PMI have a hard time believing that if the game actually worked the way people think it works that it would really be any worse. People would just have to be encouraged to be satisfied with how well they do. Crazy concept, I know. But the gameplay would always be good. If you can't be satisfied by good gameplay and you're still playing PvP then there's a good chance you'll never be satisfied.

5 RepliesIf you keep leaving matches that is why. You need to stay in or it will have to start all over again to sort.

2 RepliesMuch loosened the “loose sbmm” in earlier this week. Only control has this, ib and the rotator is still connection based.

10 RepliesI'm enjoying sbmm now. I don't have to play people my skill level. I dont have to 6 stack because my teammates are just as bad as my opponents and no longer getting farmed by 1.2+kds.

Yea, I have the same issue. It's doing ALMOST diddly-squat, the skill ranges in the matches are still just insane. I will say that have been less mercies, but most matches are still just completely un-winnable for one team.
