This was one of the larger reasons why there was a large population fall off. And when Bungie started leaning the game towards “hardcore” oops we shut sbmm off......great players curb stomping average players loved it and defended.....why because it was easy for them. Easy equals fun. Average? Frustrated and disgusted. Came to the forums and got told to get good....etc etc etc.....and here is what’s left today the top 5% most of which are at 2000+ glory. Now left with almost nothing left but good players and oh hey it’s not so fun anymore.....the vast majority of average players average meaning 1 k/d or less and yes that is in fact average amongst all fps shooters are loooong gone. I haven’t stepped foot even once because of the setup for comp. But who cares right? I should go get good right? I decided I am as good as I am going to get. And I am ok with that. And until this game tips the balance to be at least balanced between the good and great players I won’t be back.
