It works like this: and this is my take on it at least what I found out so far: Competitive does have ranking systematic you can see. But this is just a cosmetic system to keep you motivated: Competitive is complete skillbase: So the game doesn’t take in to consideration what you’re in game rank is. It has a hidden skill rating behind the scene. This skill rating bungie calls sr. This score is invisible to us players but if you want a general idea, I did this made a seconds account played normal crusible the game wil assign you a sr behind the scene then I when to do my comp evaluation matches after losing all my 7 evaluation matches I still got gold 3 the highest ranking in the game. This to me means before my evaluation bungie all ready assigned me the highest pre determined skill rating for my placement. Now how does the point system work. Because every payer does have a hidden sr rating from 0/2000 your match up will be like: Team 1 Player 1: 500 Player 2: 500 Player 3: 1200 Team 2 Player 1: 300 Player2: 300 Player3: 1600 If player 3 on team 2 lose this match he will lose at redicules amount of points close to 200 points because he is expected to beat the lobby. Both team are equal to 2200 points but the game assumed that he will ba able to crry the other 2 300 sr players. Now if player 3 wins the match he will win 5 points because the pre determined score of the game was that he would win his sr is just higher then the other team. Bungie called this competitive sbmm matchmaking. In Vise versa, the players on the other team just beat player 3 on team 2 they will get about 100/170 points per player because the are victory’s in a game where they where expected to lose. This is how to gain points win matches where the game thinks you’re in a disadvantage. A adjustment to this example this is a extreem example of how it works. Just to give a clear example because the game mode has a lot of sbmm in this playlist the numbers are nrml closer to each other. 1000/1500 players will face eachother. The game does take in to considerably kda/score etc. For example if player 3 on team 2 ends up with a lower score( dunks in rift ) kda ( survival ) then one of his 300 teammates he will lose even more points. Hope this helps a little with the score understanding. Think of destiny competitive pvp as Mario cart competitive. And pls don’t take its seriously because it will make you so frustrated and it’s not worth it. Bungie openly admitted that destiny isn’t a competitive game. The playlist is only here to keep some players happy for revenue. Its not here to be that game. Have a great one
