Having fun? Continual matches mercy called ? I’m at 5 in a row. Bungle has proven again that they can screw up anything - an activity I enjoyed now is pure cancer.
1). SBMM made the games competitive. The match up now are virtually all mercy calls. It’s not fun. It’s frankly repulsive and you WILL lose your casual players if you don’t bring it back.
2). 6x6 in areas designed for 4x4 is approaching mayhem levels of insanity. Allowing heavy early also makes it crazy. You can’t move or do anything without having people all over you, or someone killing you with a super ( often the SAME. One twice)
3) Visibility is a joke now - the “fires” block fields of view in most courses. The new grenade launcher “effects” block vision and of course the bang pop boom now in the game is all about visual interference. Please sir, can we have MORE visual effects to block everything?
4) Weapon “balancing” has had the usual effect - auto rifles are insanely overpowered and snipers remain the cancer of play. Can’t we limit sniper ammunition please ?
5) Courses are repetitive and have one thing in common - all are debris laden nightmares where you are constantly being caught on crap. Why can’t we have a real rotation?
As a side note - as I write this 3 more mercy games. I can’t TELL you how fun it is to be put into a game in progress where the other team have supers and you are continually killed.
6). Who approved this? Someone or the team at Bungle needs to be removed or fired - period. They have grown a cancer and they are the tumor that needs to be removed.
Last IB bounty on 3rd character now. And as the final dick move of the season - I now have to play 4 more “regular” control matches for the pinnacle ( that no doubt will be another useless duplicate from the F U K-u RNG racket Bungle designed too.
Happy days - not.

2 RepliesMy matches have been the exact opposite and I've been running mostly solo basically all week. Feel free to check my recent matches of IB if you are unconvinced, but darn near everyone I know has been loving this IB. The population is undeniably high and I've seen plenty of variety in weapons (more than I can remember in quite some time). I've been killed regularly by hand cannons, sidearms, autos, pulses, shotguns, fusions, snipers, swords, lmgs, grenade launchers and even the occasional scout.

3 RepliesWe just need to implement our own skill based matchmaking. Me quit matches until we're matched with a skilled team. Sure it ruins the fun for the top tier players.... wait that's actually a good thing because they've ruined it for us by whining about SBMM.

2 RepliesIt's absolute crap. I don't even know if the no SBMM is the main culprit. Are connections being accounted for at all? I'm getting such inconsistent game play feel. Some games, people are dying by me well after I've already died, and it shows I killed them with whatever gun. Other games, I'm seeing teammates spawn and right next to them enemies spawn.. i'm talking like 5 feet away. I took a video of one of it. I've seen people shooting through walls. I've shoulder charged straight through people and they've taken no damage, etc etc. Then there are games where everything feels 100% "normal" It feels like IB from when D2 first started. its straight garbage.

5 RepliesI actually looked forward to IB when it came around. This time, got my sidearm kills and AR kills... done! It sucks, I mean it really sucks! Unless you’re running around in a stack tickling your pal’s jellies the whole game. At least add a freelance mode to IB, would help it greatly. But hey, that’s common sense, unfortunately Bungie has none left.

Completely agree. I used to love Crucible - it was my favourite activity but without Skill based matchmaking - it's pure crap. Awful experience. Where are the tight games and the excitement. Now it's just a slaughter for one side or another. I have bought EVERY expansion but I won't be buying the new on unless this is fixed and SBMM is re-introduced.

3 Replies[b]IRON BANNER HAD THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN IB DESTINY 2 HISTORY AT 900,000+ YESTERDAY[/b] Facts are facts. Regular Crucible numbers are also through the roof and have been increasing daily since the switch to cbmm. CBMM is amazing and the numbers do not lie.

just keep pooping in it.

1 ReplyDid my Hunter and warlock.. Was about to fire up the titan and yeah £uck this. After a couple talons, bite of fox, crimils dagger... LoL. Reprised armor. Couldn't do it no more. IB has $ucked @$$ from jump. 😂😂😂

I gave you an upvote for saying that snipers are cancer just because they’re my personal least favourite gun type in every FPS I’ve ever played. Personally and just speaking for myself as a 100% solo queue player with average skill, no SBMM has been an absolute party. So much fun. So much laughter. So enjoyable. For me.

Bungie won't limit sniper ammo since it's special ammo. Getting 2 rounds at the beginning isn't exactly much imo. Plus so many people use special weapons, especially shotguns, that ammo will be dropped consistently. Then when you pick up dropped special bricks from people that die, it gives you one round, unless you use mods so they can't reduce it any more. Weapon balancing will always be an issue in this game. Especially when easy to use 1 hit kill weapons are constantly used, like the most popular shotguns, snipers, etc. On the topic of autos, I can't really say for certain they are or are not overpowered since the community is divided on that one, and I'm trying to think outside of my personal feelings. The argument of hating hand cannons/shotguns being the only thing used is a genuine concern and is understandable, since they still are viable now. They just can't be used like they used to. But at the same time the majority of ppl are gonna use what's most viable regardless, especially if the skill ceiling is lower. Now the mercy thing is getting old. I've had too many. It'll fluctuate from me being on a team that stomps the other, to my team getting a mercy....It sucks. I can't improve any like this since games never last long enough for me to figure out what I'm doing wrong to get better, or they are way too easy. Team balancing I think is the problem since actual skill isn't involved... It was bad before, but now since the skill pool is even larger it results in what we have today since the same balancing mechanic applies.

9 RepliesIn my Opinion we should Boycott all 6v6 playlist including Iron banner. If you want your pinnacle play elimination or comp they are SBMM. If enough of us quit playing, Bungie will take notice, and maybe make a change. What we need is a choice of either SBMM or CBMM. If you want SBMM back boycott crucible. Tell your friends to spead the word.

I’m doing ok and solo. Am I good now?

2 RepliesIB is some hot garbage right now. I just had 3 mercy in a row. If pinnacle wasnt tied to it I wouldn't even touch it.
-
Completely agree, just completed the bounties after about 75% mercy calls. One match was 8 to 87....oh yes that's just fun for everyone. The crappy code, POS algorithm for matchmaking seems to ensure high level teams never face each other. Im sure this will get plenty responses about this type of cheating, yes its cheating, its game manipulation which is cheating.
-
So many good points there, that I was feeling myself. IB is now severely broken for middle and lower skilled players, it is an abomination compared to how it could be It cannot all be CBMM though - the team balancing is not working at all, hence so many Mercies. I'm a compulsive zone capper, but on bad teams so many team mates just don't bother or give up as soon as the opponents go into an early lead
-
5 RepliesI don't know what it is but my games are either a blowout against the other team, or Saladin calls it before I can land 4 kills and we lose. I recommend being 1070+
-
I couldn’t agree more. Bungie has totally screwed this up! It is no fun unless you’re a high end pvp player. Bring back SBMM!
-
I have two issues. RNG determining if I get the armor set or not, and “The Rout” bounty. Other than that, I don’t really give a shit.
-
Truth. Once I finish the bounties I have no desire to back into IB this week

5 RepliesCBMM isn’t the issue. Team balancing is. You can’t tell me that if the teams were evenly balanced that you would always get a mercy outcome.

It is the same in terms of mercy. However without SBMM you have much more chances if getting potato teammates and to negate that it is better to make a fireteam. I am lucky to have a few clanmates/friends and playing IB with them makes it bearable. But i wouldn’t play solo with CBMM.
