Iron Banana Matchmaking
Is there just nobody playing or are there issues? We are trying to run Iron Banana and the matchmaking is taking AGES, it goes from 5 to 12, we are about to fly out then brings us right back to trying to find guardians. This is crazy.

Iron banner issues... ugh. Got spawned in front of people firing their supers 5 times in a row. The spawn system is absolutely sh#t in this game.

12 RepliesYou're not allowed to play with your friends, didn't anyone in the casual bracket tell you? This is what the solo self entitled swine ordered and Bungie served it. Okay okay my blunt swipe aside. You're going to have faster matchmaking times in freelance because for now Freelance has this wonderful illusion that it makes people good. It doesn't. You're still going to get ran over by the better team / players. TLDR: Don't make an effort to make friends in a multiplayer game. You're not allowed to play together or you get called toxic sweats for being the smarter group.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that singles don't fill in the gaps anymore. That and maybe the new matchmaking parameters are messing things up a little.

I think the problem is that bungie failed to Consider stacks in their algorithm. The game is most likely attempting to split the stack on both teams based on skill, which it’s not supposed to do. The result is that it glitches out completely as a result and kicks the team to orbit from said glitches. The entire stack is sent back to orbit, which will appear as missing players on 1 or both teams when the match starts.

3 RepliesEdited by Eden: 3/26/2021 5:18:44 PMThis seems to be mainly affecting stacks and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get at least a little bit of satisfaction out of that. EDIT: I don't have a problem with people playing together with their friends, I was more referring to the sweats who get together with five other LFG'd sweats to go stomp to inflate their stats and their egos.

Here is a question that I've always wondered... what comprises SBBM? Is it you K/D, your PL, your lifetime kills? What?

This happened to me and my friends. It was fairly random. It happened to us as a 6-stack, 5-stack, and also when I solo queued in the main (non-freelance) playlist. My friends reported experiencing it with a 3-player fireteam. We wasted a TON of time last night trying to get matchmaking working. With limited play time at night, it was really frustrating.
-
same its doing it repeatedly find a game then launches then goes right back to searching again
-
I'm having the same issue, I was in a 6 man team and can never start a game, it goes from 12/12 to 6/12 EVERY TIME.

Edited by an Ape with a d2 addiction: 3/26/2021 8:59:35 AMHad the same thing when was playing banner with a 6-man clan group yesterday. Seems weird since the change they did was to lobby balancing which takes effect after matchmaker forms the lobby, while this issue seems to happen in the matchmaking itself. On another hand freelance was actually playable with the new lobby balancing, gotta for once give bungo credit where it's due. Normally my solo queue 6v6 games often ended up with my team getting shafted by the old lobby balancing by putting all the lowest skill bracket players in the lobby with me on the same team since my bracket's a rather extreme outlier. Which then ends up with our team having an actual 1% chance to win since carrying alone in 6v6 is very hard. That didn't happen yesterday in freelance. The solo queue games were pretty balanced which has been rare so far. Something's definetly broken with the regular banner and how matchmaker handles teams right now though.
-
Currently trying to queue in a 2 stack and getting the same issue. Gets to 12/12 goes black and starts queuing again, I don't know how a change can break matchmaking so much. You'd think you would know the effect it could have before implementing.

Looking at some of the responses... I disagree that the game is going solo. The problem in IB for stacks is so many solo players opting for freelance, which btw is terrible., but causes a padding problem for non-stacked groups. Also keep in mind that some players bail out of a match immediately when they see the competition on the roster - the only way to do that once the lobby starts the match is to kill the game. I'm solo and I play with the stacks, it make take a few minutes due to the new lobby selection/matchmaking but I've been in several matches against 4-6 stacks. I'm terrible in PvP, but I don't complain about the matches themselves, other than it irks me to be in a mercy match so often before I can get a super. I think the problem here is the fast food syndrome, wanting results yesterday, just be patient and grind.
-
Still no reply from bungie after 20+ hours? This literally ruins the game for the long term players.
-
Yep Bungie releases updates but doesn't test them so now we have to deal with bs that won't be fixed till next IB...
-
Having the same issue over and over. Just wanna IB with my clan! :C
-
I was finding a lobby in a reasonable amount of time. But yeah was taking longer than normal. If they made a change it might be for the better? I think I was winning about 50/50 for once.
-
We broke our 6 stack into two teams of three and were able to play. The skill based matching can't compensate for 6 stacks. It just effs the queue until you face another 6 stack. Bungie fix this!
-
Same issue.
-
Same. Can't even get in a game. Constant kick back after 12/12.
-
Same issue
-
Had the same issue with my clanmates about 30 minutes ago. Just looping back to orbit.
-
Has to be issues. It's taking forever. They mentioned in the TWAB some changes that were made. Those changes have to be causing this.
-
it seems if the highest elo player is the party leader u can find a game just fine
-
1 ReplyI noticed this when playing with fireteams, however, solo que wont have this issue. I think it has to do with the recent update that went live today at reset for how Iron Banner Matchmaking works.
