No

i -blam!- hate crucible and before you go "get good scrub" shut the absolute -blam!- up, not everyone is capable of being "good" at pvp and again before you go "well don't play the playlist" I like pvp in some games this is one of them i loved pvp in D1 but with no skill based matching I'm always matched against players who can fill 20 buckets of sweat. despite the control and other playlist being called "casual" and "non-competitive" there sure is alot of competitive players in it. bungie can you at least explain why skill based matching was removed cause it REALLY sours the crucible experience for those who are not as adept

  • Quite simply… it was removed because the sweats didn’t like sweating against other sweats… as someone had to take a loss and their tiny little “egos “ couldn’t handle it. And because they only seem to run in stacked teams it’s much more “fun” and “shows how skilled they are” to team dump on lower kd players to prove their “ godliness” to each other.😂😂😂 In other words it’s a “very small” measuring competition…

    • Most of you don’t understand how miserable it was for the above average to 1%. I quit during SBMM because my que times were insane, matches were 10x more laggy than they are now, cheaters frequently, and my lesser skilled friends didn’t want to play with me because of my lobbies. I wish we had true CBMM and not this lobby balance -blam!-. True CBMM is technically the most fair because it just grabs a bunch of randoms and throws them on team. The match is a complete coin flip for how it will go. Also, if you truly care about getting better, facing better players will improve you much quicker. It’s what I’ve done in any game I wanted to get better in

    • Quickplay kinda makes sense to have more focus on just kinda free ball matchmaking since quickplay in any game is always just kinda in and out sorts of games. Anything that’s intended to be competitive needs to have SBMM to actually [b]be[/b] competitive though. IB, Trials, comp, whatever. Completely obliterating a team of top 25% players when you’re top 500/top 1% isn’t a competition.

        • DMG explained on Twitter in a salty rant at a streamer who was complaining about lobby balancing. Basically said lobby balancing is a form of sbmm, and YOU didn't want sbmm in the game. Suggesting it was removed to stop streamers complaining about it
