That's me. I'm unskilled. I toughed it out last weekend because the loot was raining from skies (and still is), and I got the rolls I wanted. I said consistently to my clan that what was needed was Freelance mode. When they announced the changes this week I thought it sounded very smart, but I also predicted it would have the effect that it has; an effect that I realize benefits me greatly. Last weekend was miserable for me, but this weekend has been a great time. A really great time. I'm going to play some more today.
As I said though, I have the rolls I want, yet I'm still playing, because its fun, and I am improving. In fact, because the skill gap isn't as wide, I'm improving much more than last weekend (you don't learn calc unless you've had trig and algebra first). Nonetheless, if they remove the flawless queue, I'm out. I've got the loot, and last weekend was tortuous. And here's the thing the flawless folks need to realize. The reason more people went flawless is because the game was flooded with people like me. It wasn't because more skilled players showed up. It was that more unskilled players came to play, allowing people previously locked out to get to the Lighthouse. If we leave, and we will, then flawless queue or not the game will be back to season 14 and right quick. I don't pretend to know how to square this circle. You can't have last weekend without a monsoon of casuals, but if we leave, its right back to sweat-city, and we won't stick around just to be target practice for the skilled player base.
In any case, if anyone from Bungie is listening, I had a great time this week. I hope you keep this queue, or something like it. So do all the players who took constant beatings last weekend.

13 RepliesI don’t get it… I had more fun last week than this week. I made it to 6 wins last week and it was a grind but this week on two characters I’m getting stomped every match. I played for 2 hours last night and managed 1 win?! I get it #getgud and practice but man it does get tiring getting stomped for a couple hours
