Look no sugarcoating... IB is my favorite mode of all time in this game. I mostly play Fortress now because the influx of new players makes Control almost impossible. IDK what this algorithm does, but as a 2KDA player in IB, I am consistently placed in ULTRALOSS games that literally seem impossible and illogical to construct from a matchmaking perspective. I want to help out new players. But I am also playing my Titan right now, as a Hunter main, and when I play Warlock or Titan I can't always assimilate people into mash. And even outside of that this matchmaking is NUTS. Like 5 out 6 OBVIOUS auto-losses lmao? Yeah, people are backing out. And I am too because when I stayed in my safe space (rear of map lmao) one game to let it pass, I got NOTHING. So back out every time now. And Fortress IS amazing, but it also can suffer from these issue pretty badly, nearly as badly as Control. Fortress rocks though and more people should play.... after understanding the rule set of course. Just a vent thread. IB is a great mode. It's my favorite mode. But like D2 Crucible in general, the matchmaking is bonkers. Why people are acting like this is only IB I have no idea. Trials is easily just as bad.
