Skill Over Grimoire or Grimoire Over Skill
OK, so I had this argument with one of my friends friend. He was saying he was better than me in skill. I said, he can't even solo Crota or even a Nightfall! And his grimoire is sh*tty! He replied saying that grimoire doesn't mean anything! I reply as saying yes it does, it matches you up with people around the same grimoire. People with higher grimoire have "more skill" and people with lower grimoire have "less skill". I have higher grimoire than many but most of my friends have more than mine: 3175, the people around there have "high" skill. The grimoire at 3000+ tend to be the best players, the people below 2000 tend to be the worst players. This is just my speculation. But I say Grimoire is over skill. But he says Skill over grimoire. What do you [i]prefer[/i]?

2 RepliesI have never heard or seen people get match via Grimoire. Personal experience was that i mainly get match with people all over, some under 1000, some under 2000, some under 3000, and some over its all over the place. Even in Osiris, its all over the place, I've rarely come across a team consisting of an average of over 3000 (yes i did the math for both their team and my team.) One of my friends which started later than I did by a a good 2-3 months, and his/her grimoire was lower than 2000 (now its around 2500 i think) and they are in all honesty a better destiny player. Skill beats out in some parts for some moments, but having experience also helps out. The more he/she played, the more he/she learned. So probably saying is that grimoire means nothing important, you've just been on a grind for more information, just bragging rights, or even just a big number (cause that is what its all about). having a grimoire near 3500, I don't look at grimoire as a term of skill, but a term of how much effort and time you've been in the game. But as they say, you can't just a book by its cover. You'll never know when you'll be impressed.
