An argument for SBMM

I'm not a particularly skilled player when it comes to Crucible. Do you know how I can get better? By playing against others that are as good as, or better than, I am. Pub-stomping doesn't improve anyone's skill set. Being challenged, does. And quit using lag as an excuse to complain about SBMM. Use lag as a reason to demand dedicated servers.

    I quit destiny because of SBMM. It's no longer fun being matched up with the best all the time. I'm in the top 1% and I got there by having fun and playing with friends who have half of my avg kd. Can't do that anymore as I get to play against the best, in full fireteams, playing extreme teamwork and tactics like teamshooting etc. Not to mention a lot of these pro players using advantageous controllers, scuf, venom x, some even using mouse and keyboard... It's no fun anymore. To even have a chance I can't go in solo in skirmish and enjoy myself. I need to bring a sweaty team of pros to win matches now. It's not even possible to try new weapons and listen to music and being relaxed. Can't depend on my own skill anymore. It's all about the collective team's skill and strategy. People who aren't in the top percentage might not experience this. On the contrary, they might actually have it more easier as they are not playing us top players anymore to some extent. SBMM plus the fact that this game lags even more now than it ever did before, and before was really bad, is enough reason for me to put destiny on the shelf and enjoy other games for the time being. I'll come back when Bungie adds ranked and unranked playlists, when they fix the damage referee to actually kick yellow and redbars instead of letting them dominate (is it hard to check a players connection before you decide to let them play against me?), when Bungie decides to make the pvp experience a fun experience. Not to mention firebolts and broken blink strike... Being thrown in matches that are over, about to be over (I literally got thrown into a game where the enemy team had heavy, 5 seconds left of the game and it got mercied as soon as I landed.. Geezus..). Or playing solo in the crucible and getting matchmade with full fireteams of sweaty ass players. As of now Bungie is a joke of a company to me. Fix your shit, Bungie. Until then, adios.
