State of the Crucible (not good)
Removing SBBM is one of the absolute dumbest things I've ever heard of. Among the reasons listed is, "Provide more places where the outcome of the match isn't as important as enjoying the experience."
Let's talk about that one. First, answer this question: how many people enjoy losing? How many people enjoy getting sweated out of a match by 2 people who just crush everyone else in the match? How many people enjoy turning a corner and dying immediately 10 times in a row? 20 times? Every 15 seconds for an entire crucible match?
This is the experience of the bottom half of Destiny players. So, here's what's going to happen. Everyone who's already pissed off at the Crucible will stop playing, leaving only the sweaty top ranked players. Game over, Crucible. Nobody, and the Crowd means nobody, wants to play in an environment where they are constantly getting rocked. And since removing SBBM, that's what's happened in the Crucible.
Want to fix the Crucible? Same problems as the rest of Destiny -- speed it up, get rid of auto-assisted aim (which doesn't help, but only yanks your aim way off), and put people together who genuinely stand a chance at doing a decent job. It's really very simple. After that, it's an "incentives" question, but that's for a different topic.

7 RepliesFunny thing is according to Destiny Tracker, your stats are in the top 30% or better compared to the rest of the players. The fact that you're doing so much worse now goes to show how much you were pampered by the SBMM. You did relatively well without getting any good at pvp. I feel that CBMM is a more honest system. PVP is not supposed to be all inclusive, you're supposed to do better if you're good, and worse if you're not. If you want to face only the players of your skill level, you have Survival still offering SBMM. This is exactly the same as it was for good players in the past, every single match was a sweatfest unless they played classic mix, which was the only CBMM playlist. At least with CBMM overall connection quality is far better than it ever was with SBMM. In the past a good player not only had to sit through long que times, and have to face nothing but top players, but they also had to deal with terrible connections because the only players of their level were scattered around the world. Now you're connecting to players close to you majority of the time (fireteams break the system, as they did with SBMM), so there's less of an impact from conneciton quality.
