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.

Maybe for like the bottom 500 players in the world because crucible just saw a massive spike in pvp this past week. Don’t you think maybe its possibly just you not enjoying the game? Just because a few of you don’t enjoy it doesn’t mean everyone else hates it too. Its clear cbmm is far better and its way more fun to face players of different levels, some are even improving because of it. Terrible players cant improve by playing against other terrible players, a terrible player however can learn so much in just a few games simply watching better players like the weapons they use, the way they play the game, the way they position themselves etc. anyone refusing to accept that fact is just a salty and delusional player that hates better players.
