PvP Desperately Needs Skill Based Match Making

Now hear me out, I know this argument will be controversial but, just listen. If crucible and any PvP activity is to survive for long in Destiny they need to attract newer players, here's the problem with that though. New lights and people with little crucible playtime are constantly being matched with entire teams of enemies who only play crucible and only flawless trials and it is seriously killing the game mode. Nobody wants to play a game mode when they go on a 7 game lose streak constantly going against flawless 5000+ hour crucible players who just sweat swamp and stomp out any sort of fun within crucible and matchmaking. And I know, someone's going to say " Well SBMM only benefits the new lights and forces the high end players to play harder" and I say, why is that a problem, Your performance shouldn't rely on getting matched with people who have never played crucible before and swamping them, it will kill crucible and it will kill Trials and the iron banner when stuff like this happens. New lights and lower tier crucible players should not be getting matched with Flawless toxic elitists.

  • I don’t know why people default to skill based matchmaking being an issue in a game where the devs very obviously neglect PvP and when they do update it, it’s to add something that’s completely over-tuned and ruins the gameplay experience for an entire year until they nerf it/ add something else and ruin it again. Or even the fact that it’s a (multi-billion dollar) triple A game studio with seemingly a single laptop running the entire game server so that there’s Atleast one person you match in PvP at 10,000 ping and rubberbanding through walls. The fact new players aren’t enjoying PvP isn’t because of SBMM it’s because it’s not enjoyable to play. Period.
