You're correct, when you're in a stack it's manageable. However, in a duo or even a trio, playing a full stack sucks. You are almost [i]guaranteed[/i] to get steamrolled. We had a game where my 3-stack were the only people to even get kills. All 3 of the randos had a 0.00 Eff, if you can believe it. I'm not joking. Here it is. https://www.bungie.net/en/PGCR/10910598593?character=2305843009271669714 The mode (aside from the massive amount of bugs) is okay, but it fundamentally doesn't work right with how busted the matchmaking system in D2 is. The got rid of SBMM because the streamers whined, which left the other 99% of the player base out to dry. *If they added in mode rotation (control, rift, skirmish, elim, etc.) to IB, I don't think people would have hated it so much. It's being force-fed a single mode that often isn't fun, the whole time. You may not like eating your veggies, but it's more bearable if you're able to have some steak on the side.

  • The reason Bungie removed SBMM was not only the streamers. They also removed it because matchmaking on Stadia was taking 1 hour. Bungie saw the potential of additional revenue and realized retaining SBMM would mean losing the Stadia players. As it turned out, Stadia is a failure.

  • The end result is the same. Bungie chose potential profit over a good product.
