Your PvP matchmaking is embarrassing
It’s not hard imaging why this game and the pvp just can’t keep retention. Who tests and green lights this mess. Every game is over before it even starts.
I seriously just don’t get what is so hard about not mixing up the teams to where it’s one sided.
And then god forbid I win one match and then you split my team up but then go ahead and let me match multiple times with the same people when I lose terribly.
Just a pure mess.

2 RepliesIt is hard to balance teams without strict SBMM in place. Let's assume that Bungie accurately tracks the skill of a player ON AVERAGE. A player's skill is not an absolute - it can vary based on A LOT of factors, including map, loadout, teammates, opponents, state of mind, hardware, internet connection, etc. Player # - "Bungie" Skill - "True" Skill For That Day Player 1 - 1000 - 800 Player 2 - 900 - 900 Player 3 - 800 - 800 Player 4 - 700 - 700 Player 5 - 600 - 600 Player 6 - 500 - 500 If we balance based on Bungie's skill, then we get: Team 1: Players 1, 4, 6 Bungie Average Skill: 733 True Average Skill: 666 Team 2: Players 2, 3, 5 Bungie Average skill: 766 True Average skill: 766 Using this example, we can see that Team balancing varies a lot based on just 1 player playing off their rating. The skill difference tripled with just 1 player playing abnormally. Now think waht happens when you have multiple players playing abnormally.
