Crucible matchmaking seriously needs fixed!!!!

Never in my 12+ years of playing crucible have I had more insanity unbalanced lobbies than now. Like wtf is going on. Iv got a pretty good idea that all the cheaters are coming out of the wood work and the rest is just bungie match making stacking lobbies against me. Mercy after mercy after mercy back to back to back. The craftining was more balanced than these lobbies. Crucible used to actually be playable but CLEARLY it’s not now. And people wonder y so many people back out of games. ITS BECAUSE MATCHMAKING IS ABSOLUTELY RIGGED NO MATTER WHAT GAME MODE YOU PLAY. And before any of you actually braindead bots try and say “just don’t back out” “bungies match making putting u in actuality statistically impossible to win games is just a skill issue” Genuinely stfu nobody asked u and ur clearly not on my lvl of sbmm. Crucible has been a living nightmare the past few weeks and I’m getting really REALLY sick of it. And before another group of actual braindead bots say “if crucible is so bad just play pve” NOOOO PVE IS BORING!!!!!! And again NOBODY ASKED UR OPINION SO STFU!!!!

      Nothing has changed since beyond light. If you are above average you are expected to carry 0.5 raws vs people with a brain. It is tragic that good players pay for the sins of bad players I can tell by emblems alone who will be on the enemy team while flying in. In comp its even worse.

      • Out of the last 96 PvP matches I’ve lost 47 and won 49. I’ve played competitive, trials, control and IB. That’s me going back to June 20th. Now, I might be a couple out, not easy to count on my phone. Last few days it’s been like 12 losses to 10 wins. I’m a bang average PvP player (if not slightly below average). Yes, some matches are hideously one sided (wins and losses) and I have come up against some absolute gods (I play console and have no reason to believe they are cheats) and teams that make me feel like Gernader Jake. It’s all over the place for sure, but there have been many, many very enjoyable matches and some stinkers. I mix my loadouts almost every match - I play Hunter PvP and have all my builds set for PvP (Warlock main for PvE). I just have fun and play with lots of different weapons, etc. I hear streamers complain regularly that matches are “too sweaty”, what they are basically moaning about is that their clickbait thumbnail “best pulse in the game, farm it now” daily videos don’t show them slaughtering hoards of blueberries and that their latest “must have” is actually s***.

        • Atleast it has F'ing Matchmaking unlike most PvE activities. You even get matchmaking in Trials now but we cant even get it for exotic missions or dungeons or even 98% of Fireteam ops missions so stfu moaning.

          • They arent fixing it. This game is dead, you answered your own question when it started with ive been playing this for 12 years. Go find a new game. Believe it or not, there are other games out there.

              If you have been playing that long you should know that you should never make a post after losing. You just come across as a sore loser. Edit, you know what I was too nice after reading the second half of your post again. You know what the common factor in all your crucible matches has been? You, kid.

              • Skill issue tbh “Nobody asked for your opinion” is pretty insane when you posted on a public forum. Almost every match of Iron Banner I’ve played this weekend, I’ve been top 3 on my team and the opposing team has been matching that energy. I’ve yet to have a single match this weekend in Iron Banner that I didn’t genuinely enjoy, and not because it was “easy kills” cause that’s just untrue, but rather because the opposing team was genuinely making me have to be somewhat competitive since people aren’t running everywhere with a shotgun and half a brain cell. People are actually relying on skill (I haven’t seen a single cheater yet, dunno what all that noise was about. I’ve seen people who are just outright better, but not cheaters). I’ve seen your name before, all you do is complain. So, instead of crying on the forum like a clown and pointing fingers at everyone except for yourself, go find a different game. Grow up.

                • This man is arguing with ghosts. Brother, Bungie isn't to blame for you playing bad. You do realize your game history is available to all? If I were you, I'd reconsider being so arrogant. [spoiler]Lol, your ego is ginormous... "Bungie is manipulating matchmaking just for me to lose"... That's wild. Sorry, but I don't think Bungie is manipulating matchmaking, and if they were, they would not do anything special for YOU specifically. Maybe that argument might work for a top player, but not for you. Why would they need to do anything special to make you lose? Lol it is baffling the hoops people jump through to explain away why they are losing while maintaining the fantasy they are a good player. Seriosusly, who cares? Its a video game. It is not serious. [/spoiler]

                  • I wish regular Control had the same matchmaking as IB Control, because for some reason, I'm able to do much better in IB than regular Crucible. In regular Control, I maintain a 1.9 Efficiency, but for some reason, in IB Control, I maintain a 2.5 Efficiency. What gives?

                    • I’ll get like one decent team or one close fun exciting game and the 8-10 trash teams who I swear are bots or I’ll end up against a six stack of players with a 5.7KD. What the FOXTROT UNIFORM CHARLIE KILO.

                        • Ah, the loop of the perpetual "if I'm not stomping something is wrong" PvPer. You got tired of whining about losing to Hunters so now you're complaining about the lobby. Just be truthful at this point, man. You're mad because you aren't allowed to style on thumbless players. It's okay.

                          • Give it six months - the sweats will move on to another game by then... crucible will get easier then... I hate to say this, but It's actually not as bad as I thought. Some matches I can get 23 kills, other matches I can get 7 kills and get blown away. SBMM adjusts, so if you get blown away, the next match is a little easier. That's what I've noticed, anyways.

                            Skeleton crew working on Destiny now after pretty much the whole team got sacked. Bungie has already stated they will fix issues when the can. 😆 In other words, this -blam!- show will continue for some time.
