Address Unbalanced Teams in PvP
Just do it. It doesn't need explained. The stats of your game's matches and players will do all of the explaining.
-
Id be surprised if they have more than 2 people working on pvp at this point.

1 ReplyBalanced matches are difficult to find in ANY pvp game. I'd rather have fair equitable matches with CBMM.
-
1 ReplyThey need to turn the stupid SBMM and lobby balancing completely off is what they need to do. Bungie has proven time and again every time they've moved away from straight connection based matchmaking that they without fail create lagging lopsided one way matches the majority of the time.

1 ReplyI believe at this point it’s always gonna be bad. I’de consider anything working a miracle in these times, haha.

6 RepliesI played a balanced match this weekend and it was actually fun. Glad I got to see what PvP could be if a little effort was out into it.
-
just when I feel like I’m starting to do good(which is rare), after a small winning streak, I end up getting matched against teams of sweats. All the time. Where suddenly someone else’s MIDA, or outbreak is suddenly better than mine(same perks and all). I don’t understand it…..but I’m there for the loot anyway, so it is what it is.

11 Repliesit's forcing a 50% w/l in the weirdest way possible. if you win a match, you have to lose one for every win, so it'll either give you people that the game knows will be inactive or leave. if you're still doing good, you'll be put in a losing match with 10 seconds left, to make sure you lose.
-
1 ReplyYep, get mercied, or matchmake for 10 minutes to lose by one, it's disgusting.
-
I have been asking the same for years. PvP is the most neglected part of this game. Word of advice. Don’t expect anything and when something does come through don’t get too excited. Many of us in the PvP community know this far too well.
-
Yeah the matchmaking is so bad. I end with more bad teams than good or I find a game in progress with the other team getting utterly wrecked.
-
3 RepliesPVP feels really hit or miss… at least in Iron Banner, sometimes you stomp other players and sometimes you’re the one getting stomped. It’s really odd, idk how it is any other game mode.
-
1 ReplyThey have no intention of fixing PVP or the game in general. They only care about milking money from players. At this stage people play the game because they like the gun play or have addiction problems. I have played for 11 years and I have no hope for the game to get better with greedy leadership.
-
Even then going 6 stacks vs solo players it's wrong and Bungie won't do nothing about it because they are lazy They figure if they ruin this game more people will jump on board with marathon
-
That and address the cheaters also
-
1 ReplyI to some degree concur with your premise but good luck with your endeavour. Ever since the cross platform rollout all pvp has gone to shite. So buy a computer.! Also you can’t fix stupid. Way too many of you think you’re killers but you can’t even follow the simple rule of watch your map.
-
6 RepliesPlayed IB. Loved getting a match where my team couldn’t kill a single opponent and we are behind 0-40. Then it seems a switch is hit and we are finally able to kill opponents and it’s 25-60. A few more minutes it’s 85-90. Game ends with us winning 152-130. Im willing to bet the other team thought they couldn’t hit us the last few mins. Like some weird yo-yo lag.
-
too many device users and mouse & keyboards there
-
Playerbase is just too low to find balanced matches. Expect to have garbage matches more often than not
