of course they're 'protecting' them from you, you're much loving better than they are. what do you expect bungie to do? put 44 percent win rate players against orchestrated six stacks? the lag is garbage but what the gently caress it's not like playing against these kindergarten scrubs is somehow better?

90% of people who play are trash. So they will still find trash players to play against 90% of the time. As for the 10% of the time they get crushed? Stiff poo poo

The answer is not punishing users for being good.

If you went solely connection you wouldn't be matched with just scrubs. You'd get matched with all skill levels and the game would work as intended.

Opporunity to play the game in its best version should be universal. You shouldnt be locked out of playing against non laggy players because they're not on your level.

Anything is better than the poo poo stain lobbies full of loving red bars. If it takes a new account and making GBS threads on people that refuse to get better than so be it. It's an alien concept to me that bungie thinks it's okay for bullets I shoot to not connect while I take an rear end full of buckshot from across the map.

Why you can't figure this out is the biggest travesty tbh

If you started from day 1, bought the season pass, and TTK when it launched you've put in $130+ for this game (more in other countries). You shouldn't have to put up with red bars.

Yeah that's really it. I've had 3 deaths in 20ish matches where I've gone 'oh gently caress that". It's worth it for the connections alone.

Add to this that after 10 or so matches you start getting dudes who rock flawless emblems and obviously care about their pvp builds because they are running decent stat splits....and you get to poo poo all over them with a green hand cannon, well that's icing on the cake.



After I start getting poo poo connections I have no problem starting over and using a slightly different green hand cannon to do the same.

As was just said right above me, I paid the same amount of money for this game as the folks who get to experience relatively lag and disruption free pvp matches because they aren't as good. That's bullshit and they can take the 1/15 matches where someone like me comes in and drops a 5.0+ on em, just like I do when I get hosed up by stacked squads. Maybe they'll learn to not round corners with their head up or how to slide shotgun in the process, just like I learn new angles on lanes and escape/bait routes when i ay against better players.

Game 1: A control match against a 6 man with MIDA, UR, PC. So the usual poo poo. They were also all over the board with their connections. Just barely managed to scrape past with a win.
Gonna call that a loss on the scale of how different things are for someone of my skill level, that level being slightly below average sometimes.

Game 2: Another control match. Nothing spectacular. No one on either team too lovely, but no real superstars.

Game 3: Booted up Rift because gently caress my life. As expected, my team happened to be full of braindead fucks. No one wanted to leave the spawn and attempt to grab the spark, one guy maining a sidearm. Other team consisted of PC using titans and radiance warlocks with TLW.

Game 4: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/PanicSlam666/video/19694363
That's all I have to say about that game.

Game 5: Finally landed a clash match on asylum. Nobody on my team understood that when I slap 2 dudes off heavy with a super, that means to follow through. Redbar on my team, but nothing near superstar status.

The only reason its possible is because bungie puts all the scrubs into the kiddie pool and making smurf accounts just gives you access to the pool.

If the matches were pure CBMM then this wouldn't be possible.

Bungie press release: "Even after two years, Destiny continues to attract more and more new players. Many of them only play Crucible after using the Spark of Light right after the tutorial level, have some kind of clever 'SBMM' joke in their gamertag, and stop playing around level 27 or so, but they're definitely new players."

This was their plan all along :tinfoil:

I really struggled with this map and dislike it for 6's as well. I will say that that tripmines in the party room easily got me more kills than sniping or primary by far. How people do not see those things even at high level play is baffling to me.

poo poo players against poo poo players will never improve, but if you mix it up others will. It's not about pub stomping (that's a bonus) it's about bullets actually connecting because I'm not playing someone in Australia, Brazil, Russian with an internet connection that is powered by a crippled hamster on a rusty wheel.

It doesn't seem that difficult to but connection as priority and keep some level of scrub protection in play, but what they are doing isn't working when I'm shooting green bars that are teleporting across the map or not taking damage like this jackass that tanked a golden gun shot.

No, that's pretty much it. The game is vastly improved from launch in terms of the guidance it gives you for finding newly unlocked activities. For endgame stuff if you're on PS4 you can find teams in a thread in private game servers and if you're on xbox there's a google spreadsheet in a treehouse somewhere.
