I'm doing the mountaintop poo poo and rift is so loving terrible solo. Most games were lopsided as hell. Took me hours to get the 5 kills with runner active, and got the last 4 only in the very last game where the other team lost 7000 to 20000

Well at least the next time I have to play it I can just AFK like an rear end in a top hat 4 times if the game starts making me physically ill

Of course there are, but why should they get a nice clean lobby the 3 times a month they pop into the crucible while someone like me who pvps pretty frequently and is halfway decent has to deal with lagged out red bars on the regular?

they should and so should you, the red bar garbage sucks rear end, but I think a lot of the problems are due to the dwindling population rather than the dumb matchmaking. It'll be a bandaid fix when they change it, but if bungie shits the bed again with ROI, it won't go away until destiny 2. These mini content releases won't get tons of new players.

btw I took your advice to heart and its helped out a lot, averaging around 1 k/d, but considering where I was at earlier, I won't complain.

Dwindling player base is not an argument for more sbmm. Its a bigger reason just to put everyone in the same pool and doing it by connections.

eh I'm not arguing for more sbmm, just saying that the mm fixes are just a bandaid and they just plain need more people to play for a better experience.

Yes, SBMM might have helped the christmas kids not getting a load of A Gay Buff Man in the face, but semi regular people who were going to drop off after capping their characters at 309 were going to drop the game after seeing crucible was going to be too "unfriendly" as well. So SBMM, which was going to be a losing proposition, was even worse due to the bad timing.

If Bungie wants to shield noob they should make a playlist with bots, call it Shaxx's Kindergarten and then kick them out to regular crucible once they enter the second match.

So I suck complete poo poo with hammers.
Everytime I pop them I either get no kills because everyone decided to gently caress off, I end up flinging them at someone and expecting it to do some kind of aoe damage for a kill(it doesn't), or I just get killed immediately.
Anyone got tips on how to suck less poo poo with it?

Use it like blade dance or golden gun or any other roaming super. Get to where the red is all close on your radar, pop behind cover come out of cover with a slide or a jump and let fly.

Make sure youre using the perk that gives health on hit and explosions on kill and you should be good to go.

Dont pop it when theres one blip on your radar or when youre out of cover. Get in close with titan skate and then throw from mid range.

Yeah you have to hit them with the hammer. Learn the curves and flight path. It's hard but if you learn it it's an amazing super.

The perk that makes the hammer home in helps a little bit. And they do have a small AOE.

I can link some videos of me using hammers to great effect if you like.

At least defenders have to get a kill before they become invincible, unlike strikers who show up to the fight with stupid damage resistance.

Apparently if you are playing trials during the reset, matchmaking will put you into the following week's map. Exodus Blue was reported early Tuesday morning
