"I'm not owned, I'm not owned!!!" i continue to insist as my PvP playerbase evaporates





pretty soon no one left will be complaining about the game being bad, just complaining about the matchmaking and connection quality

I seriously fail to see how anyone at Bungie could have thought PVP was fine. We went from like 6 different on-demand modes to a random playlist and 1 competitive mode... Trials is poo poo, 4-man IB sucks, and there's no reason to PVP once you hit your weekly powerful. D1 had daily bounties for PVP and a daily playlist with a decent reward. It kept players coming back every day.

It wouldn't be so bad if you could pick supremacy/clash/control, and competitive rotated modes. Disarm the bomb is the worst mode ever.

The consolidated because as D1 aged there weren't enough people playing and queue times+matchmaking quality suffered.

But clearly they over-consolidated this time. Especially when the game is new, it would have hurt no one to make gametype playlists and delete them as the game aged.

4-man doesn't "suck" it's just a different fun. Not as great as D1 but it's not the worst thing in the history of games.

6-man IB control was the most fun poo poo in D1 PVP. Compressing it to 4-man made in inaccessible for my low-skill friends, because I'm not willing to gracefully lose for 10 game stretches just so they can get angry that we keep getting matched against players with much higher skill ceilings.

Nah it sucks. The shootfeel of Destiny ameliorates the pain but 4v4 is a mess.

The best part is they can't just UNDO it. They designed all of these maps for 4v4, so they can just throw 2 more players into it and call it a day. We're committed to this poo poo at this point.

Some of these maps were absolutely designed for 6v6 initially before the decision was made to shrink fireteam size

3 lanes/3 points is NOT a good map design philosophy when there are 4 players per side and 1v2s are near impossible to win, but I'm just a dumbass that posts too much and not a professional game man

4v4 would be less of an issue if cooldowns weren't so long.

I was thinking more along the lines of M:tG. ABGD would be like a 5/4 Red card with an option to tap 2 mana to invoke Curse of The Motherfucker where Target Player has to wing their controller at the wall extra hard

I'd be like a Blue Instant called, "Head Cannon"

YA BOY ETHAN COUCH's card would be a 5/7 Black Artifact Creature Swarm comprised entirely of SWAT-equipped Spaniels with flying and Trample that can only be played when not on probation but has two effects:

1) Im not owned: Tap 1 mana, opponent shrinks into corncob, all creatures tapped or summoning sickness get graveyarded immediately
2) Snacktical reload: Pay an extra 3 mana to repeat the same effect next turn, conditionally munching a Snickers with the :smuggo: expression on

Tap Uberingram: put a 0/1 Thrall creature named "Low ELO Player" on the battlefield under your control.

Sacrifice a Low ELO Player - Uberingram gains +3/+3 until end of turn

If at any time you control 3 Low ELO Players, you win the game.

During your upkeep you must pay (Sniper Ammo) or sacrifice Uberingram

Also, D1 Crucible was infinitely better, but being Destiny they will probably slowly patch things back to "good."
