Got my 3000th win in PvP. Feels good man.



About 20 of those losses were just black screens, network issues and other such bungie fuckery.

...and you're the one saying skill-based matchmaking shouldn't exist, because you might get laggy opponents, or have to wait a minute or two between matches. Oh the humanity. :allears:

If i ever get tempted to play solo i just play a game that is a fun experience as a solo player.

Nah, I just enjoy trolling CheeseFactory in particular, since he's such a ~*~MLG PRO NO NIGHTSTALKERS THEY RUIN MY K/D, FINAL DESTINATION ONLY NO ITEMS~*~ type player.

It's loving destiny, it's made for loving around, having fun, then doing the sweeping emote over your opponent's corpse.

Plus, how can you troll someone over ~laggy opponents~?

Even a little lag is the quickest way to suck any and all fun out of a shooter. I'll gladly take matchmaking that favors connections over skills matching, even if I get matched against some headshot savant now and then.

a 4-stack in an isolated corner of the world that has like a 98 percent win rate isn't 'headshot savants', they're a statistical anomaly that's literally not worth considering in your design goals.

like do 1200 elo shitlords really think matchmaking even affects them? it doesn't matter if it matches you based on connection, skill, or number of consonants in your name. you'll get matches close to your skill with good connections. it's not until the pool gets sufficiently shallowed that the 'skill vs connection' scale actually becomes a dichotomy.

yeah, in general the whole "gently caress skill-based matchmaking, they know what they're signing up for :colbert:" attitude blows my mind. that's, uh, exactly why people get turned off and just stop playing.

Like God of War (so good)

Or

Punching Myself In The Dick (not great but still better than solo PvP)

CheeseFactory posted:

There just isnt that many 4 man teams and a lot more solo/duo players.

CheeseFactory posted:

Just played 15 or so games of trials.

Played the same 3 teams for 14 of them.

:stare:

CheeseFactory posted:

But yeah QP is more fun when thw other team actually stays

CheeseFactory posted:

Winning is fun

And for old time's sake:

CheeseFactory posted:

Nightstalkers are just better right now.

CheeseFactory posted:

Night stalkers really need to gently caress off. poo poo is cancer

You can kill invis guys pretty wasy now, as long as you can spot them.

So Bungie is planning to officially release Music of the Spheres, Marty O'Donnell's musical companion to Destiny (excerpts from it are used as part of the D1 soundtrack). It is excellent and you should get your hands on it when it becomes available.

Almost all trials matches were against 4 nightstalkers. You can't tell me that was good balance or fun?

But as you can see, didn't stop me from winning :smug:

I would rather get my rear end kicked because my opponent has more skill than because they have a terrible connection. It can suck getting stomped but at least it's an opportunity to learn and improve, whereas SBMM putting you up against laggy players teleporting around the map is just frustrating. Connection quality should be the only factor that determines how players are matched. A return to 3's & 6's would be nice as well but hey.
