Iron Banner needs to be less frustrating

Okay.....here it goes So after going through a painfull week I was able to finally reach rank 5 on 1 of my character. For me that is enough because the problems IB has I don't wanna go through it again. Below is a list:- 1) [b]Matchmaking:-[/b] Why is it that people who are going in IB solo almost always come up against a fireteam of 4 or 6. This has happened to me almost every alternate match. It is very frustrating because that team will have good communication and well randoms don't talk to each other that much. Match making should be based on your fireteam. If you are going in solo you will be in a lobby where there others who came in solo like you or max a fire team of 2. If people are running in fireteam of 4+ they need to be matched against a same group so that it at least is a even match. I am now seeing too many IB matches end by Mercy Rule. Another issue is getting put in a match which is already a lost cause. Few times I've been put into a match where the match ended right when I spawned in and saw that we lost!!! [b]Also breaking up teams to find a better match should not end up with being matched against the same team!![/b] 2) [b]Win/Loss:-[/b] Let's face it the Iron medallion hasn't fixed anything . With a max limit of 5 there is no point in continuing staying in a loosing match. There are still people quitting matches which are a lost cause because well there is still no incentive to continue. 3) [b]Drops:-[/b] It was mentioned that end of match rewards would be the main source of IB drops but let's face it that is not the case. IB related drops right now is like waiting for the boots to drop in VOG.....almost never gonna happen. This needs to change. 4) [b]What IB should be:-[/b] For very few it's fun and for almost everyone it is the most frustrating and infuriating thing ever. Owing to reason like 5+ back to back losses, lag, poor drops, poor match making. Even though it's a competitive mode it does not need to be a frustrating experience. Teams who win progress but the teams who loose get stuck there till they find a win. Yesterday I had a guy T-Bag me when I lost and in the stats I was the best player on my team with good kills and captures that pissed me off so I got all salty and told him that don't t-bag and he replied that he din't mean to do it but IB is just frustrating and he was letting off steam. This should not be the case. These are the core issues I came across. Let me know if you have anything else to add

  • Hello, this is how I reached rank 5 on all 3 by Saturday: 1. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I played only with my main and reached rank 3 by turning in 9 daily bounties. I had my three weekly bounties completes but I saved them. 2. Wednesday and Thursday I picked up all IB bounties for my second and third characters even though I didn't play them. I would have picked up Tuesdays but I didn't get the idea till Wednesday -.- 3. On Friday I played my second and third characters until I completed their daily bounties. Each character had 6 daily bounties, with the temper buff and character buff I reached rank 3 by turning in daily bounties only. 4. On Saturday, I did the daily bounties on all three characters, turned in those dailies and turned in the weeklies. The weeklies were worth 1100+ish each on Saturday, so it was enough to reach rank 5. Tl;Dr: reach rank 3 by Friday and don't turn in your weeklies until at least Saturday.

    I lost 28 games in a row. 6 hours of playing to move 2 points. -blam!- you Bungie. Every match I was put in against a team. Mostly the same team of 6 hunters running around with shotguns. We are breaking up this team. Yea right Bungie. And I finally get to rank 5 and I never dropped a thing. No boots no weapons. Nothing nada zilch -blam!- all. This player will never play IB again.

  • I agree man, I am so frustrated with this Iron Banner. I used to enjoy it, now it's just a pain in the arse. I have wondered the exact same thing about matchmaking. I'm solo and I get put against full fireteams of 6? Seriously? Very frustrating in the least. So don't worry man, I hear you. :)

    • IB highlights everything that is wrong with PvP in destiny. I find the whole experence a frustrating to the point of being painful experence. The only thing that makes normal PvP even worse is by makeing exotic quests bring people that don't like, or would never even be in there if it wasn't because of those quests. PvP would be far more interesting if it didn't give "free kills" to those that live for PvP. If it was just skilled players vs skilled players, or team vs team it would far less frustrating.

    • 1) Skill Based Match Making needs to go and Connection/Region based needs to be the priority. It's bad enough Destiny is looking for people to give me a rough time but those people are also lagging and for some reason getting an advantage out of it. As for teams vs teams, I understand where you're coming from but as a guy who organises a team myself I do love the occasional match against full randoms. 2) I don't really have a problem with the medallions. Again coming from a guy who teams up. I can see how it would be bad going solo. 3) Drops were absolutely atrocious this time around. Three rank 5's and all I got was a pair of boots. Everything else I was forced to be buy from Saladin. Absolutely needs to be buffed.

    • IB matchmaking logic, a group of randoms dominate another group of randoms, splits everybody up. A team dominates a group of randoms, keeps putting you up against the same team.

    • This is by far the worst one I've run. I doubt I'll do another.

    • My only problem with it is the connections, shotguns, and being put into losing matches
