Gambit is a horrible, awful shitshow right now. I got on today and played some for the first time in a couple of weeks, and it's honestly disgusting. I've been working on my Malfeasence quest, so I've played about 10 games so far, and let me break down the problems I see, and why I believe it should be put on hold until it can be seriously fixed. I should state that I do LIKE the gamemode, I just feel that's it become way too difficult and no longer fun.
1. The ungodly amount of Glitches, Exploits, Cheating, and Bots prevalent right now. I play on Xbox One, and at least every 2 or 3 games my team has a bot or two on it. Even besides that, with the Synthoceps glitch I see people killing the Primeval in literally one shot. There's also an absurd amount of games where the enemy team will have 40+ motes after killing only the first wave of enemies, most rounds last less than 2 minutes. I don't what the -blam!- Bungie thought would happen when you leave the cheaters to play unopposed for 2 weeks, but it's made the gamemode completely unenjoyable.
2. Linear Fusion Rifles. I've made posts on this before, but it's disgusting how easy it is for people to get 2 or more kills within A SECOND of invading. Queenbreaker and Crooked Fang being the top offenders right now, I literally watched an Invader snap 4 perfect headshots before even 2 seconds had passed. There needs to be partitions to keep from cross-mapping or something, because it's basically impossible to fight against.
3. Invaders. I've seen some posts calling for the complete removal of PvP, and I strongly disagree. I think that's what makes Gambit special. At the same time, it's absolutely ridiculous that they spawn in at perfect Linear Fusion range, while being untouchable by anything short of another Linear Fusion or Sniper, as well as having Overshields, AND being able to see exactly where the enemies are. Something's gotta go, especially now that I'm seeing them spawn on the same side as the wave of enemies, or even right on top of teammates.
4. Matchmaking. While Matchmaking in general is horrible right now, in Gambit it's worst of all. I haven't had a single game today where I wasn't facing off against a 4 stack, but even more detrimental than that is the skill based matchmaking working for enemies, but not teammates. I get paired with potatoes who dunk/kill less than 20 per game, while I'm sitting at upwards of 70 most of the time. Not to mention that when players leave, the wait time to replace them lasts longer than most games, so you're basically guaranteed to lose. I'm so sick of getting paired with bots and idiots, would love it if I could go more than one game without running into 2 dudes who sit at the bank and stare at the ground until the Primeval spawns.
