Jyelly pretty much nails it. The only things I would add are that the only players who "relax" in straight cbmm playlists are the top 10%. Everyone else sweats twice as hard. I'd also point out to those who don't know, D1 had sbmm from Day 1, it just was weighted much lower in year one and was raised in TTK because of player complaints about hugely mismatched games.

A ton of his points dont mkae much sense 1. He starts off with "you have your choice of cbmm or sbmm", the fact is you pro-sbmm guys literally had this all of forsaken. 4/5 playlists had sbmm yet the one without was somehow an issue huh? If classic mix was where control is currently as it should be as the social mode it would probably be fine. As its hidden in a corner it gets few peoples attention and as a result you match the same players assuming you're willing to wait long enough to find a match. 2. He finds issue with people saying they want more cbmm modes but also saying not to go into classic, no kidding when classic again is hidden so gets low player numbers meaning the only people you match are stacked teams, know what would dilute them? More cbmm modes like 50% of the population want and what should have always been a 50/50 split. 3. He says he expects a casual experience in destiny pvp which does not exist with sbmm unless he throws enough games to get into chill lobbies 4. He mentions having 1 playlist for each side when all but 1 in pvp are sbmm and on top of that they're some of the most apparant and focused on in the directory. Hardly an even split as me and most other cbmm people want. 5. He claims bungie should be commended for the work they've done. Yeahhhh no. Even they admit they did practically zero the entire Y2 and the only changes Y3 got were some playlist changes, solo comp and changes to win streaks and a d1 map. Not exactly what people envision when they hear "renewed focus" 6. Finally he says "we need to move on from this discussion" No. We should have moved on from the discussion the whole last year when most pvp catered to the sbmm crowd but it somehow wasnt enough. Now will continue this discussion until changes to appease our side of the community are made.
