PvP Desperately Needs Skill Based Match Making
Now hear me out, I know this argument will be controversial but, just listen. If crucible and any PvP activity is to survive for long in Destiny they need to attract newer players, here's the problem with that though. New lights and people with little crucible playtime are constantly being matched with entire teams of enemies who only play crucible and only flawless trials and it is seriously killing the game mode. Nobody wants to play a game mode when they go on a 7 game lose streak constantly going against flawless 5000+ hour crucible players who just sweat swamp and stomp out any sort of fun within crucible and matchmaking. And I know, someone's going to say " Well SBMM only benefits the new lights and forces the high end players to play harder" and I say, why is that a problem, Your performance shouldn't rely on getting matched with people who have never played crucible before and swamping them, it will kill crucible and it will kill Trials and the iron banner when stuff like this happens. New lights and lower tier crucible players should not be getting matched with Flawless toxic elitists.

I believe those that pretend to disagree want to continue to enjoy beating inferior completion to boost their own enjoyment and stats but deep down they know it’s not how it show be structured. Think about it...almost all competitive activities have SBMM. High School sports do not compete against college athletes. In fact, some High Schools and Colleges don’t even compete against other High Schools and Colleges that are rated significantly lower. Sure, some FBS teams play slaughter games against FCS schools but they never play Division II or III schools because the match making just doesn’t make sense to put two competitors that are that far away in skill in a competitive game. Gym rec leagues don’t play against pro teams, in competition you just don’t stage a competition where the skill level is naturally so far apart. Now Bungie might not be able to figure out how to do it well, there may not be a way without sacrificing something else, connection issues or que delay might make it too hard to implement. Regardless of the obstacles that may prevent it, the reality of truth is that SBMM is the standard measure for almost all completions everywhere. So whether we agree or disagree, whether it can be done or not...the fact remains...SBMM is the way it should be, like almost all competitive activities almost everywhere in the world.
