i know this has been talked about a lot at this point but i really feel like this is ruining the game for a lot of people. i’m not saying remove sbmm im saying take good care of it, fix it. i am a d1 day 1 player and at this point all i do is trials pvp and raids, grandmasters.i have 50k kills and my kd is awful because i like to just try loadouts and have fun i think its what casual control or pvp modes are for. that said i have trained a lot and i am much better at the game i consider myself to be an okay pvp player with 10 flawlesse and i can compete. however its not fun to get team shot and chased after 5 guys every single corner i turn because i match against sweat lords with 2kd and 150k kills(on steam PC) while i have a 0.86 that i can’t get up because i have too many kills at this point. and at the same time get matched with teamtes that can’t even win a gun fight, just rush mid map get smoked on repeat. they feed all the lives in survival so i dont even bother playing that even tho i think its a cool concept.they make the gap so large in control its unplayable. and if i am AFK or i quit now i am just punished out of the game for that in casual modes. somtimes its a phonecall, sometimes im litteraly answering texts and get booted off casual modes thats wild. so at this point i dont bother waiting really i just get off the game and go do something else.. i can’t even imagine a streamer thats HAS to force himself to play through that. my lobby litteraly felt like a skrim and this is the reason i am complaining at the moment my mind was just blown by how good and coordinated these stomp-skating apes were, not even 6stacked which is even crazier. every gun-fight was for my life honnestly. and while its exciting at first and it forces me to compete at a higher level, it gets exhausting very fast especially with how bad my teamates are. same thing for trials i litteraly could not get a flawless last weekend untill in the solo queue i met a guy that told me i had to BAIT my teamtes so i could be more efficient and secure rounds. that is just wild to me. i am getting very tired of playing this game even tho i like it a lot and i meet players that agree with this sentiment on the daily. please get this to someone that can make this matter.because i think pvp does matter to a lot of people. its where you spend free time with your friends trying out the things you grinded so hard for in pve. i think we could leave trials for the sweat -fest and reward people more so the pool is more diluted.
p.s. i did not go over connectivity issues, missing melee and the fact people still quit anyway because i am nice guy :)

I don't put a lot of stock in anything Bungie says, but as a pvp scrub, I've had more games that I could actually get kills. I don't care about wins or losses, so the leaving matches early thing has zero impact on me. Just being able to play with others that kind of have the same skill level is funner than just dying. I've plateued as a pvp guy, it's the best I'll ever be, and I don't really care to get any better. So just throw me in the pool with likeminded folks and I doubt you'd hear a peep about meta or what's "op".
