5 Iron Banner matches in a roll my team got mercy'ed. freaking why people even play with under 1030 light is beyhone me... I had one game where there were a 780 and a 920. why do you play if you can't kill anyone FFS... and nobody seem to care about Heavy ammo on my team. how hard is it to just look at the freaking purple icon from time to time to see when it's gona spawn and go get it? and so many people just seem to not have any awareness at all. point being cap, where other team might be moving towards, people next to you just died etc.
There is a simple fix to all these issues, but Bungo hates to do anything that will upset the precious streamers. That fix? ZONE CONTROL, D2 needs it because the playerbase is 3/4s retarded as is and pays no attention to objectives. There needs to be a gamemode that the only focus is controlling the zones for time limits and then points are awarded. Kills are meaningless and go untracked (Gasp I know), outside of bounties that track themselves for kills with a primary (Don't lock my ass into a gun I don't want to use), secondary, super, etc.
IB in D1 wasn't perfect, but compared to the dumpster fire that D2 IB has been since day 1 makes it look like the greatest PVP experience in history. Learn from the past, ditch the dumb as fuck triple cap mechanic so that teammates don't over commit and flip the spawns every 5 seconds and create a playspace people enjoy more then this mercy or get mercied and make no progress mechanic we have.
**Wanted to point out for the last user about blaming the Devs, we absolutely should but the fanbase is so insane that you are not allowed to be critical of them at all. There is some type of issue with matchmaking when a full fireteam plays together because the game still draws an equal share of good and bad players, they are just paired on 1 team. So you have 1-2 Very Good players, with maybe 1-2 average players, and 2 potatoes (I don't hate ya, they need a SBMM option that works with CBMM). THis is what is causing alot of the anger in the IB experience because it's very hard to fight against a full chatting fireteam of tryhards if it's just you and another.
Also CBMM is a fucking joke and will dwindle the PVP playerbase back to all time lows in record time. I have been doing fine as I fit somewhere in the slightly above average player pool, but I can tell you it doesn't feel the least bit good winning a match with 3.5+ KD and seeing a bunch of .17, .25, .53 on the other side. I don't improve playing those players, they don't improve getting bodied by me, it's lose/lose all because the best don't want to play the best, they want to make YT videos of farming scrubs. I counted at least 10 matches played last night that featured some of the worst lag/connection issues I have ever seen. Shit I could see on PC, but not sure how they were doing this on console so CBMM is only doing so much as a good chunk of my games also featured foreign language names and clan tags so I assume many of those aren't even in the same country.
