Damn. Part of me is kind of sad they're rolling back SBMM. I was always lowest skill-tier and got matched up with scrubs Kappa.

Placebo effect. Bungie is lying to us!

what if they were lying from the very start and yesterday was the day that CBMM was in place, and SBMM is in place today?
<.<

ok, conjecture disproven. XD
nothing to see here, move along... move along.
No way was it yesterday, red bars, red bars everywhere

Red bar blueberries are OP
No shit. I felt like I couldn't let down my guard in case it was placebo. I was looking over my shoulder all match.
I have a conference call that just got bumped (again, ugh) to 2:30 CST that should last until 3. After that, ALL NIGHT BABAY.

Lol, that was amazing. We had a red bar blueberrie who kept dunking the rift and singlehandedly mercied the other team

Small sample size over here, but in about 5 lobbies since the supposed update, the average KD of my opponents has went from about 1.8ish to 1.8ish. Huge change.
Had this a few times now, no placebo they are without doubt searching closer to home.

You know, I was going to play Witcher 3 some more...but dammit...I cannot resist IB with Frenden. Curse you!

Excited to hear more impressions about IB MM over the course of the week. Way too early to say anything one way or another right now, but I'm very curious to hear the verdict by this weekend. Hopefully Bungie will even give us some feedback from their end since they have all the relevant stats.
....now back to The Witness! (which is real good so far fwiw)

IB with Frenden guaranteed laughs
Pours one out for Nilla as well
I want that. Looks like Myst and I think I would enjoy it. Love puzzles. Wait, the doctor is OT!

Nice!! I can't wait to check out the Witness today and hear more stories about MM. Seems like overall, mostly good news so far.
I'm sure this can happen, but Rift is not a good source of KDR anyways since there's a key objective. Also, I'm totally fine with these instances of similar KDR as long as the connection is great!

No, you have to have a potato somewhere in your connection.
Excuse me? The south is all mine!

Well, half the games have had a few red bars in the lobby. Half have been good with regard to lag. I guess that's an improvement.
We'll split it at Nashville.
Still up for NF in a couple hours?
Ah. The skillz are purchased in the produce aisle.
rank 3 excuse me
Thanks. I always forget to pick up the PS Plus games unless someone reminds me.Helldivers for free for PSN+ subscribers in February!
I love it when my stinginess pays off!

Got one more with me, any trains need 2?
I'm about 30 minutes from where Goth lives, haven't been matched up against him yet.

Wow the Hawkmoon is pretty good. I can reliably get 3 shot kills with it.

Also, reminder for the ongoing conversation: Destiny has always had SBMM. It still has SBMM. The issue was the changes they made in December seemed to strongly prioritize the SB part of MM at the expense of connections (as is always the case: MM is a question of prioritization).
We will never have all green bars all the time. We will always get matched against a distribution of opponent skill level. The question is how are those experiences balanced across a huge sample size of matches.

could never
Great isn't it?
You're excused and thanks for the answer
If im rank 3 on one character will the other characters be able to get same drops?

Time to make your MLG montage then.

what I don't understand is why they can't do both?
why can't they filter for one, then filter for the next sequentially?
I am probably over-simplifying it, but it seems like they should be able to do so.
also
did you check your PM's?
Was the 'your win ratio should be about 50%' always something they were pushing? The last iron banner in particular seemed like it would punish the fuck out of me after a win when I played solo.

Same here had a few matches and its still a mess. I think I've just been that beaten down by the lag that i'll never be happy from this point onwards :d that and Iron Banner Rift eats at my soul as soon as I creep past level 3 i'm done
It's still a beast on smaller maps. Since I mostly use shotgun as special, it's no good to me anymore on more open ones.
As a y1 Xbox player I never got to experience it in it's full glory, but I still loved it from 2.0 to the latest nerf. Don't know why Bungie hates it so
Are the bullets still going in random locations when fired or have they resolved that? I remember I loved mine through Y1 and then Y2 ruined it for me. Haven't touched it since.
