suicide 6v6?
I'm watching his stream too. It's ridiculous. My main account hasn't seen an opponent in a match as mindless since before Crota's End/DLC1.
I created an alt account during HoW and got a Mark of the Unbroken and a Phantom before I even unlocked my jump. With a white pulse rifle. So SBMM has been a factor for at least that long. But it feels like it's gotten so much worse.
I think I want SBMM completely gone. Just gone. If I want SBMM-esque matches, I'll play Trials or another similar playlist that they can come up with. Ranked, whatever.
The fact that CD is so sweaty when it's ostensibly about dragging your SO into matches to get a feel for the game and have some fun is ridic.

Getting loot is part of the fun in games like this. It's something that Bungie had a problem with, since they are so damn tight-fisted with giving out good loot. Low drop rates and RNG on RNG making a good percentage of what you do get useless for anything more than infusion fodder just make the loot aspect of the game more frustrating. So people take advantage. If loot drops were satisfying, you wouldn't see nearly as much of this sort thing as you do now. Bungie just doesn't get it.

He just got Sum of all Tears (score more than the other 5 players combined from what chat said) again lol

What year is it?
It's interesting to me that he said this is what it was like to play Destiny before. These are the caliber of players. So sweaty matches aren't fun it's only fun to pub stomp?

This actually makes me realize how little Bungie has learned.
Players will always take the path of least resistance. ALWAYS.
If you give them an opportunity to abuse the rate of rewards they get in the game, they will take it and violate it.
Both Crimson Doubles rewards and Special Ammo is the perfect example of this.
If this is a new account, he has no "Trueskill" value according to the Destiny Database. Thus, all his matches are going to strongly favor CBMM, because he has no SBMM variable to compare with. So he's probably getting games that have solid connections.
Though, I admit, that's probably not what he's talking about. He's probably just a tool who is making it harder for those of us trying to make a real point about CBMM v SBMM.

loot cave event would be awesome. Increased drop rates for a weekend and increased enemy spawns at the cave. Could load up on all weapon parts and armor parts and maybe get some decent guns out of it.
I feel like I am missing a key piece of information.
Is he threatening to continue pub stomping on alts unless he's allowed to pub stomp on his main?
That sounds pretty funny to me.
Destiny needs ladders.
He got a Mark of the Unbroken and Sum in the same RUMBLE match FFS.
Triple's argument that Ranked (SBMM) should be a playlist where you have the choice whether you want to play competitive or not.
It shouldn't be every playlist. He (WYL) shares the same views.

Yea it's very weird to me too. I know they enjoy bringing people that aren't as good and helping them. But to be able to just pub stomp all day, I don't see how that can be fun. Sure, every once and a while if you want to have that kind of fun I guess for "unranked". But yea, that's why there needs to be ladders/ranked of some sort.
If everyone is in a random pool together with CBMM, the games won't be as lopsided as they are on his stream now either. He's playing against people of low skill specifically because Bungie has pooled them together.
We don't want pub stomping, but we don't want sweaty matches every time you play a game either. We want a naturally diverse pool of varying skill representative of a "normal" pvp experience.
It may be nostalgia but I think people would flock to a loot cave event... And the bounties could be fun as well - kill 250 hive in an hour without dying lol.

Odds are, if you're going to get one in a Rumble match, you're likely to get the other.

Literally the post I have on Reddit's front page right now:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...mm_sbmm_sweaties_and_the_real_problem_behind/
At least then we'd be able to do the Shax bounties without having to play doubles.
I don't think it's about pub-stomping per se...it's just about messing around and playing for fun instead of sweating every match...
Really sounds like a euphemism for pub stomping.
Bungie should just do SBMM ladders and CBMM something else. I'd be interested to see how much viewership holds up once this alt 'fad' loses its charm and other streamers are out there playing competitive matches.
Not sure if Inferno is what should define Destiny's competitive side. It kind of sucks and sweaties never use it.
There should just be a modifier on every playlist. Just like difficulties on missions.
It's really not. You seem intent on defending SBMM despite almost all the primarily PvP players on the board hating it. Even CoD has CBMM. Most FPSes do. This isn't some weird thing we're asking for.
His current stream is NOT indicative of a "normal" PvP experience. It's the inverse of the overly sweaty SBMM many of us are experiencing. He's playing against people of low skill specifically because Bungie has pooled them together.

CBMM should always trump SBMM. Yeah competition is nice, but when there's frequent lag in the majority of matches, it doesn't matter how good you are.
Which is why they should revert and focus on making CBMM work, and then have a SBMM playlist for those that don't mind the laggy connections.

So, which event was better then?
Crimson Doubles or The Rising Light (non-event) Event?
Note that Rising Light gave every player a Emblem, 10 Motes, and 10 strange coins, just for logging in.

No one ever uses it because it isn't a permanent playlist. You can't really plan around playing a match on a gametype that shows up once every 6 weeks.
Edit: whoops, said 6 months on accident.

Don't worry, mine was only 311. An improvement for me though.

You better work on your sweaty play cause you need to get me a doctrine!
Yeah, I know most people don't do the shaxx weeklies, but logging in and noticing they were replaced by pink bounties was just an extra kick in the balls.
On a good note, at least this let me clear two weekly bounties that required an elimination win.
Apparently I got one of the best shotguns in the game according to this guy for suiciding.
What's funny is I was a big Festival of the Lost hater, yet it was 10 times better than this crap. They introduced something new with masks, actually had a few quests that were unique (and funny), and overall it had a bit of character. The big problem was that the rewards for completion were garbage.
Now they are rewarding some gear and shaders, but the event itself is garbage. What the hell man.
If he wants to plays a system close to the old CBMM, creating a new clean account, is the only way.

The more I think about it, the more I think Crimson Doubles was only supposed to be a single day (Valentine's day), but the way Destiny works, that couldn't be done. So they just had to plop it down onto a full week, and go from there.
Nothing about it requires a full week of play. The entire event could be done in 2-3 hours.
Sounds like a job for Iceman and Kelson...

Just went 12-1 in a Doubles match with Jade Rabbit and Defiance of Yasmin. Fuck yo meta.

Except the drops...six hours legit yesterday, nearing four hours of semi afk crimson suiciding, and still no ghosts for myself or my partners.
If the drop rates weren't so bad, I'd think you were on to something.

Not a chance. The reward table is too small to be a threat to the economy.
It'll be a black mark for sure, but they'll just learn from it for next year.*
*Jesus, I fucking hope they learn from it.
Meh, that could have been adjusted after they knew it had to be stretched through a week.
Ghosts probably had a 35% drop rate before, and now it has a 3.5%.
Other than the fact Bungie said it was going to be an event the size of Festival of the Lost.
I went 12-1 with the Waterstar last night. It was a fun match!
From what I've seen that describes him pretty accurate. He's a tool.
I'm not sure why he gets promoted so much here and elsewhere. Man, he is ALWAYS streaming though.

Sweaty Frenden is best Frenden.
Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Last 18+ hours have been rough. Kept wishing for some time that the past 18+ hours have all been a dream and that I would wake up soon to find things normal. Rather not talk any more on this. If you see me playing Destiny, feel free to hop into the fireteam. Not gonna be at my best for a long while.
