Let's go over a list of why "Crucible except with nothing different" AKA Iron Banner is awful.
First of all, as the aforementioned states, it's nothing special. It's literally just Control. "Oh but level advantages are on and blahfstgf" yeah my ass. Tell me that when a lvl 22 tries to go toe-to-toe with me. Until then, -blam!- off.
Secondly, the connection this time around is -blam!-ing atrocious. Red bar connections DOMINATE good connections. Is this Black Ops 2 in disguise?
And why in the hell am I constantly being put into games where my team has 2 people and is losing by THOUSANDS? Put me in a fresh game, goddamn it!
I would talk about how that disease called the Thorn is dominating, but that's old news by now.
I can't -blam!-ing stand The Crucible, and Iron Banner is a shit stain on even that. Level 5 pls, com soonr :c

Normally the whole joining games late thing is a huge issue for me. This time around, not so much. I'm getting put on teams that are actually good and carrying me. But I definitely understand your frustration. I'm just getting lucky I think. One match I played on Cauldron I literally could not stop laughing out loud. I sh!t you not, my audio consisted solely of blink, shotgun shots, TLW, and Thorn. In that order. The amount of blinking going on was hysterical. It felt like I was playing Tribes or something...
