Lobby balancing is so bad. So so so freaking bad

It's like the game is literally build to make lopsided pisspoor experiences in pvp... lopsided blowout matches. Match after match.. 🤮

    • Tried to warn them. They don’t want to listen. AE changes: worst decision since go Slow & dbl primary The GunPlay is what made this game fun! And you murdered it… Lobby Balancing: is still active & still BROKEN Quitter penalty in Casual Play… Horrible decision! SBMM: where are all those casual warriors that said they’d play more pvp if it was turned back on?????? LIES!!! One New Map since Shadowkeep and it was so awful you had to implement a quitter penalty in QP! PvP Population as of 9 pm today= A RECORD LOW 190k…across all 3 platforms…. EMBARRASSING! Where’s all this money going from Everpurse? You’re apart of Sony now!!! Where’s the payoff? WE WANT THIS GAME TO BE GOOD! WE WANT TO PLAY! WE WANT TO HAVE FUN! But this… THIS ISN’T IT!!!!

      • Last time I played it took 20 minutes to find a pvp match. I can’t imagine the wait times now.

        • Reading this, it’s weird that I’ve had the opposite experience. To me, SBMM actually felt like most of the time it would put me in a fun and competitive lobby instead of the usual try-hard sweaty one sided dumpster fire. But I suck at pvp, so it’s possible that if you’re good, you might get thrown in with the sweats a lot?

          • I played a lot of pvp yesterday and it was terrible. I had a lot of losses. But the wins felt terrible as well like they were unfulfilling. Nothing about those wins had me thinking “this was amazing!” Every match was terrible and frustrating. First of all stacks got put on the same team smh. You got a stack of 3 AND a stack of 2 and they were put against us six randoms. Normally I don’t complain about weapons but I’m sick of le monarque. I’d rather deal with someone using jotunn because I can roll out of the way or bait someone to use up all their shots. But le monarque? It’s got infinite ammo. That means someone can keep shooting. Can I counter it? Sure and I have but it doesn’t mean it’s not ridiculous. Almost EVERY match had at least 1 person using it. And I move around. When I’m shooting I go in and out of cover. When you get hit you have to instantly retreat. I hate bows in pvp.

          • I just don’t understand why didn’t they work if lobby balancing first? If it’s done right we don’t need sbmm at all.

              • Oh, the wonders of my beloved SBMM. On one side, the crowd that complains about "blowout matches". On the other my crowd, being happy to have close call games every match. I know a lot of you folks don't like it. But I am having the intended experience with it and I am not even the target audience.

              • Especially funny considering with SBMM you would think that theoretically you would get more even matches but not really the case so makes you wonder wtf is the point of SBMM then?! Lol

              • Playing Trials in freelance.. very few competitive games. It’s either 5-0 or 0-5. Hardly ever comes down to the wire. Kinda sad to load into a no-win game half the matches.

                  • The population has dropped to record low numbers - lowest in PC Steam history: https://steamcharts.com/app/1085660 So instead of SBMM or CBMM it's ALPBM (Anyone Left Playing Match Making), and you can expect it to be utter trash.

                      Even in cruci labs without quit protection, I'm getting teambalanced into the ground. Won maybe 1/10 matches today. im always on the losing side. so dumb. And gls and forerunner just makes this game so unfun now.

                    • iron banner last time around was the worst. way worse than trials. i was playing tougher opponents in iron banner than in trials which I could not figure out. the lobbies were always lopsided with mercy being called way too often. iron banner was unplayable and it needs some type of sbmm with eruption. previous iron banners were not that bad.

                        • Hopefully Sony brings in more skilled and knowledgeable personnel. We can’t expect anything from the current group and their management. The only thing they excel at is making the game worse.

                        • What’s weird is that I played Halo Reach PvP till Destiny launched. Even when there were only 1500 people matchmaking… in the world, the games were still mostly ok.

                        • Late in any season is when the PvP is at it's worst, lower player count and higher density of PvP mains / LFG stomp parties. Once the new season starts and coming matchmaking options are available I suspect things will improve. 100 to 150 games are better than it used to be though I was on the wrong end of a 90 to 8 mercy during IB facing an LFG stomp so looking forward to those scummers being history.

                          • Not enough people anymore to sustain sbmm so it's back to cbmm being that it is loose sbmm rather than total. If it was total sbmm the really good players probably wouldn't be able to play at all and everyone else would have longer queue times. The game in its current state is laziness and will fail if this season model continues and nerfs toncire aspects to the game. I'm still surprised they did not buff the warlock but gave it a nerf instead.
