Checkmate Shouldn’t Ever Be Quickplay

To start - I like checkmate as its own playlist (my friends don’t). I think CM could work for comp/trials. Quickplay? Nope. You’ve essentially taken all the fun things about Destiny PvP and erased them. Ability builds are useless now, which means builds are shifting to neutral game perks/exotics. Were abilities a little strong before? Sure, but it’s Quickplay. It’s fun. It’s a space magic shooter game, but you’ve taken away the magic part. Now it’s just a space team-shot simulator (yawn) overrun by Thorn noises. Sadly, my friends and I (all PvP mains) are gonna sit D2 out for a while, specifically due to this new Checkmate Quickplay. Our biggest dilemma is finding another game to play. D2 was THE GAME for us - years and years of D2. Hundreds of dollars, thousands of hours. Not sure where to go now, but we’re awaiting the return of fun PvP. PS - Video games should be fun. Please bring back some other fun game modes, like CTF, King of the Hill, etc. Scorched and Mayhem are k/d destroying dumpster fires. PSS - Please start including useful stats at the end of crucible games. Kills, assists, precision, supers, melee kills, grenade kills, kd, kad, etc. Show us who won big medals and how many. You have the data, just show it on the screen. An easy suggestion, but people would appreciate it.

  • Effing this. 100% agree. When I saw what they were doing to PvP, I was like.... how can they be THIS stupid? Like this is Blizzard level stupid. I love PvP, though my clan hates it. However, with how it's set up now, no way. I am also wondering what exactly I am going to play. PvE only keeps me entertained so long. Diablo 4 is a disaster (hence the Blizzard comment), Fallout 76 I've been playing since when it was trash and I'm bored of that, only so much Borderlands 3 I can play. And what's the common thread between them? No (good) PvP. Guess that leaves me with Smite as my main game.... Destiny's was satisfying BECAUSE OF ABILITIES. Otherwise, it just feels like CoD with cooler guns. Sure, there's nothing wrong with having a playlist that focuses on gunplay more, but leave regular crucible alone. I said this in another post, but I'll say it again. There is nothing wrong with innovation and trying new things. However, innovation can not come at the cost of core game play/modes. Control, Clash and Rumble should be staples around 100% of the time with nothing special added to them. Any modifiers should put those modes into a separate list, so the masochists that do want to play them can do so.
