[quote]At first when the season started it seemed alright, but now it's back where it was. Player population yadayada, I get that.[/quote] That’s kinda the driving issue in my opinion. Bungie’s system only works when the player base is at its peak. SBMM in control/rotators makes it unfun for everyone. Newer players don’t improve, higher tier players have to sweat every match, and players in the middle flip back and forth between stomping and being stomped. Comp needs pure rank-based matchmaking to make it viable, otherwise ranks are meaningless. If you play people out of your rank but are at a similar “skill” you won’t move up or down in a good way. Either the system won’t work (allocating even points no matter what rank players are on each team) or people won’t be able to understand (allocating seemingly random points based on win/loss) Trials is in a decent spot in my opinion, but the “practice pool” should have the same matchmaking as the control playlist. Offer more protection to players just trying to learn or grind rep. I think the whole undermining issue is Lobby balancing. It’s still messed up very frequently.
