Title: Crucible Lobby Balancing – Is There Any Way to Talk to Someone at Bungie?
I’ve put in over 8,000 hours across two accounts, and I’d estimate that 80% of that time has been in Crucible. I’m not here to rant—I’m genuinely asking: is there any way to speak with someone at Bungie about lobby balancing?
I don’t consider myself a top-tier player, but I’m also not bottom of the barrel. Yet match after match, I’m consistently placed on teams that are either at my skill level or noticeably worse—in unwinnable games against players that far out skill my team and I collectively -especially when solo queuing. Even after back-to-back blowouts, I get put right back in with the same teammates. I’m not blaming them I’m blaming the lobby balancing.
I’ve started checking Destiny Tracker and in more than 60% of my games, my team’s win probability is under 30%. That’s not just bad luck. Something is off. Whether it’s an unseen stat grouping solos together or some kind of hidden MMR factor, the experience is consistently frustrating.
@Bungie – I’m dead serious when I say this: I would literally pay to come into the studio and show you how consistently one-sided these matches are. I just want to understand what’s going on.
This feels similar to the god roll issue Bungie once said didn’t exist—until it turned out it did. The matchmaking imbalance is too consistent across game modes to be dismissed as random or anecdotal. Whether it’s baked in or the result of an overlooked system bug, it’s making Crucible miserable for long-time solo players.
Please—can someone @Bungie at least look into it or check my account for proof?? I just want an honest answer, or even an explanation. Anything.

From another long time player. This games pvp isn’t meant to be taken even remotely seriously. How they’ve handled the game is evident of this. And that isn’t a bad thing. Chaos can be fun. So long as it’s understood that you aren’t going to get fair fights, fair matches, and a balanced sandbox. I wish it had a serious space but the closest thing is private swears with rules made by kids. It took me years to get this into my head. I still disagree with their handling of it but it is what it is. You’ll enjoy your time a lot more once you let go
