Trials Matchmaking

To start, I have had no issues with the enemy teams I’m put up against. They’re usually around my skill level. A little higher or a little lower, depending on my luck, which is how it should always be. My problem is the teammates I’m getting. I don’t know how it happens almost 95% of the time, but I simply cannot escape the players who barely use cover, run unoptimized loadouts, don’t revive, never teamshoot, etc. It genuinely feels as if the matchmaking finds 3 people around my skill level, and then randomly pull the last 2 out of a hat and throw them on my team, forcing me to either carry or be on the top of the losing team. And getting a win streak at all is almost impossible because of this. Back in Lightfall and even Final Shape, I could get my 7 wins in a row, or 7 wins with one mercy, pretty reliably as long as I tried hard enough. But with this matchmaking and the teammates I’m getting, it does not matter how well I play. Unless I’m getting mostly solo team-wipes every round, it is going to be a SLOG just to win 5 rounds and get one victory on my card. (And I don’t stack because A: My friends don’t fw pvp, and B: The matchmaking starts messing with the enemy team and gives me people way above my skill level) If anyone else has this issue, I suggest posting about it so that Bungie can hopefully look at how games are being matchmade, because this is seriously ruining the endgame PvP experience.

  • PvP matchmaking always has had a form of team balancing, recently worse than usual. Like you said, I agree, the people I face are around my skill level but the teammates are just atrocious. Usually it goes like this You (average or above average) .4kd Jimmy who picked up the game two weeks ago .2kd Timmy who rarely plays PvP Vs 3.0KD sweat 400 flawless guy Guy with 45k kills with a sniper at 90% accuracy
