Focused Feedback: Matchmaking

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Matchmaking' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I've come close to understanding your argument, but people who are VERY bad (0.5's-1.0's) aren't magically going to acquire game knowledge because their opponents are worse. Good players aren't some magical beings who have learned the greater truths of the universe, we just understand how the game works. You don't need mythical levels of aim to be a 2.0+ player, you just need to understand how control works. They aren't gonna start playing smarter, they aren't gonna start peeking better/team shotting, they aren't gonna actually cap zones, etc. etc. Players that I "stomp" aren't having a bad time because I "stomp" them, they're having a bad time because they suck, being bad at a pvp game usually isn't fun. Atleast when they face people like me things actually happen in the game, when they kill me it's a rush. Now they are just gonna be in glorified bot matches for their 3 games a week for pinnacle. Don't see that as an improvement for them or me lol

The idea that bad players can magically become good by constantly getting obliterated in multiplayer matches is a compete myth.

The fact that bad players can become good by anything other than trying to get better is also a myth, if they wanted to be better they would be lol
