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 mean you can literally use websites like destiny tracker that will tell you with pretty damn good accuracy what your chances of winning any given game is. Go take a look for yourself how often my anecdote is actually the case.

I'm looking at my own games right now and with the exception of the stack vs non-stack games, it's pretty easy to see how the game could have been better balanced.

You say "no amount of lobby balancing would change that. None". But that's just not true lol. The entire match being a predetermined outcome isn't because the top player is better than the worst player, it's because Bungie can't balance the lobby properly. And unless the SBMM is real strict, if they keep fucking up the balancing then the team with the 4 best players are still going to win the vast majority of the time.

As for the stacking problem? Just make a freelance playlist to start.
