Now hear me out, I know this argument will be controversial but, just listen. If crucible and any PvP activity is to survive for long in Destiny they need to attract newer players, here's the problem with that though. New lights and people with little crucible playtime are constantly being matched with entire teams of enemies who only play crucible and only flawless trials and it is seriously killing the game mode. Nobody wants to play a game mode when they go on a 7 game lose streak constantly going against flawless 5000+ hour crucible players who just sweat swamp and stomp out any sort of fun within crucible and matchmaking. And I know, someone's going to say " Well SBMM only benefits the new lights and forces the high end players to play harder" and I say, why is that a problem, Your performance shouldn't rely on getting matched with people who have never played crucible before and swamping them, it will kill crucible and it will kill Trials and the iron banner when stuff like this happens. New lights and lower tier crucible players should not be getting matched with Flawless toxic elitists.

SBMM will never happen again sweats cry, this game never has balance. PVP is consistently trash. Realistically SBMM will never work because Bungie is still in 2022 using P2P. I don't think I've played a game in where the lobbies are so consistently tipped in favor of 1 side. It's been 2+ years and not a whole lot has improved, don't get me started on the lack of maps or a lobby vote on maps. I used to like pvp and now I don't have interest in it and the few times I jump in I remember why I stopped playing. And their is almost no variety in loadouts either
