Now what destiny 2it’s been a while since it was released by its developer Bungiehas announced that it will be adding a controversial feature to the free-to-play shooter starting in Season 18, this as part of a lengthy explanation from the developer about how matchmaking currently works in Destiny 2’s Crucible.
This is why it has been revealed that Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) will return in Season 18 and repeat until Season 19 with the intention of allowing all players to regularly participate in matches that feel competitive, and despite the fact that SBMM is often a controversial addition because generally.
Well, it means that matches take longer to complete in video games, plus the fact that above-average players often like the power fantasy of completely overwhelming opponents, which isn’t always possible against skill players. Similary.
“At the start of Season 18, we’re going to start bringing match equity back to Control (and only Control) in the Crucible.”Bungie explains to bring SBMM back to Destiny 2. “We want to start small to limit the number of playlists we consider when tuning in to matchmaking with hundreds of thousands of people.”
“We can do some testing, but nothing can fully simulate how the total population will be affected by these changes before shipping. We’re going to adjust live matchmaking parameters for the first few weeks until we find something that provides a better balance of fairness, quality, and speed.”
So just as you might suspect, Bungie expects the total matchmaking time to increase with the addition of SBMM: “Start with a broad definition of match fairness and compromise on matchmaking speed to keep match fairness high and connection quality high”so Bungie also notes that it will be closely monitoring these changes for quick adjustments and adjustments.
So Destiny 2 Season 18, with the new SBMM changes, is scheduled to kick off on August 23, with more expected to be revealed about what’s coming to Destiny 2 during the next showcase in late August at More broadly, Destiny 2 is currently available, for free, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC.
