The Matchmaking Changes Previously Applied To IB and Skirmish are now Live in Rumble and Control.

Here's what I wrote in a reply on a different site. TL;DR: We need to know what the changes actually mean, not merely that some have been made.

Dear Deej, Bungie, whoever.

Here's a small piece of advice on how to communitalktopeople this matter more better.

We all know that the communication between you (Bungie) and us (the rest of the world) has been subpar at best and painful-like-a-SATC-marathon at worst. You know it, we know it, Activision knows it, hell, even the bunch of drunk monkeys you call a PR department probably knows it.

This new strat of telling people every change you make to matchmaking is a step in the right direction. Really. Good on you.

However, you made numerous changes to the matchmaking during Iron Banner. Consequently, when you say that you have "applied recent evolutions for Crucible matchmaking", it means absolutely Fanny Adams. I mean, the sentence itself is not exactly well constructed ("evolutions"? REALLY?), but more than that, it carries no information of value to the community. For all we know, those changes can be last Wednesday's (good), Thursday's (poop) or whatever else was implemented after that (on the scale between good and poop, it was rather smelly).

So. Here's a friendly bit of advice. When you update the community on changes made to the Crucible, include some actual information of value, not merely chewing gum locutions that can mean nothing, everything and all that in-between. We want to know which one, out of all the changes you made, you are implementing. We want to know what it means. As long as you keep us in the dark, we will feel like monkeys used for an experiment, not knowing what you're forcing us to drink, only that it's not the same jungle juice you are giving our primate mates in the PR department.
