Hello Guardians,


I’ve been playing Destiny for a few months now and I’ve noticed something about Crucible matchmaking that seems to frustrate a lot of players. I wanted to share my thoughts and see what others think.


What I’ve observed​


  • Sometimes matches feel unbalanced, as if one team’s overall power or experience is far higher than the other’s.
  • This imbalance often leads to quick uneven games, which can be discouraging for newer players or those trying for fun.
  • Even when it seems “fair on paper,” team composition (mix of experienced vs newer players, weapon variety, etc.) can strongly affect match quality.

What could help (my suggestions)​


  • Introduce a “skill‑range” matching option for players who want more balanced games — not just based on light level or rank.
  • Allow a “party‑only” matchmaking queue: players who squad up with friends get matched mostly with other squads, reducing mismatched solo vs team games.
  • Add a post-match “feedback option” where players can vote on how balanced the match felt. That data could feed into future matchmaking to improve overall fairness.

Why this matters​


Balanced matches make the game more enjoyable for both casual and competitive players. They encourage newcomers to stick around and help veterans have challenging yet fair sessions.


I would love to hear your thoughts. Have you experienced unbalanced Crucible games? What changes do you think would help?


See you in the Tower, Guardians!
