I can't handle it lol it's not worth the marks

Wasn't skirmish supposed to have been fixed from skill based matchmaking..? Or am I just unlucky enough to get groups of three people that spend the entire game camping every sight line of the map with snipers?

Pretty successful raid with Krat

3 ghosts
310 chest
303 boots
310 bad juju from a chest
320 rocket launcher
303 warlock bond
Shotgun
Fusion
310 quilams
306 hand cannon
320 artifact
310 artifact

Might be something I'm forgetting... So much loot

Lol you just got more light level from a single raid than I have across all 3 of my characters

That has nothing to do with skill based matchmaking. That is just what a majority of people do now since they nerfed shotguns as much as they did. You always have to assume people are hard scoping the lanes so jump around walkways or slide and never just walk/run because there is a high chance someone is already zoomed in waiting for someone to cross the path. Also taking alternate routes helps but on some maps its really hard to do.

I played like ~7 games. It was very obvious that the people I was playing against weren't just random noobs. Games were still extremely competitive, hard to enjoy, the normal shit.I know what to do when people are hard scoping but it's almost impossible to win against that bullshit when you're not in a team and playing against one

Key to 3v3 with randoms is always follow the rest of your team. I just won a skirmish match by following my team, reviving and taking out their snipers. Also helped I revived next to a bubble, walked in threw grenades and punched out the bubble owner, a supered hammer bro and a hunter

The key to 3v3 with randoms is not getting teammates who go 7-18 every game and also not going up against extremely sweaty teams always. Oh wait, that never fucking happens

I dunno I keep checking the ELO of teams I play when I blow them out or get blown out and they are on par with my and my teammates ELO. Some times people just have a good or a bad game. Sometimes other teams just know the map better. Spawns can be advantageous or otherwise. High ground low ground. There are many things that come into effect.

The change in skirmish matchmaking is not skill based to connection based, it was solely skill based now it is both connection and skill based

I wonder what they are really taking into consideration when they have skill based matchmaking.

Win ratio, k/d, k+a/d, time played, light level, grimoire?

probably a combination of all of it

whatever it is, the sbmm does not feel balanced well, obviously lag has been an issue, but when it is not I feel really outmatched by most of the people in my lobbies, either they need to wipe the slate clean and establish a transparent ranking system or they need to go back to solely connection based matchmaking

the number of people using thorn felwinter in rumble today feels like y1
