| Maybe the TU is just exposing another problem... | |

In Response To: Re: TU Needle Rifle - it's pretty good *vid* (DEEP NNN) : TU rewards the already highly skilled and being imposed on the lesser skilled who are the : most likely to be destroyed by it. : Bungie, I believe, understands the reason why a playing field has to be leveled : The TU creates a huge disparity between the skill levels. : these same people are playing in the same venue as highly skilled players and all too often are matched up against them. Alternative theory: the real problem isn't the TU, it's Matchmaking. If True Skill and Matchmaking worked perfectly in tandem to match BTB teams of all randoms with very similar skills, or full parties with each other with similar skills, the gap in player skill would not be as evident, even with better weapons. In other words, perhaps if Matchmaking was doing its job, then even if the weapons got buffed, equally skilled players would still have a competitive match. It might be over faster since kill times are less in the TU. But the "rich getting richer" argument is more of an indication that the teams are not being matched well in the first place. The TU just makes it more obvious. I find that I'm often matched with groups of randoms that my team and I can destroy, or pitted against an MLG caliber team. There are not very many games that end 50-45 or 100-96. Just a theory, what do you think?
