SBMM kind of "forces" competitive play (Destiny)

You have to be ultra-competitive and abuse every trick in the meta, because if not the SBMM is going to make you lose a lot.

Just for fun, I counted the kills in one of my games last night.

• 45 primary kills, of which 8 were non-Pulse Rifle (4 of which were TLW, 3 Palindrome and 1 Scout Rifle)
  
• 48 Shotgun kills!
  
• 11 Melee - More melee kills than non-pulse primary kills!
  
• 8 Fusion Rifle kills
  
• 6 Grenade kills (all of which were skip or voidwall grenades)
  
• 2 Sniper kills - Bear in mind this was on FRONTIER. Snipers paradise! Nope. Shotgun err day.
  
• 2 Sidearm kills

Now, the point of that isn't to whine about shotguns (I hear enough of that from my super l337 sniper friends already). Just that the message is clear - Play the meta or have a bad time,.

Which is fine in compettive play, really. That's sort of the point of competitive play. If that's what you want, awesome. But can I get a Casuals playlist please? Just one rotating through Rift, Control and Clash would be fine.
