Loss Streak Changes (Destiny)

Let me get this straight.

A streak breaking game is worth +/- 20 points...under the old system AND the new system. Yet, it seems Cody's fervent anger is solely over the streak breaking game. It was always worth 20 points and will still be worth 20 points.

We don't actually know the new values, so it's possible that first loss will hurt more than the current first loss, but we won't know until it's released I'm guessing.

Still though you nailed it. The system only seems worse if you look at it in hindsight. If you look at it as the potential outcome of the next game (assuming first losses are not significantly higher) this system will only help you in maintaining or gaining rep.

Your current score, in-and-of-itself, is a representation of hindsight. It is the accumulation of your past deeds.

By the way, I don't even play competitive; I don't have a horse in this race. I'm just trying to point out that there's a point here. lol
