Speedrunners in Strikes

[GoldenFox 51]

If you simply run far ahead in a strike and leave your teammates behind, you're a f**king idiot.
There needs to be a way to punish people how constantly do this because it pisses me off so much.

The real issue is that there's no option to turn off matchmaking in strikes, so you're forced to play with random people that play however they want.

*laughs in causing solo strikes

of course i'm gonna rush it's the 64th time i'm playing this mission and there is not reason to kill mobs at all
nothing stops you from staying behind and shoot stuff if you want to

Enemies killed in strikes don't drop anything special (don't even give much experience) and there is no scoring system to promote clearing the entire strike so why bother. Most people get in, get their bounty/quest/challenge done, and then get out.

If killing an enemy in a strike gave anything at all then people might stop to kill them but without meaningful experience and pretty much zero loot there is no point in taking anymore time then you need to a strike you've run over a dozen times.

just watch how they complain about it but will do it themselfs later on trust me XD i was pissed off by those speedrunners aswell and today if i dont feel like killing all enemies i rush through it aswell cause just like you said theres no special reward for killing enemies in a strike i rush through it for the weeklys rewards and after that never play it again until weeklys resets same for ordeal and stuff

First time through: oh this is fun, this area looks cool, WTF STOP RUSHING AHEAD AND PULLING ME

Third time through: urgh why are you guys still back there, hurry up so we can kill the boss already, COME ON!

Lol I hate speedrunners too. If I have bounties to do, and it's a low level strike, I just let them run ahead while I work on bounties. If they die then I usually just ignore them when I reach them. Wait till you do matchmaking strikes on 970 and the speedrunners zip past all the champs and then hit their celebration emotes at the end. Ultimate in noobness.

A) 970 doesn't have match making unless they've changed 950 to 970.
B) Even if that is the case the tier 2 Ordeal doesn't give much loot to bother killing the champion, just like normal strikes most people are just there to get the weekly challenge.

The annoying aspect is if you have bounties running that say kills mobs in strikes, or ones where you need to get say 1000 kills, strikes are not the best way perhaps because of speed runninl but still.

I just let them die, never revive them as they often run into trouble.

We all do it, but I even seen them run through levels, use their sparrow routinely then stand and do nothing in rooms waiting for you to clear. So I try and stand there too!

You know that most people that do proper speedruns, don't need your help to begin with... xD

Very true ~ a valid point.

this describes why I want to play games for sure This whole game is boring.. it's all about grinding something or other out as fast as possible. It's tickling a completionist urge in me so I've been sticking with it but I'm starting to think it's not very enjoyable

If you want to avoid speed runners, just run a nightfall with your friend instead of playlist strikes. Those are the far right options on the vanguard destination and don't have matchmaking.

I'll look into that, we haven't tried nightfall yet.

Fun? I'm not looking to grind XP or loot for eight hour sessions, just hang out with a buddy for an hour or two, kill some baddies and a boss, etc... which is difficult to do when you get teamed up with a decked out speedrunner who goes through every enemy and boss in the mission like John Wick goes through nameless henchmen.
