I didn't want the rewards this time but then decided I would grind one character to rank 5 last night. When started in I was getting totally destroyed and at first I thought it was just me because I haven't played crucible for a few weeks. Then I started noticing as soon as I would engage anyone I was dead. I even switched to mida and still couldn't win a gun battle then I knew something was up.
However the ping bars all looked good but there was definitely something wrong. I recorded a clip of me shooting the other team with quilliums (not sure if spelled right) with them shrugging it off and wasting me. All the while the ping bars looked fine.
I think whatever they did to the matchmaking algorithm is messed up right now. No this isn't me complaining because I got destroyed because I suck either just wanted to see if others encountered this.
Edit: wow sounds like Bungie has more work to do tuning this matchmaking/damage ref. Also I posted a video from more console talking about this in one of the replies. I'll post it here as well: http://youtu.be/NTO1sesVRBU
If I get time I have couple of videos that I captured that I will try to upload. The one is of the incident in my post.
