I still don’t understand how after Destiny 1 and now Destiny 2 that you (Bungie) cannot figure out how to make a decent matchmaking system....It really baffles me.
If you’re playing solo Crucible, half of the games you are playing against premades while our team consists of all solo players.... If I am playing with my friends in the premade we play against all solos and mercy them. Neither side is fun to play on. Even in competitive the matchmaking is completely terrible.
So many people have brought up fantastic ideas in the community to implement into the matchmaking system and literally you have come up with the most jacked up system in any multiplayer game I’ve played in recent years.
I will say this... at least in the matchmaking aspect of both Destiny 1 and 2 it has always been consistently garbage. Whereas most of the changes made to the games throughout the years have fixed one thing and broken something else entirely.... so cheers to you hard working folk at Bungie.

I like close games, where I face people of my own skill level who test me and push me to get better....but are close enough to my own skill level that I can learn from my mistakes. IOW, I want SBMM. The problem is you have a lot of high-skill players and streamers who rail against SBMM and demand that MM be based on Connection quality. For some of them, this is to reduce long MM times....and/or poor performance due to poor connection quality. But for others, this is just a wish to pub-stomp and appear dominant. Because CBMM serves them up a steady stream of players less skilled than they are....and who cannot give them a competitive match. So they get the crap kicked out of them. These players want to win....but have little interest in actually competing. For most of Destiny 1, Bungie fought to keep SBMM. But---because of the overall poor quality of the product in Y1 of Destiny 2---Bungie finally gave in and removed SBMM. So now you have streamer's stomping players who barely know which end of the controller to point at the console.....and clan teams pub-stomping randoms.
