As others said, with light levels enabled, you were probably already in a hole. Plus, I would imagine the players who enjoy PVP and/or are really good in crucible are a fairly high percentage of opponents you are encountering. Their familiarity with PvP and even the maps themselves would give them a good edge.

I went in knowing about the power level disparity. I played lower level Ironbanner before but it was never as bad as now. Yes players might be more familiar with maps but I’ve played on them before too and have a general idea of the map layout. And that I’m matched against higher skill players is the point that I make above

I agree. It was evident in my playing IB that for the most part, I was overmatched by a good number of opposing players. I was at a disadvantage on a few maps I was not familiar with also. That made it even worse for me.
