Please give us the option to do this solo or go back to the way it used to be. If a friend of mine saw I was doing the Weekly Heroic Strike solo, they could hop in and I would have no problem doing the Heroic strike with them. Now I have to carry two randoms in a matchmade game. Half the time, they aren't even there. Just AFK and moving their character every once in a while. The players don't even realize that there is a burn (this week is Void and I'm sure that they still haven't figured it out) yet they still have equipped weapons that will be a non factor. It was much more fun and challenging doing the strike solo. Now it's a chore to carry randoms.
It's embarrassing having to play along side such incorrigible players. They simply should not be on my fireteam.
Edit: I play the Weekly Heroic Strike at level 30.
Also since it appears people think I would like playing with AFK players because then I would be solo--that's absolutely not the case. They are AFKing and given a free ride to loot. I shouldn't be the one to give them free loot.
This matchmaking system is broken and exploited.

I would like the option. Have run into a handful of AFKers, but still manage to have some great teams now and again. Last night, ran through it with randoms. We all had void and really watched each other's backs without communicating at all. Best experience I've had so far with MM. Unfortunately, they're too few now. The OPTION to switch on or off MM is a gaping hole that has yet to be filled in by the Devs.
