We should have tiers of ranks, i.e. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
If you're a Bronze player, then you get matched with Bronze and Silver only. If you're Platinum, only Gold or Platinum. Silver tier players get ranked with Bronze, Silver and Gold. Gold Players get matched with Silver, Gold and Platinum players.
This will keep new players from getting stomped and will allow the best players to go up against good players and not have to go too sweaty all the time.
For unranked, then you can play with anyone but the rewards shouldn't be as good. They should be good, but maybe competitive weapons and armor have an additional mod slot or something and trials (if they have trials) weapons and armor will have two additional mod slots. This way, you still get something out of playing competitive rather than unranked playlists.
And for goodness sake, let's have your rank diminish over long periods of inactivity so when you come back to the game after 6 months, you're not playing against PvP gods while you're trying to get back into the groove of things.
This should fix most PvP MM issues.

Then have two slots for endgame PvE gear.

+1 for tiered Trials. I posted this a while back and was mostly met with haters but I think you are on board with an idea like I had.

So essentially, OverWatch?

If that's how Overwatch does it then yes. Except it'd be devoid of the prepubescent game design and style which I loathe.
-
I don't care for the look of Overwatch either.
-
Yeah, I was looking forward to it for a while but immediately regretted buying it. If I was 14 maybe it'd appeal to me, but I'm not. I think the design style turned off a lot of people.

Comp in Overwatch requires you to play 10 "ranked games" once you reach lvl 25 to determine placement based on your performance. After 10 games, you are placed in a tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.), you either move up or down based on games 11-XXXXX. At the end of the ranked season, you are given additional rewards based on end of season ranking performance. Next season, stats reset and your play your 10 qualification games over again to start the process all over again.

Soooo like Halo 5?

Ah, seems like a good system. I know the MM in Overwatch is well regarded, I simply can't get past the whole style of the game. I think it'd work well for Destiny. Halo 5 does a similar thing as well.
