I 100% agree with this. I know people will bitch me out for it, but whenever I queue into any crucible mode (except for trials which I'll get to) and it's me and three randoms against a 4 clan, I'm usually bailing. The general sense of coordination of the 4 clan is more often going to spank a four random team. Quickplay is meant to be fun mode crucible but when it's 1/1/1/1 vs 4 and the score is 10/35 in favor of the 4...I'm not having fun in that match anymore. I get that competitive is meant to be more difficult, emphasizing teamwork and what not but again, when you queue in and your group of pugs is facing a clan, there's little challenge. On that note of solo queuing, I have my good matches, but I'm typically on the worse end most the time compared to how some play this game. If I'm going to queue in to try and knock out my crucible based milestones, put me against people that are also not so hot at times. If anything matches like that will at least be somewhat of a confidence boost for people. Not trying to go "special snowflake" or "everyone deserves a freebie" but when some players feel alienated from a solid third of the game, something needs to be looked at. As for trials, I tried to knock that out with my clan, four man queue, a week or two ago. We were fortunate that we had 0 wins and that our ticket hadn't even started. A string of 5 or 6 losses in a row is pretty demoralizing, especially when 1. you get beat by one team only for the next match to pit us against the same team that just beat us (meaning our 0 ticket to their at least 1 win), and 2. player skill might be a factor, but when an opposing team is sitting on 8.0 or 10.0 kill efficiencie while your team is constantly getting spanked to the point of maybe breaking even, even if the opponent isn't cheating, the drastic difference still gives you that paranoid feeling that something screwy is going on.
