I know what everyone is going to say - "population is down" - "matchmaking is always bad" - no, this is different. Something is going on. Very good players are getting matched with very bad players, and of course lobby balancing feels random AT BEST.
Just had a match where the efficiencies of one team ranged from 1.7 to 12.5 and the other ranged from .4 to .9. It was a pointless match. Nobody learned anything, the outcome was a foregone conclusion before it even began.
What's going on?

With the new Lobby Balancing, SBMM lobbies barely work, CBMM are the new SBMM Lobbies now. From one of the TWIDs, Bungie posted the Lobby Balancing as a way to mix up skill levels on both teams instead of putting them in one team of skill in one team and same for the other except the latter is exactly the sort of Matchmaking we got now which makes Crucible unbearable right now.
