Yep... whatever they are trying to do is just not working. SBMM doesn't belong in a P2P game or any game for that matter unless it's in a ranked/league playlist. It just doesn't work. It didn't work in Advanced Warfare and that had dedis so I don't know what they are thinking here.
Btw, If you have access to a "not so good" (stat-wise) account I highly suggest playing a few matches on it. It's night and day man. Not with just the skill level of opponents... the overall connection is just... better. Like, more "crisp".

They're making it very clear that they don't want us to pubstomp, and they want protection for newer players so that they have a good experience in PVP so they keep playing. I agree completely that SBMM should not be in P2P games at all, and that this current system just needs to be scrapped by Bungie. I do have access to my wife's account, which I played Crimson Doubles on for her. The difference is night and day like you said....and I had a GREAT time playing against a variety of skill levels and weapon setups.

I played on my uncle's account who has only been playing the game for a couple of months and it was so nice not facing thorn, the last word, doctrine of passing every single match. I could actually use whatever gun I wanted just like right after the 2.0 update when people were trying every gun. It was actually fun.

Exactly... the funny thing is that no one really just wants to pubstomp (at least I hope that's not everyone's goal). We all just want quality matches. I don't care if I face 4.0's or 0.5's or in between. I want my kills to be legit and my deaths to be legit. That can only happen if connection is priority. I wish they would just do what Black Ops 3 does. Connection first and then split up the teams based on the skill levels within that lobby. I have a 2.4 k/d and almost a 2.0 w/l in BO3 and I face people of all skill levels (above me and below me). I win some and I lose some and rarely ever do I complain about lag. I'm not saying lag is nonexistent... but, the instances are so far and few between it's a non issue for me. I sound like a broken record, but connection must be prioritized.
