Skill simply has to be a part of the matchmaking algorithm. People won't stay if they never do well. Besides, how can the ninjas improve if they play weaker players? However, since 2.0, I've noticed a lot more lag, which ruins some fraction of the games. As a mediocre player, my best experience in properly matched games occurred during the first half of 2015. My k/d slowly rose to nearly 1.2, and was still climbing when Destiny 2.0 released. Now, it's 1.1, due mostly to lag and losing the guns I liked. You can see the connection problem when looking at my daily/weekly/monthly game history. When the network is good to me, I see 1.0-2.0 k/d games. When the network is bad, I get 0.5 k/d games. Bungie should just go back to whatever the matchmaking was in early 2015....
