-> Problem solved.
We don't need to look at any greater good.
This is a game, and should be enjoyable for [u][b]EVERYBODY[/b][/u], not just the "weaker"; "average", or "top" players.
You're 100% right by saying: "There's not one solution that can cater to all players."; Perhaps multiple solutions then? Hence ranked and social playlists.
[i]"But then the K/D's and statistics will be unreliable!"[/i] Bungie has never cared for the top ranking players, or veterans of the game; they've proven that multiple times already. They cater to the casual, and the casual does not care for statistics.
SBMM has destroyed the fun of crucible for the majority; has twisted the meta into a corner snipe face-off; and has made it impossible for many people to play competitively aside their(higher-skilled) friends.
No excuse is valid for this failed attempt at a better matchmaking system.

Anyone who thinks • Ranked playlist • Social playlist Fixes the issues is an idiot and does not understand game design, common sense. Just because a mode is labelled social does not mean people are going to stop using the top tier weapons/tactics.

Duh But it would help A LOT.

It's not about the type of weapons used; it's about the level of skill that's matched against you. Quite the difference. Halo 3 was made this way, and it worked like perfection. But I guess whoever made Halo 3 lacked any understanding of proper game design; and certainly didn't have any common sense! And thank [i][b]you[/b][/i] for the kind compliment!

This, exactly. No one is going to volunteer to go into a sweatfest. In my opinion, crucible is more balanced now than ever...when level matters. But, I'm a filthy casual so...
