In my case, trials is the least laggy pvp gamemode as it ques me up with people from the same continent at least, not against Russian, Norweigan, German, French, Finnish people whom I share mutual lag with.
I sometimes receive hate messages for the lag, only to receive an apology msg a few min later when they realize we're on opposite sides of the planet and blame bungie for it.
Dedicated servers would fix the problem, but it's something Bungie has been dodging ever since the release, so it's not happening.

Looking at your stats you represent less than 1% of the player base. You understand it would be grotesquely unfair to ruin the game for everyone else for your sake?

My sake? I'm probably in a similar situation than most of you regardless of my stats. If you look deeply into my stats, you'd find that my most used weapon is fusion rifles. In fact, I have over 65,000 kills with them. I don't even use shotguns, snipers, or exotic handcannons. Fusions rifles are not competitive or "meta" weapons, they pale in comparison to what a skilled shotgun or sniper user can do, and yet I'm forced to play with all the top-tier tryhards who use nothing but Thorn, TLW, Longbow, Matador. A game shouldn't force you into using weapons you don't want to just for the sake of winning.

You're not even in the same league as the overwhelming majority. Sorry to say it but they're not going to compromise the experience of the 99% to help you. I get the thing about guns, they should all be viable (and to be fair they mostly are at my level).

You use percentages but don't actually observe what they're implying. With CBMM, you would have a 1/100 chance of running into a top-tier fireteam because that's the percentage of players they represent (1%). People defending SBMM are acting as if CBMM would put them up against sweaty ppl all the time, which is not the case. In fact, most players (top-tier or not) would argue that they're playing sweaty games all the time, which is something nobody wants anymore.

I'm happy to have competitive games all the time. An yes I think you'd run into over skilled players for a few reasons: 1. It's probably the top 10% who would run roughshod over rookies. I know this because I've occasionally teamed up with inexperienced buddies for Iron Banner and my presence wrecked the game. I'm not even top 10% either. 2. The better players are better because they play PvP more, so they'll have a disproportionate impact 3. Every game you're in you wreck for up to 11 other players. As a tangent: 4. Your skills will rapidly deteriorate due to lack of challenge
