Possibly the worst IB yet

I would like to start by saying that I have no complaints about the new maps, supremacy, or the reworked IB system. (I'm actually a big fan of the new loot/bounty system). The main issues: -Lag This always seems to be a problem in the IB. While not as obviously bad as it has been in the past, it's still pretty rampant. You may not have quite as many "red bar warriors" but overall there are many slight instances of lag. And just because a whole lobby is "green" does not mean there isn't lag. This also brings me to my next point. -Hit Registration What more is there to say? The hit registration has been awful this go around. I have found that shotguns have been VERY inconsistent, which has made this IB more frustrating. Consistently shots have just not been registering. Maybe lag is coming into play, but every match? Something is wrong there. I'm getting ghost bullets from point blank range with a max range party crasher, or when they do hit it's for minimal damage. I understand light level comes into play at times but I'm 354..when I get a crit at point blank range and it only does 91 damage.. something is wrong. And don't even get me started on handcannons.. Sometimes they're great from decent range, the next minute 3 bullets in a row don't do any damage from shotgun range. This "cone" of bloom is causing my bullets to take 90 degree angles out of the barrel because there's no other explanation of how these shots could miss from that range. -Matchmaking I usually run the IB solo and most times I can still hold my own..but not this time. Full fireteam after full fireteam. I'm getting spawn camped constantly. You'd think if Bungie is so serious about using this SBMM that they would pair fireteams with other fireteams. That's really not my biggest complaint though. The worst is unbalanced teams. It was rare to get a 6v6 match. 6v5, 4v3, and even 5v3 were much more common. The funny part about this? 9 out of 10 times the team with larger numbers was a fireteam. How does this happen Bungie? Guess which team I was consistently on. -General Annoyance Ok so this last part is just me being a touch salty. I'm really getting tired of constant wombo combos and lightning grenades. This is right up there with Universal remote and shoulder charge/juggernaut in the last IB. I realize people will flock to what's strong but it sure is annoying. A single voidwall, smoke, or lightning grenade will completely shut down an entire room. Strikers and Nightstalkers are all you see.(with the occasional Gunslinger thrown in to spam golden gun). Come on people..live dangerously quit trying to sweat constantly. There are more weapons than just MIDA and TLW. Try to have a little fun.
