Destiny-specific lag in all 6v6 Crucible game modes

In that video, I melee the guy five times to absolutely zero effect. This was just the most egregious example I've had recently, other things that've happened to me involve people taking no damage from fusion rifle bursts that should've killed them, damage being delayed from my pulse rifle fire long enough for them to kill me (and the die a half second after I die, if I'm lucky) or, my favorite, Hammers of Sol doing absolutely no damage whatsoever. An issue that didn't crop up in that video in Supremacy, as well, is that Crests just straight up won't get picked up half the time. I've stood on a crest for a good 10 seconds before, until a teammate shoved me out of the way and picked it up instantly. No, this isn't just my internet, awful as it tends to be. Immediately after this game, I went and played some of the Infinite Warfare beta, what do you know? It went perfect. I played maybe ~20 games in total, and I only experienced lag once, and that was at the very beginning of the match where I just sorta slid around in a circle for a few seconds before everything stabilized. After that, I was free to go on a rampage with that lovely little burst fire rifle you start with, I forget its name. And as another example, I can play Overwatch on my PC and average 50 ping with the American servers, when I suspect I must be getting somewhere between 200-300 in Destiny (obviously I can't tell precisely, this is just a guess from prior experience with shooters and high latency.) Seriously, what the hell? I already don't enjoy Crucible, considering the dumb, overpowered shotguns and obnoxious combos like smoke + voidwall grenades, but I'd at least like a fair fight. I can smoke a guy rushing me with his god roll Matador 64 with my own god roll The Waiting. That is, if the server gods are paying attention and notice that I hit him at 5 meters with every single bolt, well within my effective one shot kill range. I'm not the only one with experiences this awful, right?
