The reality is, Destiny uses BOTH sbmm AND cbmm
I see all the posts wanting to remove sbmm, but the fact is that Destiny matchmaking has always used both when matching players though they may weight it a bit more one way or the other.
There are a few things here that need to be understood.
1) Destiny matches players by region first. The reasons for this are obvious as players who live closer together will experience less latency when playing.
2) cbmm is great in theory just like sbmm, but it tends to be a lot more fun for one team than the other as matches are generally blowouts.
This may be an improvement for some as the wins are more fun, but it's something to factor
3) Even with cbmm, once you start playing in fireteams everything goes out the window. When you have players teamed up from different states and countries across hundreds and thousands of miles, there is going to be a lot of latency just within fireteams, so trying to then do cbmm vs other teams is going to be hard to do particularly when I think everyone tends to agree fireteams should face other fireteams (who will potentially have their own latency discrepancies)
4) People just have shitty internet and even matched cbmm, people are going to go red
I'm not saying that Bungie can't do better about trying to find a solution to red bars being at such an advantage and topping leaderboards, but going purely cbmm would lead to a whole different level of frustration on the forums

The engineers at Bungie who write the code are always exploring ways we can make your gameplay experience better. So, I agree with this sentiment, as well as the manner in which is was expressed. We can always do better. We're committed to always doing better. Mr. Sols here speaks many truths in his post. He's obviously followed closely the forum threads in which we've communicated our goals and announced a series of iterations to the matchmaking systems that bring you together in the Crucible. He has, on many occasions, led a constructive conversation on the forums about how he thinks the game can be better. We don't always agree with his opinion, but we appreciate the way he argues his point - so we're always eager to listen and pass along his thoughts. When I look at the Destiny forum today, what I see looks more like a formal protest. That can be inspiring. We provide this forum so that you can have a voice. My recommendation is that we use this space to explain our opinions, rather than starting and bumping the same thread with the same title. Tell us "why" you want what you want. Brute force is not how to win over the developers. Show them your side of the issue. The #Feedback forum is really where this belongs. Every week, Cozmo summarizes what he sees there and prepares a report for the development team. You've never had a stronger internal champion as a community manager, and that includes me. There are people at Bungie who listen to you. Give them something they can pass along. You are part of the conversation at Bungie. I'm not here to promise a Hot Fix in response to the conversation of the day. Our job is to keep the conversation going. When you meet us halfway, you get more out of that as a community.
