I've made this a separate post as most of the comments in Cozmo's original post isn't compiled with feedback and hopefully this will draw attention and get recognized.
>90% of the the time I can never find a match in rumble, skirmish, supremacy and rift unless it's the daily.
Can never ever find a match in classic 6v6, classic 3v3 or any freelance playlist.
If zone control or mayhem is not the weekly but still available, only can I very rarely find a lobby.
Any match I do find which is not the daily takes on average 3-7mins to find a lobby.
40% off lobbies I'm put into are hosted from other countries like JPN, US, EU etc (I'm in Australia)
This means more than enough matches consist of many yellow and red bars.
This is also means damage not registering, players teleporting and everything else that comes with lag is frequent.
The Australia lobbies that I do find are generally all green bars, maybe only 1-3 red bars depending on the playlist.
I know the matchmaking for trials is different but lately it seems even worse. More matches consisting of red bars and getting matched with teams from other countries.
No one should forced to wait 5mins on average for a laggy match or to eventually be mongoosed.
Then when I do eventually find a decent connection match that isn't super sweaty you break up the teams and I'm back to square one.
Overall the matchmaking is still terrible, at least for me anyway.
I don't know if it's the lack of players or the matchmaking is still way too strong on the skill base side, which is personally what I think. Being from Australia (not as huge player base as US) and in the top 1% probably doesn't help either but [u]can not justify what I've said above[/u].
What I've said above is of no exaggeration and what I deal with whenever I play Destiny.
I've attached a video for some examples.
How is this acceptable to Bungie?
How can you say "We will also be looking for lower-latency matches for longer than before. Essentially, this puts a stronger bias on connection quality, with less emphasis on skill matching."
I can't remember the last time I played a 6s playlist which consisted of all green bars.
Please just go back to whatever the matchmaking was before TTK.
p.s I was able to write most of this up when I was waiting in orbit for a match :(
Edit 1: I forgot to mention I have friends in Australia that aren't in the top1% nor are they noobs and they can [u]usually[/u] find good connection lobbies quickly. This goes to show all of this isn't happening due to lack of players or lack of players in AUS.
