You can win matches easily and think your skilled and then be drawn against some me with true skill who beat you. The matchmaking is Win base. The Matchmaking should be skill based. Everyone will have a good time then and it will make people less salty and reduce recoverys and Carries

Winning is a end result. It itself isn't what counts. Skill is required to achieve the win. Knowing what you did wrong that resulted in a loss is very important to resolve the loss an keep from losing. Looking at it all wrong if you focus on the win loss mechanism when what counts is what you did or didn't do in the singular match of each an every match. I have friends who always with out fail get to the tower, it's how you play. The more wins you get the more players you encounter who have the correct mindset to reliably get the win. You may get paired against a shotty team who only got to where their at from ignorantly playing (not actively correcting their mistakes ) who also won because of the mistakes made on the opposing team. But that's a rare occurrence when you get further into the win brackets because without playing skillfully resolving mistakes you'll lose more than you win.

Don't confuse talent for skill. I'm 49 years old. Aging guarantees that I will lose to a 15 year old of equal skill. His nervous system is simply younger and faster than mine.
-
Age or talent wasn't in question. Skill is how well you utilize knowledge of a game. Talent is just how easily it comes to you, never once brought up talent.

Yes but if your stronger than another team your just beating them. I consider winning beating someone of them same skill level. Let's say now if they split it into the worst 50% of the player base play each other second best 25% play each other then 10% play each other then the top 5% play each other [spoiler]sounded better in my head [/spoiler]

Right so saying someone who's a better player won because the other team sucks isn't based on skill. It's either based on skill or it isn't, saying team A is better than team B is saying skill is involved not the other way around.
-
Yeah but if your crushing the other team easily i feel like it doesn't exactly make you feel successful (me anyway) where as if I was playing a team of the same level and I beat them I feel good because I know I out skilled someone narrowly
-
You out skill them regardless of how easily or hard it was, the point I have been making is skill is always required, even if you slack off on a easy match you can still lose because of hubris. Also fair to point out that there are more players that are poorly skilled than there are very skilled players, if you pie charted the community I'd be willing to bet the % of players gets smaller the more skilled they are, my take on why bungie hasn't changed it or even set it up that way from the beginning. No one wants long que times just because they are better at the game.

Exactly. It's only a skill based win whenever you beat a team on your level. There's no skill in stomping kids you should never be matched against

Geez you're pretty thick aren't you ?
-
Nothing thick about w/l or k/d. You brought up 2.0 vs .5. You have to be skilled to get a average of 2.0 . It may be lopsided, one team may be less likely to win but you can't use a gauge of skill to say it isn't because on skill, else 2.0 or.5 wouldn't matter at all.

See you get it

I've been saying this since SBMM was removed from trials when ttk dropped. Removing SBMM killed trials for alot of people. Trials needs to be reworked in D2 . People that go flawless shouldn't be put into a pool with everyone else.
