I would say I definitely feel the inconsistency implied by [quote]"skill-matching and potentially connection-matching to fail"[/quote]. The handful of times I've played off and on this past week have had no middle ground. Yesterday, and 6-7 days ago, the matchmaking was good and the games were competitive. 3 days ago, every match was 5-6 stacks against solos. It is really the inconsistency that is bothersome. Getting one 5-stack out of every 10 matches would be expected. Getting a full fireteam game after game after game is tiring. I would say overall the following two matches had the best matchmaking of what I've played recently, and would hope to see the system lean toward whatever configuration played toward creating these lobbies: https://www.bungie.net/en/PGCR/1952052050?character=2305843009267298048 https://www.bungie.net/en/PGCR/1983077724?character=2305843009267298048
