I dont really enjoy playing iron banner because of the competitive factor. Mostly because I mainly play pve. I am only really playing this season for a chance at a spike grenade swarm of the raven. But it really bums me out when I matchmake with people with terrible or manipulative connection. Or sometimes just straight up them being invisible. Sometimes I just get the "returned to orbit" BS when I'm loading into a match.
Iron banner is well known for it's competitive side which is perfectly fine. But it is also known for its bad connection since the modes conception. And for it to still be a problem today is laughable.
I don't write this in complaining about the mode itself. It think its fun and a good monthly event for destiny. But I wrote this just to simply raise awareness. That this mode has major matchmaking and connectivity problems.

Technically it's not just Iron Banner: all activities in Destiny 1&2 run on peer-to-peer, so you are always vulnerable to network manipulation by cheaters.
