The last two competitive games I've play, which I'm only playing to get the Recluse, have put me on a team of 3 against 4 people. Either fix your matchmaking system or make pinnacle weapons available through other means that don't penalize every player who can't always play with 192372198837 friends online at time.

Hey there! Unfortunately, there is not much Bungie can do about leaving players. A Competitive Match does not start until there are 8 players (this sometimes leads to long waiting times for players in a high comp rank). That means that one of the players, that was supposed to be on your team, left before the match started resulting in a 3v4 situation. As Bungie does not have a system like other games (e.g. Overwatch) that simply cancels the game when someone leaves, you are put at a disadvantage without being able to do anything about it apart from playing in a pre-made fireteam. Leaving players however lose their glory for leaving the match and can get a suspension for leaving too many matches.
