Crucible seems to be rigged to keep us at a 40%-60% win ratio

Unlike in D1, I find myself to always caught in a losing match right after I get a crushing win. Happens everytime, literally. Even friends that I have mentioned this to have said the same thing happens to some of their games. Anybody else notice this? Most of the player base that I look up have 40%-60% win ratio. It's rare that I find a player with anymore or less. Regardless how good or bad they may seem. This has begun to kick in really hard since SBMM was put into the game. Edit: to go into more detail, this is about gameplay manipulation. To the point where your asking yourself in gameplay: "How are my hits not registering?" "Why was my grenade canceled out despite me throwing it before I got shot down ?" "How has the other team caught up by that much in such short time? "What's up with my head shots registering as body shots?" Etc...manipulation is the key word on this topic. What are the little things that cause us to stay around a 50% win/lose ratio? I'm sure the answer should be clear now for those who have just read with out giving the topic some thought. To those who understood right away, thank you Edit#2: wow, this is trending. Was expecting more hate to be honest. I'm surprised.

    Ummm... yes? This is how matchmaking in any game works that isn't just connection based. If a game constantly puts you against opponents of roughly the same skill-level, then OF COURSE you'll have close to a 50 % win-rate. If you improve, you'll get matched against better players. Most games have some version of this in most of their playlists. This is completely normal, I'll never understand why only Destiny players make such a big deal out of it. This isn't "rigged" or "forced" 50/50. If you get matched against players of your skill, you'll generally win as much as you lose. Imagine thinking this is some sort of conspiracy, Jesus Christ... EDIT: So some people think there is ACTUALLY a conspiracy in which Bungie "rigs" the game while you're in a match so you lag more or more of you bullets miss etc. And honestly, if you believe that... you're beyond help. You probably also believe they faked the Moonlanding or 9/11 was an inside job or somehting.
