Matchmaking - Just Off and Unbalanced

I love Destiny. Let me start off with that. But Crucible, Iron Banner, goodness, I wish you'd take a page from game systems that work. Whatever algorithms you're using to matchmake people is just not working. I'm just going to stop playing PvP all together (unless a quest requires it). During this Iron Banner, teams have been so lop-sided, at least 7 or 8 times now, Saladin's called the match. And when you look at the stats after, winning team has their lowest players having 15-20 kills higher than the losing team's best player. Each time, every single completion of a CALLED game is the same where the winning team just annihilates the other. 100% each time, Lopsided stats. Either clans or big groups are tying your hands, or you're just not splitting the teams up right, placing evenly ranked players on opposite teams ensuring a balance, or simply not doing good at getting a true player's ranking and matching accordingly. If you even have rankings. And if you say the rankings is their level within either Crucible or Iron Banner, and going up levels puts you at a higher rank, WOW! That's be just terrible. Even sucky players can grind their way up to eventually resetting. Take a page from golf for instance. To have a PGA ranking, you cannot even have one until you've played a minimum number of games. That gives the ability to see your real playing style or abilities and averages. And after that, your games count! If you're having a bad day, it actually affects your ranking, as it should. You don't seem to have any type of ranking at all. And if there is, it is so vague that no one has a strong handle on the "This is how bungie matches you against someone else." methodology. You folks say you want more players playing Osiris. You want more playing Iron Banner. But this matchmaking process is just awful. And your answer to play freestyle (or whatever you call it), that's just not good enough. Give us your formula (high level overview) of your process. K/D? Kills per match? Averaged over time? What? Know one knows. And if they do, wow, this is bad, man. Just to be clear, I really LOVE Destiny. But I've never, ever enjoyed crucible because of your matchmaking process. Been with Destiny since Beta Destiny 1. Some might say I'm complaining because "He must suck" (36 kills highest, 20-24 kills per game average; except when teams are lop-sided)...but because it is so inconsistent. Please fix matchmaking and player rankings. Then allow us to see who we're playing, meaning their rank, so if we get wiped, we can at least say, "Ahhh, yea, look at his ranking." But us who just cringe at needing to play crucible just cannot handle getting man-handled each and every game. Sorry. Been bothering me for years.
