I had a game where my teammates were 0.4 kd and 0.5kd. The enemy team? 1 had over 500 flawless 1 had 200 flawless 1 had 300 flawless Even Destiny Tracker (or Trials Report I forget which one) said based on the teams, team Alpha had a 100% chance of winning the match. The elo ratings were so different between the teams, Destiny Tracker literally claimed it was impossible for me to win no matter what, with the teammates I had. This is how connection based matchmaking works. So does card based cause any sweat can verse a new player on the lower number of wins. Idk why Destiny Tracker (or Trials Report) can be so accurate on chance of winning a match based on each person's elo and stats, but after 9 years Bungie can't for the life of them make better and more balanced matchmaking that the dumpster fire it always is. I believe, though, that it is a matter of choice not ability. There is already so many established methods of matchmaking but Bungie never sticks to Skilled based because of one reasons. That is Streamer and content creators hate is. They hate it because they can't match with way less skilled players and boost their egos and look better on videos. They claim however that "there is less people at the top so matchmaking takes too long". Regardless the reason, Bungie is not off the hook for the fact they choose a handful of Streamers over hundreds of thousands of players preference. But I mean, it is based in America, they believe the top 1% should have all the power while the other 99% should be ignored.
