The most blatant issue is starting a game 2v3, when there was never even a 6th person loading in. It just straight up starts the game before even finding a 6th. Dumbfoundingly stupid mistake, Bungie.
Then there's a SBMM, if it even exists, that matches me, with 40 glory, against a team of 3 people above 3500 all with not forgottens, while my teammates are both below 1000 glory. It's definitely not like I have a high ELO considering I've played about 3 comp games this season and probably average a 1.0 KD last season in comp.
Bungie, maybe you go back under Activision and have their other studios teach you how to create a matchmaking algorithm. This is absolutely inexcusable this far on in the franchise.

matchmaking is just one of the MANY PROBLEMS FOR PVP IN THIS GAME. really though, do yourself a favor and dont take pvp seriously. its just a gimmick to pad out game time. thats not to say that its a bad thing. its nice to have pvp but its been proven time and time again they dont know how to handle balancing. they only have done arena shooters (halo) destiny pvp is an entirely different beast. i dont envy them on the balancing for it and it will never be perfect, but instead of swallowing there pride and just say it, they let people believe they can do it and so people expect it. the next time you see a oem striker titan thundercoiled fisty boi, remember next time it'll be something new, something way more broken. and the cycle will repeat. its why they gave out emblems for prometheus lens and lord of wolves era's. they dont take it serious and neither should you.
