I believe Bungie gives everyone slightly easier matches in pvp for the couple games after a brief hiatus. I've looked at the games I play after taking a short break of let's say a few days to a week.(I used to be a daily player) and the percentage that I was predicted to win was quite high a vast majority of the time. My buddy notices it as well. Kind of like bungie is trying to entice you back into your drug of choice by giving you a free sample. Thats basically why they introduced sbmm - to entice new players or old players that had put down pvp. But I digress, I know that was a huge tangent on something you briefly mentioned, but have you considered that? Or perhaps the lack of stress made it easier to focus sorry, it was just bowl thirty for me lol.
