It is an issue that is far beyond the range of skill levels playing each other..
The games weapon pool is so far out of whack that finding a place in PvP is beyond punishing until you except the very shallow pool of viable weapons.
On top of that issue is the free damage buffs that lead to easy kill perks that then leads into a match being snowballed into the messes we currently have.
What it takes to get a viable build/load out to go into PvP, AND while you have to give it your all, is brutal unless you are just highly skilled.
Then the cherry on top of it all..
Gaming is about muscle memory, reactions and approach.
When said mode is never refreshed, maps are stale and the op meta keeps changing…
You have players that do not even have to be looking at a corner to pick up an easy kill. They just know where players are at all times and prefire if they see red on the radar.
100% this game is beyond brutal on new or returning players and I honestly never see it changing.
And as bungie keeps putting more and more paywalls in this game per the loot…
I would never recommend this game to any friend of mine that used to play it.

Hmmm. Yeah, I see what you mean, it's a multifaceted issue that goes beyond matchmaking. I do think there are definitely more viable free to play weapons than there were at one point though, so that's a plus.

There are viable weapons… but then again, according to skill… and even then, adept versions give slight advantages per this games mechanics. If you have a base matching smg or hand cannon against an opposing player but theirs is adept and have boosts in every stat column .. Range is your pickle. Be it that it is minuscule, the better the range, the better the aim assist. Aim assist lowers the skill needed. Usually higher skilled players have the adept versions. The better the stability, the less flinch a player takes. Referring to the new or returning players that have yet to get these versions of weapons… in a thin viable weapon pool.. the fight is not just “up hill”… it is a vertical climb up a shear cliff. Adept weapons are behind paywalls.(mostly. Some nightfalls are free to play) That is my point.
