I would consider myself a fairly decent player, especially in Crucible, having a strong COD background, but oh my goodness. Me and a few friends try to play a trials match, and get demolished! None of us have ever been to the lighthouse, however it decides to match us with players who OBVIOUSLY have made it, numerous times. They have the legendary emblem you get from the chest. Why does it do this to us? We all should have a fairly decent chance at getting there, but if we only get put up against crazy amazing players, whats the point of trying?? I feel like Bungie needs to make a better matchmaking system, to put us up against people fairly close to our skill level, or SOMETHING! It's insane.
The matchmaking is weird, me and my friends are all good one of them is extremely good and we flawless 2/3 times a week depending on time, but we get matched with people we beat all the time we never drop more than one round, but when we do drop more than one we lose like 5-4 or 5-2 or something it's like there's no gap between the skills
