The matchmaking algorithm in crucible and Iron banner is aweful. Numerous times Ive gone against a 6 stack (which is fine), but after a mercy loss, and Destiny "switching up the teams", Ive ended up against the exact same 6 stack, only difference is Bungie swapped out my good players for new light players. You would think they would take into consideration people in fireteams and single players, not putting a 6 pack against 6 freelancers.
1) look up the difference between CBMM and SBMM, the controversy behind both, and why CBMM was chosen
2) If you're tired of going up against 6 stacks, the obvious solution would be to enter a match with your own - problem solved
Really wish it would prioritise matching stack vs stack
The game actively seems to avoid doing that infact it seems the opposite is true
First day of iron banner the game tried to match me and 5 randoms vs 7 different teams… so those teams were all queuing around the same time but game kept matching them with random players
