It could also be the whole "skill for that week" thing. If you've already gone flawless who do you really expect to end up playing?

I went flawless. And now every match I have is a team of three player who have gone flawless this weekend as well. Every loss had at least 1 or 2 players with stats similar to or greater than mine. Which is an issue, because my teammates hadn't gone flawless yet and weren't as good as me. Granted, I play like crap on Bannerfall because I hate Bannerfall, but something is clearly going on. All this does is push for a 50% win rate, which makes going back up from 1 win to 7 require a stack in the flawless pool. It's ridiculous. You should only be in the flawless pool of your current card is a flawless 7 win card. Edit: Very weird. Solo queue seems to make it easier. Until you get an AFK/sabatoging blueberry. Had one solo be AFK and one duo leave, leaving me in a 1v3 against a team on their flawless game. Two games in a row I had teammates who sat back at spawn on my game six. That should get you banned from the playlist as far as I'm concerned.

It was like that before this season so why cry now? I forgot, bungie spoiled people with the new matchmaking, allowing solos to be farmed so you expect easy matches now

Flawless pool is turned on on Sunday
