Had a chance to play a bunch of iron banner games post matchmaking change. Solo queuing, so no international fireteam connections to deal with. Gotta say, the first two I played were great, solid green bars, all kills and deaths felt legit, no teleporting or invincible player bullshit, almost no obvious lag related kill trades. I was impressed, and, maybe, just maybe, having fun in the crucible again.
Then after two stellar games, I got skill matched out of that player pool and back into the same trash we had before, full red bars, some yellows, and no one better than half green. Trades, lag teleports, players not taking damage...all the horseshit that has dragged Destiny through the mud for me lately.
Really wish they would drop skill based matchmaking altogether, and just go pure connection. I don't care if I get stomped, as long as my being stomped feels like I was outplayed, not out lagged.
