Where did it say matchmaking was skill based been trying to find it?
As if p2p wasn't bad enough you get paired with people that have horrendous latency.

Sparrow racing certainly seems to be skill based. If I go in solo I get an extremely competitive race. If I go in with a couple of friends that haven't done much racing I can blow them away. Back to solo and its nose to nose the entire race.

Edited by Killlerschaf: 12/18/2015 8:01:13 AMAfaik they didn't. However, a lot of good Reddit players started to check out to where and whom they connect, as games started to feel weird and very competitive. Guardian.gg then showed them that they mostly connect to people in the same Elo/KD range, while checking out where their connection goes, allowed them to see that they are now getting connected to players literally on the other side of the globe. They went further and then created new PSN/Live accounts, without any skill data on them. Subsequently, they got match made with people who allowed them to have 40 kills+ per game, with an obscene KD. Until a certain threshold is overcome, and those new accounts then get matchmade with similar KD/Elo players. So the proof itself is in the pudding. I do not remember Bungie explicitly denying or confirming this tho.

Wait, so this is why I've been doing slightly better in the Crucible again? Awww, I thought I'd gotten better!

I'm sure it's both :D

Ahhh so that's why i go against sweaties more often now. Kinda makes sense, hopefully if enough people complain they will switch it back to connection based matchmaking.
