if you're new to gaming, then i'll give you a pass on this one. let me explain how things work in regards to matchmaking. they can match us based on connection, or they can match us based on skill. they cannot effectively do both at the same time. one has to be prioritized over the other. by prioritizing skill, connection goes out the window as a determining factor in matchmaking.
and just an fyi, "kid" is just something everyone says. but you do fall into the stereotype i stated above which refers to people that are not very good as being the chief supporters of skill based matchmaking. if you continue to play only people at your skill level, you will never improve. if half of your games consisted of being thrust into games with people whose skill was on a whole other level, improvement would be much faster and more severe.
above average players deserve to dominate bad players. just like pros deserve the right to dominate above average players. it's the circle of life, bro. survival of the fittest, if you will.

I appreciate the tone of your reply. It's nice to see that people can have different points of view on this forum without name calling. I understand your point of view and the technical issues you talk about. I've read a lot of this and other threads about this problem. While I am new to gaming I'm not new to Destiny having played for a year (if that makes sense).You must have not read my fourth sentence. My skills are not going to get any better no matter who I play with. I have always advocated playing with better players to increase your skills. I was fortunate,as a young man, to play basketball with an elite group of former college and professional athletes ( one of the was Tim Wilson , Earl Cambell's blocking back with the Houston Oilers). After adjusting to the speed of the game I was able to participate regularly without embarrassing myself and my game got much better. I just think that SBMM benefits the majority of players. I play with 40 year olds who don't go to the Crucible and very young players who don't go to the Crucible because they can't compete with the elite players. ToO is even worse. What's fair about giving us Quests and Bounties we can't possibly accomplish? It seems Bungie favors PvP over PvE. Unfortunately Bungie doesn't share their numbers with us so it's not possible to draw conclusions without facts. I hope Bungie will ignore most of the numerous suggestions on this forum about changing the game. I have some but I'm sure they wouldn't fly so I'll leave it to Bungie to design the beat game they can. I think they have done an extraordinary job.
