So after the new patch rolled out, I tried to play some crucible, and all I can say is: "wow, this is the worst connection-based experience I've ever had in a shooter".
I played 5 matches, and in every match, there was [i]not a single[/i] person with a green bar connection--everyone was yellow or worse.
I assume this has to do with the new damage referee, and I figure that it must also mean I've been chosen to be among the people who are forced to suffer having a bad connection by being placed with similar players.
Only here's the catch: I have really good internet. I'm wired into my router and get down/up speeds of 110/12. So why am I being put in these horrific matches? Is that really not a good enough connection for this new 'damage referee'??
I guess I'm stuck playing stale PvE content since the crucible is now unplayable for me...
EDIT: To all the lovlies calling me a liar and a hater because I only have one game in crucible recorded yesterday, I remind you aht I have more than one account, and I went on both to see if the problem was limited to one...

It's pretty obvious that Bungie has taken it upon themselves to throttle individual connections(somehow) in an attempt to artificially keep the games close. It's really no different than point shaving in field sporting events. Skill as been largely taken out of the equation for end game results. They have failed miserably.
