Crucible seems to be rigged to keep us at a 40%-60% win ratio

Unlike in D1, I find myself to always caught in a losing match right after I get a crushing win. Happens everytime, literally. Even friends that I have mentioned this to have said the same thing happens to some of their games. Anybody else notice this? Most of the player base that I look up have 40%-60% win ratio. It's rare that I find a player with anymore or less. Regardless how good or bad they may seem. This has begun to kick in really hard since SBMM was put into the game. Edit: to go into more detail, this is about gameplay manipulation. To the point where your asking yourself in gameplay: "How are my hits not registering?" "Why was my grenade canceled out despite me throwing it before I got shot down ?" "How has the other team caught up by that much in such short time? "What's up with my head shots registering as body shots?" Etc...manipulation is the key word on this topic. What are the little things that cause us to stay around a 50% win/lose ratio? I'm sure the answer should be clear now for those who have just read with out giving the topic some thought. To those who understood right away, thank you Edit#2: wow, this is trending. Was expecting more hate to be honest. I'm surprised.

    It's called the law of averages. Most players are going to be in the middle in skill with not huge differences in overall skill level. That's why a 1.0 is an average kd and why a 50% win-loss is an average win ratio. It's why if you flip a coin enough times, you end up with around a 50% ratio. This isn't rocket science and 40-60% is to be expected to be the median in any sporting environment with smaller numbers at each extreme. But keep pushing conspiracy theories I guess, because Bungie isn't rigging the system this year to make sure top players never have to play anyone near their own skill level. Which btw, skill in matchmaking looks to give both teams a closer to even chance of winning, not to manipulate your success. Going into games with one team having a 90-100% chance of winning before a shot is fired isn't good game development. Thanks.
