Fix your damn matchmaking

I'll preface this with saying I know I'm not the best at the game. I expect losses if I don't give it my best, but I've been good enough to consistently get to the Lighthouse when Flawless was required. But holy -blam!-, does this feel rigged/broken. I just got the same team three games in a row. All 400+, Tier 4/5 gear, a three stack of absolute sweats when I was running in a duo queue with a solo player, all of us with Tier 2/3/4 gear at best. We reset our card on every loss but this team was able to farm three wins off of us in a row - a team that we had clearly no business playing against with a skill gap that large, and the Trials matchmaking should not have kept matchmaking us with that many wins on their card while we were on fresh resets, either. At the very least it should've given us different teams. Twice in a row, sure, ugly coincidences happen. But three back to back matches? Know the studio is putting fires out left and right but they've been of your own making, and you can add Crucible to the list. Because I'm not going to be kind about this. It's been an absolute shitshow since Edge of Fate dropped with the Health/Resilience changes knocking formerly competitive weapon perks/archetypes completely out of rotation and now the matchmaking very obviously picking winners and losers, "50/50" win/loss rate be damned. I should note, this -blam!- extends to Competitive as well. I have not won a single match in that mode going on two weeks now, dropping me all the way from Gold 2 to Silver 2. Doesn't matter how well I do as an individual player or how close to the meta I tweak my loadouts. I can already see the "git gud" comments coming now, and respectfully - -blam!- off. My performance is solid enough to win my 1v1s, I always make a point of playing to my team/objective but that does not matter when the enemy team is a 3 stack of absolute sweats tearing apart randomly matched solo players. Having three people with comms and top of the meta loadouts converging on the single one left alive is not generally winnable much less survivable for the overwhelming majority of the playerbase. Objective only makes this worse if the other players are trying to fight these teams solo. That isn't a reflection of skill, it's one of luck and should have no place in a competitively matched mode.
