PvP matchmaking seems to have dramatically improved? (Destiny)

The first week on Xbone there were occasions of really long matchmaking times. It would either take minutes or never find a match. The. There was that early update and thing went back to normal.

As for the quality of the matches / games... I think it’s been more or less fine. Some blowouts, sure, and I think maybe the more teamshooty nature of D2 magnifies the advantages that coordinated teams get, but I’ve had a lot of close games. Probably more close losses than close wind, but a spread of 10 or maybe even 20 points can be the result of one mistake or one clutch play so... trying to remember that... I try not to take the losses too hard.

Haven’t really felt any substantial change in the last week or so though. If the PS4 in particular was suffering more from hangs and crashes that could conceivably affect your “instantaneous” matchmaking population and lead to longer waits.
