I would like ranked & unranked playlists (Destiny)

Personally, there are times when I just want to jump on and have some fun and not be dropped into super sweaty matches right away. Having some non-skilled based matchmaking would be awesome for those times when you just want to relax and get your mind off of things.

For instance, I came home from work around an hour early this last Friday and wanted to kill some time playing crucible. Just looking to do some of the weekly bounties and relax.

It was either my first or second game of the day and I get dropped into this match.

Someone had quit out and because of Bungie's wonderful JiP I ended up in that match just after heavy had dropped and the other team was running around with their 2nd round of supers. When you look up those players you can see there was literally a 2.93% chance that my team would be able to win that game. I ended up just backing out near the end of the game I was so pissed.

If I was able to jump into an unranked playlist and that same game had happened then I could just chalk it up to bad luck. Instead, you have this SBMM that for some reason decided I was a good fit for that match.

I'd love to be able to jump into some unranked matches to get warmed up and then jump over to some ranked playlists once I was ready for some hardcore matches.

As it stands now, I'm having to stop playing with fun loadouts if I don't want to just get slaughtered over and over due to SBMM. No Land + Sidearm is no longer a competitive option. Universal Remote + Sniper/Sidearm is not an option. Right now I'm basically forced into the meta of handcannon/pulse + sidearm/icebreaker if I want to have any chance at surviving when running solo.
