Why are our XBONE 6-man fireteams so bad? (Destiny)

MY THEORY: I worry that playing with people spread out all over the West is hurting our competitiveness.

During IB I have been seeing much worse lag as a whole when running a fireteam of 6. I do think part of it has to do with the distance between our fireteam.

I'm in Kansas, Raga is in Texas, North is in a shed in Alaska, Beard is in Portland and then add in some other people to the mix and out locations are spread all over.

I know this isn't the end all reason. But I seem to have better matches when running by myself or one other person compared to a fireteam of 6.

I don't know how prevalent lag switching is, but it's possible you could be going up against opponents using less than above board tactics to win (I don't imagine it will go away with ToO).
