I concur on skewing. (Destiny)

If your team has a really quality Crucible player in it (like it sounds Zero is) it'll skew the matchmaking towards that person's skill level. I actually find I play significantly worse when running a full 6 players because of this. I get the most even matchmaking when playing solo to probably 2 other players. I really think the full team thing skews the competition quite a bit.

All anecdotal though, and just my opinion. I got no stats to back it up.
