Interesting Side-note (Destiny)

I personally don't believe skill matching actually works. When I play in playlists that supposedly feature it I regularly get my *ss handed to me with a side of fries.

Does this usually happen when you are running with other DBOers?

I know I have noticed a... notable... difference in the quality of my opponents when I am in a fireteam with certain people. There are one or two people I play with on a regular basis that particularly seem to have us matchmade against higher-quality opponents the minute they get in the party. I believe Bungie still relies heavily on their own hidden "true-skill" ratings for each player when skill-based matchmaking is involved, and it seems to only take one or two people with a high true-skill rating to make a drastic difference.
