Oh matchmaking... (Destiny)

I don't feel like you were alone, I think a ton more people were leaving games and re-queueing this IB compared to what's happened in the past.

It wasn't bad, and wasn't great for me this time around. Unlike you, I played 40 games and won 20 of them. It was crazy streaky though, usually when I won I won 3+ games in a row. When I lost I lost 5+ games in a row. I did ~9 daily bounties overall, and wins helped carry me through. Won more than lost with friends, other than a lucky bad streak with cruel where we went 6-7 games in a row at a loss. :/

I also don't love the way the drops are handled. I got 2 drops -- a class item at rank 2 on the 2nd day and then some boots my last night playing (Saturday night IIRC), I was almost rank 5. I bought the pulse rifle. Unclear if I will be playing tonight for drops or not... I had hoped for more along the way.

I hit rank 2.5 on Wednesday, then didn't get further until Saturday, where I completed 2 weekly bounties and 3 dailies all at once, and skipped up to rank 4.5, skipping rank 3 entirely. I think partly because of this at least 30 of the 40 games I played were below rank 3, which likely affected my drops.
