I'm a little confused. The common foe in Destiny has always felt cheap to me. Aetheon just decides not to teleport anyone... Crota's sword disappears... Most of the bosses in the game aren't super clever fights, they're just giant bullet sponges with hordes of minions. Oryx is, admittedly, the least buggy end boss we've met, but his fight is also an order of magnitude more challenging and complicated than anything else in that raid, which is - in and of itself - a little cheap.

Bad Teamwork, communication, and skill should be out common enemy in the game, not the game itself. That's a point that I think Luke missed.
Sammy and I played (and beat!) Black Ops 3's campaign on Realistic difficulty this past weekend, and the enemy is cheap by design (one bullet takes you down), and yet I can only remember two instances where we felt like the game was being unfair (trying to swim up from a deep tunnel while being shot at and avoiding mines that home in on you? A tad frustrating, especially since you're running out of air), but we still beat them, because the game didn't bug out on us, and we had many different ways to bring the enemies and bosses down. Contrast that with the Raid bugs and occasionally hostile loot drops. There's a big difference.

On the PvP side of things, the game is quite literally cheap, since lag-switching is so prevalent and advantageous of the switchers' team.

I don't really think this is a thing. Lag-switching has become the new "modder!" Cry across the Destiny world. Nobody ever has video evidence, but it's always the first thing I hear cried out the minute our team starts losing...
