I'm not a particularly skilled player when it comes to Crucible. Do you know how I can get better? By playing against others that are as good as, or better than, I am. Pub-stomping doesn't improve anyone's skill set. Being challenged, does.
And quit using lag as an excuse to complain about SBMM. Use lag as a reason to demand dedicated servers.

Dedicated servers are not coming to the game, so that argument is never going to fly. It would have needed to be implemented at the start of the game, so the only hope for dedicated servers is for Destiny 2. As for SBMM, most logical people don't have an issue playing people of similar or better skill. The issue is when the game searches the ENTIRE WORLD for your opponents. Great, the game found us an equally skilled team...............in Kuala Lumpur! We're so equally skilled, that neither of us are landing bullets because they're flying right through us. Matchmaking needs to have a reasonable balance of connection & skill, with more weight paid to connection. At least if the connections are even, now it's a matter of skill. Because when connections are bad, then skill won't matter at all.
