Changing matchmaking did close to nothing when there aren't enough players online to form a good match.
I've been running into people both well out of my skill band, and people with terrible connections.
We need more people to play PvP, and you need to give them an incentive to stick around.
I'd start by giving new players good loot so that they stand a chance against more experienced players, but I'm no expert in this.
I just know we need more people to play PvP so that matchmaking will put people in fair lobbies.

The older I got, the less competitive I got. I just don’t play PvP anymore. The exception is this game and only if there is a weapon I really want. Which has just been occasionally iron banner and trials. I often wonder how many players just wouldn’t ever venture into PvP if there wasn’t a weapon they wanted.
