Combat Rating & Skill Calculation (I predicted this would happen)

I realize that there's obviously nothing that can be done about this now. I'm really just venting, screaming into the void... but it really kinda sucks. Back when Bungie announced that they were making it so that completing objectives would start counting more in skill & combat rating calculation, I predicted that it wouldn't be great for players like myself. I'm a player that is better at completing objectives than being a slayer. I predicted back then, that it would cause the combat ratings of players like myself to raise, and then start putting us into matches with higher skilled "slayer" type players. And I'm finding that that is happening. I've watched my combat rating slowly creep up, and just in the past week, I went from a Top 30% player, to a Top 29% player. And I'm afraid if it keeps up at that rate, I'm going to be playing in a higher skill bracket than I should be, which will completely defeat the whole purpose of SBMM, and I'm just going to be getting destroyed all the time. It makes me feel like, maybe I should stop completing objectives, to deter this from happening, which would be unfair to my teammates, and also defeats the purpose of playing objective based game modes, which are the ones I enjoy most. It feels like a real "Catch 22".
