Ok 1) This is a clear troll post, so I wouldn't take it seriously (the tags bru). 2) It is a simple fact that playing in a fireteam boosts people's KTDs because better than half the time your matchmade against randoms who have literally no chance. It's worse in the IB. I legitimately suck at PvP (those joke stats are actually pretty close to reality, lol), but I enjoy it. I also uniquely play solo because frankly playing in a group is artificial when you're not going to get matched consistently with groups. Bungie also need to face the fact that without ranking there is no 'entry point' in PvP and no place casual or bad players can play and not just get stomped constantly. That's probably the primary reason that threads in topics like these are so divisive, even though they are clearly joke threads.

idk man i usually end up doin iron banner with randoms i still do ok. Plus of course having friends with you is better. that is true for any game. How many competitive games you know where the teams dont have communication chemistry and map movement down to a science? In fact i am looking for a team to do iron banner this time around to see how its like to have a full team running maps for a long period of time

It's possible to do alright in Iron Banner solo. But you're going to do less well than you would in a dedicated practiced team of six vs. Uncoordinated randoms thrown together by match making
