This travel time will not affect your gameplay, at most loading times for gear. Destiny is a P2P game, you are connected and synced to the other players on the same match as you, Bungie's servers only track what is going on for scores and statistics, every fight you have is determined by your connection to your opponent. That's why there's always that one guy that teleports too much, or the hits take a while to pop the numbers on one guy more than the others, it will never be fixed because it's not an issue, it's intended.
