If you noticed, I dealt with the issue of lag and match making times separately. The idea of sbmm is good but it needs a bit of work to deal with the other issues. What this does mean is that people who benefit from manipulating their connection (lag switching) to win will be in the groups with the higher skilled people. Maybe the lag you are seeing is just the fact that you are matched with more cheaters I rarely see cases of lag when I play. That's is one of the benefits of being a pvp scrub If sbmm does help bring more people into the crucible, you may find this helps reduce matchmaking times and Bungie can use connection as a secondary feature and the lag times will reduce. This will take a couple of months as the new scrubs get better and get matched against people with better skills
