I’ve been noticing this as well. Ur not alone. In all the matches I lost recently, there’s always people who are decent/average at the game on the enemy team. Meanwhile for my team, I’m stuck with people who are GR 4-5, are using low stat armor, builds that don’t make sense, etc. Just last weekend in Comp, I had a teammate who was GR 3-4, had little to no mods, and was using Monto Carlo as his main weapon of choice. My other teammate was more decent, but was GR 5 and had low Light gear and weapons. The enemy team? Glorious/Flawless titles (glided and non-glided) all around. It was pretty much set in stone with what happened next in the game. 😑 If Bungie wants people to engage with ANY Competitive mode (including Trials), then they [b]HAVE[/b] to not just look at balancing solos/duos against 3 stacks but also to lobby balance the room. Its not fair for average/good players to get paired with people who don’t know how to build/shoot a gun while the enemy team has people who DO know and are your skill level or better. If Bungie [i]wants[/i] people to carry low skill players in mid/high tier lobbies, then spilt up the bad players on BOTH sides. That way, the game isn’t as set in stone and both sides have equal chances for “hero moments” and good plays against each other. Shaxx claims on the mode’s flavor text that you’re supposed to “seek improvement with your peers”. If he only means with the enemy team and NOT your own teammates, then what’s the point of the mode? 🤷🏿‍♂️
