I've been playing Destiny extensively, both D1 and D2. Although I'm not the best player, I consider myself a PvP main. I enjoy spending most of my playtime in 6v6 modes. I dabble in solo Trials occasionally but find it slow and boring most of the time. Perhaps it would be more enjoyable with an efficient stack that knows how to push.
Here are my suggestions to improve the PvP experience:
1. Fewer modes: It makes no sense to have so many playlists to choose from. My suggestion is to have a single 6v6 mode and a single 3v3 mode.
2. SBMM or CBMM: With a declining population, better connection quality, and faster queue times are most likely the way to go. I don't mind slight SBMM, but it shouldn't come at the expense of connection.
3. 6v6 should be freelance: I feel strongly about this one. Whenever there's even a decent duo in the lobby, it throws the balance out the window. I believe 6v6 should be about casual and fast games. Freelance offers the best possible connection quality, the best lobby balancing, and the fastest matchmaking. If 6v6 becomes freelance, teams would populate the other 3v3 mode, breathing some life into it.
Thanks for reading.

10 000+ hours in PvP?!?! Dude. If you played 8 hours a day every day that’s like…3.5 years straight with no breaks 😳 Just…Why?
