If you don't PvP often, I'd expect you to get lopsided matches like that because it's a part of his SBMM works... When you play your first round of PvP, the system doesn't know where to place you, if player skill is ranked from 1 to 10, it doesn't know if you're a 1 that's just about able to aim a grenade throw or if you're a 10 that can grapple a thrown-strand, ride it half way across the map and obliterate all opponents with a super. For your first round it may pitch you against a team of players around the 6 or 7 mark, and if you get obliterated by them, it'll match you against a 5 or 6 group, and it'll continue until it finds the group that you destroy. At that time it'll bump you back up a bracket to see if the previous round was a fluke. SBMM isn't going to find your perfect match after 1 round, it isn't going to find it after 10... It's going to take hours and hours for it to get a proper idea of where you fit on the skill scale. What Bungie should do is introduce a clear and visible skill display, a 1 to 10, to show you where the game currently has you pegged within the SBMM framework.
