You don't know how destiny networking works or how population affects connections. You can live in the virgin media headquarters plugged in to Richard bransons megabyte lines & if you match hector from Peru, the WiFi warrior who lives in a cave & plays on 0.0002mb chinese satellite signals YOU are going to see issue because that's how it works. You connect to every player in a lobby plus 2 bungie servers, so you have 13 seperate connections in a 6v6 game. Each will be different based on their connection & location. Then you've crossplay desync on top. Lower concurrent numbers means more widespread players means laggier 1v1s. It affects everyone, but some more than others. If you're in America you're probably getting the best of it, biggest population, if you're in the UK you're getting the worse of it, tiny island with oceans between players. If you're on PSN you're gonna be better off than on Xbox, there's 10 psn in every lobby so Xbox see 10 potential laggers, the 10 psn guys see 2 potential Xbox laggers. Just know, it affects everyone not just you, just more varied in how bad it is, & I suggest it it makes you this frustrated do like I did & refuse to touch it 👍 Watch battle nonsense destiny 2 on YouTube, there's 2 videos, he's a game network engineer & tests all games networking & netcode.
