The skill based matchmaking in Destiny 1 made trials and regular crucible 1000% times more enjoyable. Destiny 2 isn't fun and pvp has always been bad its impossible to have any fun playing this terrible game when the only people who play have 200× flawlesses and 2.0+kds. It's a joke to even have pvp at this point. When the game was launching they said they wanted it to be closer to a actual competitive shooter and its the furthest thing from a competitive game now.

Seems like you're misremembering how matchmaking worked in D1, but either way, stricter SBMM is NOT the way to get more people into PvP, or to make it more enjoyable for the ones already there.
