Bungie's lies and cowardice with PVP matchmaking.
My ELO: -200. Yes, negative 200.
The other team's ELO's:
1512, 1410, 1021, 917, -blam!- and 361. Yes, 1512, 1410 and 1021.
This is common and TYPICAL.
Bungie knows that a 400 difference in ELO means that the superior player will win 90% of one on one engagements. With a 500 difference, the superior player wins roughly 99% of the time.

3 Replies1) Players have up to around 3000 elo... 1500 is quite low. 2) Bungie doesn't use ELO. ELO is seasonal and highly dependent on playtime. Bungie's MMR is likely more accurate (they have more data to pull from). 3) Bungie uses OUTLIER protection. In other words, a top player (2500+ ELO or MMR equivalent) will never match with a bottom player (500 ELO). You are an outlier, and you probably did / do not match with any top players. 4) The population is very low. Even at the best of times, SBMm does not work well. Advocating for stricter SBMM at this point in the game's lifecycle is an effort in futility and downright harmful to the health of the game.
