I'm prolly 8 hours a week into Destiny 2. It really demonstrates how frustrating the matchmaking is.

I'm in a "clan" of 100 people. Most days I'm the only person in my clan playing. D2 also rewards you for PvP a lot more than D1, which means I play a lot of PvP. I'm not good - not by any stretch. But on off-days during the middle of the day I win more than I lose, and I kill more than I die. But boy howdy. Wait until the weekend.

My wife was looking at the Playstation and it said something like "5%." She asked what that was. I said that was the percentage of all possible trophies across all the games that I've played. She whistled low and said "who cares about that stuff?" and I said

"The people I play PvP against on weekends."

What really sux is when there are a whole bunch of low-ranking, unskilled guys and you get thrown in with like three Level 4s to "balance things out." And it's like "I'm about to get teabagged a lot." And they aren't all running teams of 4 with mics and scuf controllers but enough of them are.

And yet I keep playing because on some days, I'm not the shittiest one out there.

I dunno. Cheaper than golf, I guess. But when you're with a bunch of people who don't have any concept of strategy you can really tell when you're against people who do.
