Is PVP matchmaking always this bad?

I don't play PVP and I really only do it when there's a good PVP-only gun to get. I am getting curbstomped, and not just me. My entire team of randoms gets completely thrashed by what I can only describe as Seal Team 6 taking a hot steaming loaf onto the lobby. Why can't Bungie get me someone that won't turn me to a fine mist?
