How can I actually improve at PVP?

Hello friends! So, here's the thing: I'm 37, with a kid (baby daughter who is my whole world). I don't really have the time to sit down all day and just straight-up [i]play[/i] for long sessions anymore. A few hours in the evenings is all I really get, but that's just the reality of getting older (it'll come for you, too, kids!) Check out my crucible.report and you'll see my stats. I'm not the worst player ever, but I'm painfully average. I have my moments where I can clutch that 1v3, but it's inconsistant as hell. I'm basically looking for a very streamlined approach to improvement, if you legends could help. As an example, one thing I recently noticed upon reviewing some gameplay is that my peek-shooting from cover was a bit rough, so I went into a patrol and practiced, then after an hour or two of humping cover to get the candence right, I was able to head into some PvP and practice it against actual human players (still a ways to go, but progress. Yay!) Are there any 'movements' or 'actions' I could practice to be a more valuable teammate? Rumble used to be my go-to for practicing my 1's, but the playlist is all but dead. Ideally, I'd like to hear from those players with 1.5/1.6+ KD's, but at this point I'll take anything lol. Thnaks lots, people! Have a great day :) EDIT: Some fantastic replies so far. Thanks to all who have commented! Keep 'em coming!

  • I started by having fun with one of my friends and stealing her kills by following her then shooting over her shoulder. I play trials a lot and you can learn maps and paths to take by following the "fast teammate". That repetition helps in that regard. using meta weapons helps but you also have to have go to weapons that work for you. Yeah Redrix is king but I also have had good success with blast furnace and or Rose w/explosive payload. I tend to practice on fallen, helps trying to land headshots. My last tip would be, hey I'm not the fastest around the map, so I'm better letting the opponent peak around the corner so I can land the first shot, landing the first shot is key for me. If I can get there before them great, but there's some fast players out there.
