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!

  • Happy to see players wanting to get better. Other than playing in private matches or public match, I just recommend watching over your own gameplay and watching some of the top players gameplay. Start zoning in on their game sense and slowly start to copy it. Look at what they are using and what counters what. Learn when you should use a super or hold it longer. When to peek or not, or back up when they die and leave you in a 1 or 2v3. And then watch more and more and find any flaws you might see and incorporate the fixes. Now ofc this all won't help over night, but I can guarantee you'll be better than you are now in a few weeks to a month after doing just this.
