PvP is horrible

Every game is nothing but ability spam, invisible hunters with low and shotgun or camping the back of the map with Crimils Dagger. Sidearma and smgs are pointless. Every time you pull out a sidearm, it's instant death from shotgun. Buff auto rifles and sidesrms.

  • The sidearm and smash part sound like skill issue, I have had no problem with sidearm and smgs.

    well we cant talk skill if we can't understand & account for connection quality / cheating / and just odd ability to shoot while invis (crackedness of some crap) when that is accounted for - as we go into matches assuming the best - I find sidearms to be ok.. the principle is of course you keep distance or you pay.. for sidearm vs shotgun rusher you are extra aware of the radar.. you backpedal (at angle not straight) and its why I keep 100 void boop melee available as a warlock that likes sidearms. when I'm caught (the enemy has gotten too close) I'm still shocked (and I know it might be lag) when I time my evasion correctly to the shot and it still hits.. I feel that timing should be rewarded and shotguns are very sticky on target when close.. I'm actually say jumping over the dude their shotgun is firing level.. I mean I'm looking down over the enemy pointed god knows where and it still registers a hit? But they have 1 ammo... so I dont know tricky balancing act and I have started enjoying using shotguns myself on small maps (a very select few) on autos I take those out on bs maps (wormhaven, cauldron..etc) and they do well and are fun... I don't relish a time that autos will be meta again... but they are being slightly buffed on Tuesday (High-Impact & Precision). My most effective right now is Sweet Sorrow (craftable and good for long or short protection on big maps).. I also have these that perform well: horrors story, werewolf, scathelocke (see XUR), breakneck (funnest to fire)..I have a Riposte (DSR + Zen + Range MW + smallbore + high cal).. to me it reads like a godroll and just kinda dislike it for now

  • SKILL ISSUE, if you die from shotguns before pulling out a sidearm this mean you are bot walking, but i agree void hunters while not broken is very boring to not see something different

  • If you're dying before you can pull out the sidearm, it's a skill issue (positioning). If you're dying after you pull out the sidearm, but before you can get some shots off, it's a skill issue (positioning) If you're dying after you mag dump, it's a skill issue (aim) There seems to be something in common between these...

      • Come to PC lobbies where if you play on MnK bungie hates you. Controller is so overpowered on PC its stupid. They finally give reticle friction to MnK players on marathon to balance inputs, where on destiny 2 they just hate MnK players and buff controllers and weapons for controller through the roof.

      • I have a theory that there’s no longer a casual Crucible player base. It’s either hardcore’s/content creators and PvE players who are just there for the weekly drop. This is not a healthy population. It’s why I think we have this whole “you’re either the cannon or the fodder” thing going on in crucible right now. Also, the Byzantine p2p connection system isn’t helping.

        • Pvp is just fine. There are counters in the game that people are too lazy to utilize, including some really old builds buffed. One counter specifically involves ace of spades. Dont have to spell it out for you surface searchers.

            Yeah man. It's the worse ever. But not what you say, it's lag. Destiny 2 pvp has become unplayable, because of extreme lag.

          • Sidearms beat shotguns lol you are just being outplayed. Fusions yes, shotgun still has to close the gap you should easily win with a sidearm and distance. Sidearms are like mini last words rn

          • Played a lot of pvp yesterday the only major issue I've seen is RDM with last word that combo was melting everyone I didn't encounter too many redrix like I thought I would and I was using tricksleeve and Hawkmoon.

            • Or insta death from fusion. Or you melee someone 2x and they don't die but they get one melee in on you and it's lights out.

                • The issue with pvp is that people are incapable of just playing it for fun. So people treat this PvP mode in a game that's mainly PvE as if their life is on the line if they don't run the meta builds. Destiny unironically has the worst PvP i've ever played in any multiplayer video game in my life. The most brainless things are always meta and everyone just runs around barrel stuffing with shotguns. It's mindless gameplay.

                  Just asked someone to stop cheating, then they admitted to cheating and said they won't stop. Hilarious that Bungie will do nothing about it.
