It was me too.. my K/D ratio is 8 to 0 (deaths to kills)!
So WHY am WE being placed with Opponents with 2.4 K/D and WHITE SHIELDS? When most of us can't even aim fast enough and read the RADAR map?
This is a Serious question that really needs to be addressed by Bungie. Don't you agree? Nothing against the people who are Bad-Ass at PvP and Crucible. But I want to play! I want a fighting chance.
There is something Definitely wrong with the matchmaking (I think that's what they call it), and I honestly feel for those players complaining about bad players can spoil it for them. We are all in this thing together and we should not be...
The good Bad-ass Career PvP players don't deserve to play with us as much as We don't deserve to play with them.
So why are we being paired with players with impenetrable WHITE SHIELDS?

There's something occasionally wonky, since I've stood face to face with a guy who's had the identical gun/level/etc and one guy will die, the other one will barely/not drop shields. I suspect matchmaking will improve in the real game, since the Crucible ranks won't be slowed down to lock off content. And thats probably how it matches.

You can't filter out skill levels and strictly going off k/d would eventually normalize the playing field and you'd still be stuck with the wannabe MLG players.

Not if your average is for the last 5 matches. it will bump up, if your in equal terms and progressing. And your forgetting it's not just one map. It's many maps on several servers.If you consistently place high scores on your K/D, you get bumped to a new map with players with higher rank K/D. If you place low in the ranks, then you get bumped down. What it does is separate the Really good Career PvP Players into maps with other really good Career PvP players, and conversely the same with the Wantabees. So 0.00 - 0.99 K/D player group, 1.00 - 1.99 K/D player group, and a 2.00 - 2.99 K/D K/D player group. As your average K/D gets closer to 0.99 you start transitioning to the next group. It also filters out the true Awesomeness of Career PvP players starting a new Character from the wantabees. So Yea, It levels the playing fields just enough to keep everyone challenged at their skill level. So the Awesom Career PvP players don't have to be worried about some NooB Nerfin things up!

Everyone has the white shield I think.

Noo.. I die too quickly. Usually one shot.. I've shot at someone with a White Shield (Little white bar above their health) practically emptied a clip and nothing. I think they are won in a PvP match as a reward for being Decent-Ass.
-
I've never seen anyone without it. Unless you are in the iron banner events then pvp is balanced out and doesn't rely on your gear
-
I was wondering what that bar was.... I have same problem... dump a mag just to drop it down before any health is taken off. I'm sure headshots would help if I could aim better. ..
-
The white shield is approx 3/4 of the health bar that you have as "health". When you go in the red that should be your actual health I think. If you do not bring down the white shield, then there is either serious lag, hacking, or bad aiming. Just play the game more and you'll get better! I would suggest aiming at the upper body because recoil in this case would help you a little, as ur line of sight on the target would usually constantly change with the constant barrage of bullets you launch at the opponent. Use your weapons more in order to know how to compensate for the recoil and you'll improve in no time :) Good luck Guardian!

thats happened to me quite a bit too. im guessing lagg. as thats really the only main reason ive died so far..
-
Sometimes a shield doesn't drop or stops dropping due to lag. I have noticed this on certain players at random times throughout a match. It is not extremely common, but happens enough to be annoying. It has me a bit concerned, but maybe it's just a beta thing. The lag comp also leads to plenty of situations where players die late or around corners. Very odd hit reg delays.
-
Well.. The Lag is not entirely working in my favor..
