I am tired of carrying people in games. The constant pain of collecting medallions over and over again due to useless scrubs. Now, I don't profess to be amazing at PvP as it isn't my sole focus, but I can usually hold my own in a match. What I am finding is the sheer number of clueless -blam!-s who run about capping the nearest point, or rock a 279 damage weapon. Save that shit for normal PvP, don't roll with crap gear, stick to the guns you are proficient with.
Under level 30? Don't bother mate, stick to normal PvP. Don't be afraid to step out of your starting area and actually go on the offensive, or maybe cap B for once? That tent you've pitched in the bushes on Venus isn't helpful. Don't sit at the back of the map with a sniper rifle in the same spot every game and not get a single cap, I shouldn't have to carry you, and if you are near a cliff edge understand this; I will push you off. See that heavy ammo spawn? It isn't all about you, wait for your team to get to you unless the enemy are close.
Basic map knowledge. Most people seem to be about as useful as a chocolate fireguard in this department. Learn the maps, the fastest routes and where the bottlenecks are. You are no good to a team if you don't go out and explore the maps. Use your grenade to funnel players down a different path, and for -blam!-s sake as a Warlock stop using Fireborn. Got a fresh piece of gear from Xur or the Nighfall with no upgrades unlocked? Take that shit elsewhere my friends, Iron Banner isn't the place to make a fashion statement. I know your Praxic Fire looks pretty cool but you don't have the unique upgrade unlocked so GTFO!
Who else feels this way?
Edit 1: Lets vent our Iron Banner hatred and get this trending!
Edit 2: So for this Iron Banner week my aim is the Efrideet's Spear sniper rifle, which has some pretty nice perks as standard. What are you all aiming for this week?

Thing that pisses me off the most is when people just don't know the map and grab the wrong point. I never remember the names of the maps but I will say this: If you don't know what points are good and bad for a specific map. DONT CAPTURE A. This can literally screw your team over and make your 3000 lead disappear in seconds. I can't even tell you how many games yesterday we were leading the whole time to lose in the last 30 seconds because of this.

Had a team where 3 were sniping while the other 2 ran around with shotguns only. They handed them free kills because the snipers missed every time, and the shotgunners died before they'd even get in range....
-
One of my friends was using his 28 titan yesterday and was top of the leader board in most games. Under 30s can still do well.
-
Yeah I got annoyed by all the shotguns in one match so I just sat down in the middle of the map. Only died twice after I did that.
-
Randoms do the dumbest shit. They screw up the spawn control every match by playing stupid, cowardly, or both.
-
Please stop having Thorn/Las Word wars... Keep it up and Bungie will roll out the hand cannon nerfs (see auto rifles).

Make some friends or make some space in that a$$. Simple choice.

1 ReplyAlmost Every game I get I'm the only one at b, and once we get it my team mates can't grasp the fact that you don't kill to win in control. I see kids running around while our control points being captured and doing NOTHING to stop it

2 RepliesI hate how no one knows how to play the objective. They need to have a separate iron banner for all the clash players

1 ReplyHad a 27 in two games I played last night. Once on our team and once on the opposing team. He went 4 and 29 between both games. I don't know how that could be enjoyable. We did win both games however. Close finish when he was on our team and we smashed when he was on the other team.

4 RepliesJust give me IB Clash. I swear, over half the people I play with have no idea how to play Control.

3 Repliesyou seem to forget the carebears .... the ones that never leave your side and just cant seem to stop hugging you when your getting shot

Alot of idiots

2 RepliesCarry people? Thats funny with your cute kd. Oh and two hunters lol kill yourself.

Im a scrub, and i love iron banner. :D

Bounties are to blame for most of this behavior. The 10 kill streak bounty gives 100xp (without buffs) which is a lot more than winning a single game. So people camp in hopes to complete this bounty, winning is only secondary

1 ReplyDude, I have over 501 the best around medals out of 800+ victories across my characters. Now that's being good. Can't go around being angry. Find a group to play with and have fun.
