Iron Banner is full of idiots

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?

  • I totally agree. Half these ppl playing iron banner seem to be most interested in the bounties rather than winning. If u suck at crucible ur gonna suck worse at IB so stay out so the rest of us can actually win once in awhile. Just cause u have been playing since beta and have a grimore of 2925 does not mean u will be good at IB. I have seen more 0.3 k/d in the last two days than i want to see ever again....

    • Im not even want to grind for the spear. I realy want that gun but i cant motivate myself enough to grind trough it. Its so boring. Way too much lag the time between games are way too long sometimes 4 minutes. No matter my score i just dont like it.

    • Last night I had a level 29 with a 2.49 kd and 27 kills. It's not even really about skill, it's all about who has what connection. Last night I watched a team mate, who I thought just sucked up until then, nova bomb three people on the enemy team (it was a good hit too) and he didn't kill one of them. I also at one point went down and he came in and shot the guy that killed me, you could see the guy flinch because he was getting shot, but his health/shield didn't drop, not once. I really don't think that IB or crucible, or hell, Destiny is a place to test your skill. The way the game operates is just too unstable to handle pvp, or any multiplier at all.

      I often play by myself and do okay. I am no great pvper, but know when to defend and where to attack. Have gotten 3 toons to rank 5 the last 3 iron banners.

    • This is why you built and practice with a team before the banner week gets here lol You have a friend list for more then raids people. Get a damn team . Talk to each other. Stop using op weapons just cause you think they will up your chances of a win or getting a kill. Stop capping the third location if you already have two lol. If you don't run positive don't expect to win many iron banner games . I only search with full teams and rarely do we have a problem unless we run into a better 6 man team. We laugh and get excited when we see randoms searching alone on the other teams . It's almost always a for sure win. The problem is just as much you as it is your teammates if you're searching alone.

      • It is no different than any other game mode. The majority of players on this game are useless.

          Right about most except shores of time "pitching tent" comment. The team that holds b and c is the winning team plain and simple, and I have saved many team mates from specials and A zone heavy ammo rushes from the tunnel in front of c zone and cave in front of b. It's a vital tactical spot. The lil spot at A zone where you can jump up and camp, snipe that small area in b zone, now that's stupid and pretty much anyone who hangs at A zone waiting more than 20 sec is useless unless it's being atked and you can pick up some kills.

        • Yeah the scrubbiness is painful. I played one round of IB, joined late, I'm rusty as hell, and still went 27-13 just to lose :/ But I really want the helmet for my hunter so I'll probably try to get a team together on here to run with. If you're on Xbone my GT is LL Sorbin LL. Follow me and I'll add you when I get off work.

        • it's also super laggy because of all the bad kids flowing in from other games just for iron banner and overloading bungies servers. there's no rewards in iron banner worth the aggrivation and grinding unless you cant get raid armor to get to 32. i wont be in there wasting my time

          • Yah, played it last night with my 2 buds, so we had 3 randoms and we were constantly carrying the team with each of us having 3,000+ score while the randoms strayed below 2,000- score. We really need a PvP team, so we can go with a full fireteam, but most of our friends from school have quit Destiny, or don't like PvP.

          • The lag is real. In IB with no lag I can easily get between a 2.0 and a 6.0 k/d. With lag it drops down below 1.0 some games. Unfortunately I only get maybe 2 or 3 games in a row that aren't laggy as -blam!-. And then it's 5-10 straight games of garbage connections and teleporting/non damage taking enemies. The frustration is immense.

            • I lose most of my games because I play solo mainly and at least... AT LEAST half of the team goes negative. I average 2.0 so I usually sit at the top of the team but these scrubs are awful!

              • The only issue in it is that it seems to lag more than any other Crucible game mode out there. It's like all of the players with poor connections flood the mode in an attempt to get to Lv32 as nobody wants them in the Raids lagging around everywhere.

                • I dont get why people get mad at collecting a medallions. You get the rank exp back when you win. Its only annoying if you were to collect 5 medallions & not win the 6th match as the max medallions is 5. So that would be when you start missing out on the exp points. Thats never happened to me though, ive gone 4 losses & then won the 5th match. Got all the "missed" rank exp back, sure it came in over 500.
