A Little Tip for Those Who Are Asking for Nerfs.

{Important edit} I'm looking for smart, mature, and skilled players. I'm looking forward to making an elite team for 3V3 gamemodes. Currently this is only applicable to xbox 360 users. I've played with the best before, however now, I'm making the best. If you are interested please private message me on bungie.net. whether or not you will get in is dependent on your experience with the game. Hope to see you guys soon, now back to the real post. | | | Here`s a tip for those of you who are complaining about the so called "meta" in Destiny. This helped me big time in achieving my own ranking. A bit of backstory, I used to be a 1.1 K/D player. I could never go flawless, I could barely play on my own. I would go around blaming my deaths and losses on everything that is of cause. Sadly, there are still tons of players who are like this. Here is a little tip that hopefully you guys can follow in order to stop yourself from getting "tilt". __________________ Every time you die, or miss a kill, you can never blame it on the gun you are using or, the gun they are using. Same goes with abilities. You are dying [u]purely[/u] because you are not thinking ahead. This game plays more so on skill, rather then what kind of guns you`re using. If you go around blaming something other then yourself for your deaths, you will never admit to your own mistakes, blaming the Game will never alow you to improve, rather you will not know where to improve upon. I could go into the crucible with any kind of blue weapon and still play relatively good. Why? Because this game is all skill/hand-eye coordination based. This game requires concentrated practice. Similar to playing the guitar. Your fingers will just feel uncomfortable and sloppy. With concentrated use, you don't even need to look at the guitar to know the chords. Just an added note, you won't play as good with a blue weapon of course, but you won't be having bad games as long as you concentrate on playing smart, and safe. The meta in destiny currently is relatively balenced. If we keep blaming the game for our own mistakes, we will likely cause a new nerf due to complaints. A new nerf will only make for a new meta, and so the cycle continues. If you ever want to get good at this game. Never, blame anyone or anything but yourself for dying or playing bad. If you do so, you will never recognize your own mistakes. as a result you will never improve in whatever is causing you to die. blaming the game will surely put yourself on tilt, which will only result in digging a hole for yourself... _________________ [b]WE DO NOT NEED NERFS, WE DO NOT NEED CHANGES, YOU NEED TO PLAY SMARTER TO COMPETE AGAINST OTHERS. [/b] [i]Isn't that what PvP is supposed to be....?[/i] _______________________________________________________________ [b]EDIT #1[/b] [i]Thank you all for the support! I love responding to you guys, and I've been getting some very great praise. If you guys are looking for more information, feel free to look at my responses to other people. You may find your answer there. [/i] [b]EDIT #2[/b] [i]As of now i've responded to every single comment. and boy there are some long ones, i've been typing non-stop straight for these couple hours. I'm doing so in hope of helping you guys! You`re welcome! :D[/i] EDIT #3 This is currently the top trending post. I'm glad that I'm getting so much support. For those of you that need help in the crucible, I'd be happy to give private lessons online. If you play on the Xbox 360, message me, if I get to you, I will quite possibly help teach you in PvP. EDIT #4 Hey everyone! I made a new community for those people who need it. It's called The Light Of Legends. If you are interested in joining, it's completely open. Just go into my account, click the clan I'm a part of, and join. We have 25 members as of now. Hopfully we can largen that expensionally.

  • Literally just started using this to show people way I mean..... "It isn't the guns fault you died, it's that you allowed it to kill you" Pretty much sums up most of what you were saying regarding anticipation of your enemy etc. Good post all in all! Gg man!

      • [quote]Why? Because this game is all skill/hand-eye coordination based. This game requires concentrated practice.[/quote] I always believed that this is the [i]second[/i]-most import thing. The most important thing is positioning/strategy. Start fights where you have the advantage, where you can take cover if you need to. Approach the enemy from the right direction, at the right moment. In modes like 3v3 (Trials), this has an even higher impact.

        • Shotguns do need a buff. 7 nerfs and removing a perk seems a bit excessive.

              [quote]This game plays entirely on skill, not what kind of guns you`re using. [/quote] This isn't completely true. When it comes to weapons that are a part of the meta, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to beat them using guns that are not part of the meta. Let's hypothetically place two Guardians of equal skill into an arena. One's using The Last Word and one's using a blue Auto Rifle. Let's just say it's the Galahad-E which is a moderate rate of fire gun. [b]Galahad-E[/b] Fastest Possible TTK: 1.20 sec [b]The Last Word[/b] Fastest Possible TTK: 0:26 sec This statistic completely disproves your statement above. Is it completely wrong? Of course not. A bad player with The Last Word could very well be outgunned by some random blue, but in an ideal battle with two equally skilled players, it would be statistically impossible to outgun the Guardian with TLW. Playing the meta has been statistically proven to net you more kills and better games than not using the meta, so you're both right and wrong. The game plays on both the meta and the skill of the player.

                great post. but there are some issues, namely lag and broken melee hit detection. Arc Blade, scorch and blink strike are obvious issues. People teleporting around makes the game annoying. I was playing trials on memento where connections were ok for the most part the entire match. its 4-4 one guy left on their team. zone comes up, my teammate is covering it with a sniper, I'm positioned to self rez near the zone. Enemy jumps in, teleporting side to side (all of a sudden he's a red bar) and is nearly impossible to hit. gets the revive on his teammate near the zone. I'm watching him teleport and I'm totally dumbfounded. I forget to self rez till the opportunity is passed lol. This isn't the only case where stuff like this has cost matches but it was pretty funny.

              • I can't imagine the venom and/or salt you are getting from this. Normally, I'll be a troublemaker when I see a headline like yours but its actually refreshing to see someone take the proper road to the topic of nerfing. I'm not a PvP player since CoD MW2 but I completely agree.

                • My KD is shit. And I mean absolute shit. I play for the fun. Hell, sometimes I just run around with a shotgun and see how close I can get to people by rushing and risking. But when I play hardcore I usually go positive. Sure the thorns aren't fun, but it's not something I can't improve on. My friends get so -blam!-ing salty when we lose and I don't understand what's wrong with losing. We're here to have fun, right? It's not like our souls are at stake here. So just chill. And play the game for what it's meant for. [u]For DLC[/u] Jk. Fun.

                  • Well said. I will say that "sometimes" the gun makes the difference. Like, a last word or a doctrine of passing both have very fast TTK, and a slow firing scout or pulse would be at a disadvantage at all but long ranges. Not arguing, just stating that sometimes the guns do matter, as a whole I agree entirely with this post, and think that criticizing yourself one of the best ways to improve your pvp game

                        • Anyone calling for nerfs are the reason this game is going to fail. They're going to drive away the PvE and PvP players.

                          • I definitely agree with your statement, even as someone who has a .94 kd, (still trying to git gud). However, for many players who do not have the time, or who do not put in the effort, some combinations will seem op to them. The problem is that some players do not have the tools to solve the problems handed to them. If you're a casual player, and you consistently get blasted down by a last word user who knows how to maneuver the map, it really does seem broken. If you don't know how to adapt your strategy and you keep throwing yourself at a challenge that you cannot win, then a gun seems op. Also you should make YouTube guides :)

                                  I agree to some extent however, the weapon you're using can greatly alter your experience in the crucible. Back in y1 I could go in with the un nerfed vex and melt faces. I didn't have to think ahead at all. Some weapons are blatantly better all around then others and in the higher tier of players you put yourself at a disadvantage using certain weapons. Does this mean the higher performing weapons need nerfed? No. I would prefer that the under performing weapons be buffed. Either way there are and probably always will be outliers in terms of weapon choices and being the better choice for all around engagements.

                                • Because of the nerfs this community has asked for hand cannons are almost worthless, auto rifles (for the most part) are still awful, sunbreakers hammers are now a joke, and the list goes on. You people need to learn how to adapt and play the game instead of whining like little entitled babies.
