Having reached ranked 5 on all 3 character last IB, I was pretty burnt out and straight up refused to grind again for this IB, and so up to this point I only did normal crucible when I'm bored or just finished up with a raid.
I have to say, the normal crucible right now it's like an amusement park on a cloudy chilly day. Very little people around, no line up, can repeat the rides as much as I want. I see very few try hards with thorns, TLW, red death, Felwinter, Party crasher, matador etc. I see people using auto rifles, NLBs, fusion rifles like the POE one. In general, it was very fun and I have the wiggle room to swap out my try hard weapons for weapons that I always wanted to try out like Universal remotes, monte carlo, fourth horseman etc.
I imagine this weekend is going to be even better as all the sweaty try hards it's going to be either in IB and trials.
EDIT: Don't be offended by my use of "Sweaty Tryhard", when I play IB, that's me. Sweaty Tryhard is simply the term I use to describe any one who use the best possible gear and weapon, best possible class loadout, and try their best to win every match.

Yeah, its pretty nice. I was doing Control yesterday or the day before and got my first Mark of the Unbroken. Shores of Time with MIDA and Praedyth's Revenge. Its funny how people still don't know to look around for snipers when taking C and B ;) Sniping is so much more satisfying than running in with a shotgun. I only got 17 kills, but Unbroken is Unbroken.
