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.

Necrobump

Try out bad juju on your warlock supremely fun loadout
-
Yeah I had a few matches with mostly <20 players. It as the most fun in crucible I've had in a long time without Exotics.
-
I played 2 matches on control today, only encountered one thorn and no TLW. Even though I was using Universal Remote
-
I got one rank 5 one rank 3 and the other will be rank 3 when I hand bounties in. To be honest only thing that has bothered me is a bit of lag. Like not being able to open ammo chests or hits not registering. Having one of my best runs all IB at the min as a titan defender using mida lol
-
Ya, I jumped into the featured crucible for one game to get the osiris coin and not a single person was above level 20 besides me, so if by refreshing you mean nobody good is playing and you can dominate then definitely
-
Iron Banner represents the worst of Crucible. Constant lag, awful map rotation, imbalanced spawns, tiny weapon variety, the list goes on. I have won a single game is over 10 matches because the game keeps putting me on losing teams mid match.
-
I can't imagine grinding rank 5 on all three. I played a substantial amount on my free time since Tuesday and just got rank 5 on one character this morning. Lol. Also, wish I would have known that rank 5 only grants access to one etheric light...makes sense for it to be like that, but I grinded hard yesterday since I thought you could buy as many as you had glimmer lmao. My bad. Looking forward to regular crucible now...time to use my Suros :D
-
I know! So many low levels too haha
-
I think there should be a No Exotic Weapon playlist.
-
Yeah I've been using NLB all week and I've also only used that in iron banner to
-
Perfect time to do thorn bounty.
-
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.
-
Lol yeah I always tell my friends to play control when ib is up, and then skirmish when trials is up
-
Yeah I did the glitch to buy stuff I hate Iron banner
-
i dont endorse nerds, but they really need to bring up other weapons in line for variety. sadly this was never a common thing ever. there was always a "flavor of the month" weapon in destiny. i feel pulses r up there with hand cannons but hand cannons currently just have better perks. scouts are great as well, but they fall victim of same thing as pulses vs cannons i think bungie needs fo work on perks rather than dmg. altho for autos they need to work on both
-
There should be a mode without supers!
-
I just played a game of Iron Banner where everyone was using Thorn or TLW with a high-range shotgun. It was not fun at all. I didn't do terribly and my team won, but when everyone uses practically the same loadout in a game with tons of different weapons, it just isn't fun. Really hope that weapon rebalancing comes soon, it would be stupid of Bungie to wait until TTK to release it.
-
"Try hard weapons" LOL NLB is a try hard weapon
-
Can I ask, what are you all playing IB for? Personally I cant contemplate even bothering with IB this month since I have almost all the loot
-
I honestly don't see how you guys/gals get Rank 5 on three characters during IB. I'm recovering from surgery, therefore have a lot more spare time on my hands than usual. That being said, I'm only going to get one character to rank 5 before the end. Granted, I'm not the best PVP player, but still.
-
Ahaha yea dude beat my record an got 55 kills. Mmmm stomping noobs

Did the same thing iron banner has nothing to off me anymore. Maybe the next helmet but I like TDB helmet.
-
I cant say the same i expected it but everybody i matched up were using the same weapons as usual. So i was pissed on and got off. :D
-
I should probably have been doing the same. I was just playing a few games of IB using NLB and suros (flicking between upgraded and non-upgraded versions). Wasnt doing very well at all.
