Destiny pvp is trash lol. I'd love to see a good Destiny pvper be good in cod (or at least maintain a 2 or above) without radar, super that grants multiple kills and rechargeable grenades

Matchmaking is a rigged deck designed to create the illusion of competition. Let's look at your description. Day one- You play great and go positive winning various accolades and putting up great match performances. You lose a few matches but overall your performance is top notch. Day two- it's as if you have never played the game before. You can't get kills to save your life, you are spawned into enemies an exceedingly inordinate amount of times, and you begin to realize you are now on the receiving end of the ass kickings you were handing out yesterday. It's not an accident, it's not random, it's deliberately designed in this fashion - to take turns letting all players win and lose- by creating stacked teams of players of various skill levels when putting a match together. Ever wonder why you are constantly doing awesome but still lose becuase the last two people on your team got a collective 8 kills and 36 deaths between them? That's part of the algorithm that determines teams. The game reviews your performance, determines you are outperforming the average score of other players within your bracket, and then bumps you up to the next higher skill bracket. It will keep you here and run new metrics to measure your performance and after a set amount of games will reassess you average score compared to others and either keep you in the bracket or bump you back down if you perform poorly, or below the average. Would you like to wager what happens when you are bumped into that higher skill bracket? It's called day two of your story. You find yourself going negative and losing. Matches you win, you still do horribly, and you probably cost your team the game due to excessive deaths more than a few times. When you get bumped into that higher bracket you are there to lose, you have no chance of winning, you are there so the other team has there turn to win. Don't worry though, after about 4-7 rounds of getting pounded like a salvation army drum, the game will say OK he's had enough, and drop you back down to your day one bracket where you will get wins, kills, and generally have fun playing the game. Be careful though playing really well will move you back up to the shark tank quicker and you don't want that. Once you realize that pvp is a rigged contraption designed to throttle your progression and waste as much time as possible, and that your skill just doesn't matter when you are riding the merry go round of being put in games against teams that the algorithm has determined to be better than/ worse than yours at 1:1 intervals you will be alot happier. Pvp is fun to play about one or two days a week. Playing daily will leave you on tilt and in gamer nerd rage mode since you are constantly dealing with the " bullshit" and just playing one more round hoping you get that winning game where you get 30 kills and a dopamine shot to the brain. Pvp is a slot machine like the rest of the game, expect minimal payouts with the occasional jackpot, and for the most part, the house always wins.

I loved the pulse rifle meta. Great equalizer for hand cannons and scouts.

In Most of my matches in iron banner this past week I had a negative kd. I dunno wtf was going on. It was terrible. I hate this current meta.

I usually wreck, but there are going to be days when you're not in your moment. ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

What class do you main?

I think I'm better than my KD cause I was so horrible in the beginning. I suck at trials tho but am good in IB & regular crucible

I feel the opposite, based on trials.. however, i'm a decent pvp player but, seems when I play with my clan and a fireteam I get destroyed.. play on my own and i'm top of the board or close to it.. kd changes from .6 - .9 when in my clan fireteam to 1.5-2.0 when I play on my own.. I play no differently and the only change is it feels like what I am shooting when I play on my own, is actually really in front of me and I actually hit it, instead of in my fireteam feeling like what I shoot at isn't really there or taking damage at all..

My K/D is directly related to the number of camping snipers on the other team. The more they have, the worse I do. And I refuse to play that way, which is why I love Drifter.

I'm in the same boat as you. I don't get it. I'll have a great couple matches. Over 2 or 3 kd and then the next match I'll have like a 0.6.....it's pretty frustrating. The only medals I haven't achieved either are unbroken, seventh column, and we've ran out of medals

I consider myself pretty bad at Crucible. [i]Never been flawless. Never achieved a Phantom. Never been Unbroken. Don't snipe. Mostly run Defender Titan.[/i] But I try to be a team player. A solo...team player. Edit: Hug quota met. Much respect to my fellow lone wolves, but I'm pretty much just killing time till Dark Souls III and Mass Effect: Andromeda.
