I did not play the last IB because I was taking a break from the game, but I had played all the previous ones and had a good amount of success. I don't consider myself a God by any means at Crucible or Iron Banner but I'm usually a pretty solid PvP player. For some reason though, this IB has seemed, I don't want to say more difficult, but well....more difficult. I just can't seem to get a real good foot hold. I'm used to, the majority of the time, placing at least top three on my team w/ a + K/D ratio and a crap ton of points. But this IB I'm having a rough go for sure. I'm hanging around the .500 mark K/D wise loosing the majority of the time , and I feel most games I'm letting my teammates down which even frustrates me more. I just can't place my finger on it either. I have tried an array of different load-outs - everything from Mida, Suros Regime - Dealbreaker - Haakon's Hatchet - sniper rifles - shotguns - rockets and machine guns. I can't find that perfect balance of weaponry that I have been able to in the past. It seems that if I get on a roll, I get magically shotgunned from behind, I'm a grenade magnet, if I encounter an enemy in a one on one battle and I'm about to win his buddy comes and saves the day. I have been getting killed when I spawn more than I ever did before. Before the "Git gud skrub!" Comments begin to flow like water, this isn't a complaining post, it's just a simple question, and then an explanation of where I'm coming from, to see if anyone else has experienced the same frustration I have this IB. P.S - I LOVE the new Drop Rate for gear.
