Anyone else just steadily becoming a huge scrub in the cruciblé?
[i][b]Final Edit[/b][/i]: to give hope to all. It was another bad week for the most part. But I pulled it together and put a 9-0 card together with a 1.74 KD and two 1200 ELO players. I'm not going to say I carried, they were smart and listened to my advice, they pulled out some clutch first kills. It was one kids very first flawless. Made me feel good and gave me hope. Also made me realize you have to be compete scum to charge for a "carry"
A month ago I was consistently wrecking.
The past 2 weeks, everyone that snipes towards my direction has 127% accuracy, they never miss. Every primary (especially Grasp of Malok, Mida, and TLW kill me faster than phogoth on void burn)
Even in trials last week I had an abysmal 1.2 weekly KD, this week it's probably below a 1.0.. Everyone that shoots at me is perfect.. they could have a .3 trials KD and they are MLG aimbot pro when they shoot at me..
It's not even fun. It's not an exaggeration when I say EVERYTONE. It's like bungie has turned my bullets into feathers and put me in big head mode..
I was never a god, but I could more than hold my own (been flawless over 100x).. but the past 2 weeks (during IB and especially trials) I have turned into a traffic cone..
Anyone else in the same boat? And did you find a way out?
Edit: yeah its official, I'm a huge scrub now. Can barely go positive. Getting MLG sniped by the worst of the worst. I think it's time to hang it up. It was fun while it lasted. But I need to go find my thumbs, apparently I lost them a couple weeks ago.
Edit numero dos: [i]I had to add this because I find it just way to ironic.[i]
I didn't bring it up. Many of you did. But I experience the same thing! You'll go something like 30-8 and 6 of those deaths will be some MLG snipe from the same guy while your sliding or drilling his face with a primary or in a super.. and you think "man that guy is carrying his team he's a pro.." and then you look at the scorecard and he's one of the worst players in the lobby and all of his kills and points are from you.. [i]this is all too real[/i]

4 RepliesIt's not you, it's Destiny, and it comes down to 2 things. 1: Servers, Destiny's servers have been getting seemingly worse with every patch, which in the crucible translates to what i call "Handicap" where your damage is lowered, and your enemies is doubled (IE: Your Mida can take up to 6-9 shots to kill, where as theirs takes you down in 3) These are the games where you feel useless, because there isn't anything you can do...Skill is now out the window and no matter how many head shots you land, they WILL kill you before you can get them, this also causes 1 hit KO melee's, allows players to survive Supers and grenades, and is extremely frustrating to play..the Solution? Dedicated serves and a LOT of Net Code fixes 2: No Snipe counters, every time a nerf is placed in it doesn't balance the game, it only transfers power to a different type, with so many nerfs in place now there isn't anything to counter snipers, sure you can try and use a scout or a pulse rifle, but and half decent sniper is going to take you down before you fire a second shot. Games like Halo, COD, and battlefield have a few things in place to prevent similar issues, in COD and Battlefield a head shot is a head shot, so everyone has about the same chance at killing anyone with any weapon, and Halo has a scope kick, that removes you from scope when shot...Destiny doesn't have either of these and suffers for it... as i said before, no matter what method you use, be it scout, pulse etc...any half way decent player and you're done, unless you use a sniper of you're own..but that's not all, you add the above mentioned server lag, and now you're getting shot through walls. doors, and rocks....the Solution? Several...You can add scope kick via Halo (which i think is the best answer), you can add 1 hit KO head shots with all weapons, which would balance the hell out of the game but would make it play like COD, you can de-buff snipers to need 2 shots to the head or 3 to the body, you can add one hell of a flinch when shot using a sniper making it harder to re target, or you can add bullet drop and scope sway to snipers only..lots of methods to use...None of which will ever be done.. Just remember, it's not you, it's destiny (and if you're against that notion then you can explain to me why entire fire teams use the same weapon, or why Trials, elimination, salvage, 2v2 and skirmish are are snipe dominated playlists...simple answer is, it's cheap easy kills....)
