I've never played with a bigger bunch of cowards. The meta crutching is so sad in this game it's laughable. I've never seen a player base so scared to stray from the meta and maybe risk losing a gunfight here or there. An endless stream of crouch walking hunters who occasionally stand up to slide at you with a shotgun. If it's not meta then you pretty much don't see it on the battlefield. So many good and interesting weapons to use, but if you're not running a shotty, a cheese 180 hc, or a bygones then you are pretty much handicapping yourself. Not that you can't do well with other weapons but oftentimes it just feels like a chore. The devs do nothing to curb this trend. Apparently no one cares that there are five or six weapons that are used 90% of the time in Crucible. What that says to me is that the pvp dev team has failed. Completely. When there are full stacks of players running shotguns on the most wide open maps in the game, that means that devs have failed at their jobs. But as long as the streamers can run around wrecking with meta guns who cares right? Matchmaking is genuinely pathetic. We have connection based matchmaking, yet the lag is so bad it's like you're in the Matrix half the time you're playing. So instead of skill based matchmaking where I can play against lagging players who are at my skill level, I get to face stacks of sweats who are lagging anyway. The Crucible is a failure. On the shoulders of the people who play it and the people who made it.
