Warning I’m angry writing this so English probably isn’t the best and it’s from a console perspective.
Brief paraphrase in case you don’t want to read essay: Crucible sucks and isn’t fun to play. I’m pissed about how hunters play specifically stasis, bottom tree arc staff, shatter dive, stompies, and glacial grenade while shatter diving. I don’t like how easy Arbalest and Lorentz Driver are to use. The Special ammo economy is still bad after the scavenger nerfs. Matching for survival and trials is terrible and needs to be fixed. Finally melees being inconsistent and doing zero damage occasionally.
Playing high end crucible in today’s destiny is hot garbage. You would have a better time slamming your tongue in a car door that playing survival or trials. Although trials isn’t currently an active game mode, I imagine the same problems in survival will only be magnified.
Hunters in general are a problem. If a hunter is not running stasis it’s most likely running bottom tree arc staff for the insane super and health reduction dodge. On top of that 90% of hunters use stompies which are a pain to play against. Especially when they are using shatter dive with the aspect that makes the glacial grenade bigger. Hunters having the ability to jumper up really high, higher than any other class/subclass in the game, and being able to slam back to the ground within a second is really stupid and broken. And on top of that when warlocks Phoenix dive, they are not allowed to slide 4 seconds after touching the ground. Hunters on the other hand can shatter dive, touch the ground and then do it again within a second. And with hunters being able to regain their grenade so fast, even in stasis, it’s really annoy to be shattered dived every fight I have with a hunter. The range that the big glacial grenade has when it gets shattered is really stupidly broken as well.
The next thing that really ticks me off in crucible is exotic special linear fusion rifles. There are only two in the game currently but they both piss me off just as much as any shotgun or sniper. The amount of aim assist and bullet magnetism that these guns has is really stupid. Along with it having crappy bullet functionality, the low flinch that they receive makes them better snipers when you add in the extremely low charge time. Other than those issues I don’t really have anything else to say about them.
Another thing wrong with crucible is the special ammo economy. I know they just nerfed special ammo scavengers pretty hard to try to counter act the special ammo problem, but it was not enough. Shotguns and sniper are still very prevalent despite these changes.
The final thing that really ruins crucible for me is how inconsistent both matchmaking and melees are in the game. The matchmaking in the game is mayhem. Survival is labeled as skilled based matchmaking when it plays more like connection bases matchmaking they way i get teammates and face enemy’s. Some of the time i get really good matches that are fun to play but more than not I will get crappy teammates and enemy’s that are cracked out of their minds. What’s a bigger a problem then matchmaking is how inconsistent melees are. 1/10 times you will miss a melee because it just doesn’t do damage for whatever reason. It is the most annoying thing when you are about to kill someone with your melee and it does zero damage and you die instead. This especially sucks when it seems certain things can activate this such as hunter dodge and titan stasis slide.
