I initially didn't go into Iron Banner, but once my normal bounties were done I jumped right in on my Titan at 33 1/2. There was very little to no difference in the way my first three matches went. I found myself with teams of people and won all three matches. The damage ratio's were well placed all around and I didn't really have an issue killing anyone at 34 or 32 due to team shooting. Later on, I started to lose a few matches and quit out of others when I realized my teammates were making errors I knew to avoid indefinitely. The power differences were as expected. 34's who consistently hit me killed me unless I had a range advantage. Mida-Multi Tool was my primary for most of the day 1 Ion Banner. I got all the IB bounties done and called it quits... I think around 10 matches and netted the rank 2 I aimed for. The only real differences I see is the way players were going about IB. For one, they really stay to significantly high portions of the map with hand cannons and others with scout rifles like myself stick back and kill anyone brave enough to turn the corner. Team shooting from anyone almost guaranteed death + assist which accumulates quickly. Damage falloffs were an expected 11%, but that doesn't mean anything to me when my target can't hit from distance. I feel that was appropriate considering the encounters I barely walked away from. From my 33 status, I found killing 32's was far too easy. Even with Mida headshots, only 4sk? I get that it needs to be powerful at 365 to kill something, but the damage falloff guarantee's someone's death if they come around an expected corner. I'd say give them a little more boost. Make it so they are dead after 6-8 body shots is what I think should be done. Mida fires on a hair pin trigger. It doesn't need to necessarily kill that fast when it already has a speed boost and players who use it are smarter with their map movements... After doing lvl 34 PoE, I finally became my 34. This is mostly day 2, but as a 34? It is scary how fast 32's fall. The damage ratios are definitely high. I almost felt like a knight major in CE facing a lvl 31 in terms of damage. It takes 2 more headshots I think? Yeah, once I picked up Thorn and went in? You can't kill someone fast enough who is self aware of the map surroundings. Facing 33's? A well met challenge. Damage ratios are solid across the board. I even found myself going back to mida until I saw another thorn user killing me. Then I switched to thorn and went to town. So yeah. I like the settings presently. I just think 32's could do with a little more resistance to damage from 33's. 34's are set in stone good if they know to watch their radars. Besides that? 34's are dying, which is good, and are not completely powerful to kill an entire team, but can kill two 32's relatively easily.

Comcast said nope to Iron Banner

Hello Deej, I have a complaint regarding the Bounty where you have to get 10 kills without dying during the Iron Banner. It is too difficult especially when Thorn users are running all over the place. Example: Just as as I need at least 2 more kills to complete it, a Thorn user comes by and immediately starts firing at me. After killing and surviving from him, the Thorn's poison kills me and I have to restart the bounty over and over again. I have no real problem with other guns, but it is the Thorn that bothers me the most, especially the poison effect it deals on players. Please do something about it. Thank You!

Iron banner in three words. LAG and THORNS. If destiny is going to rely on peer to peer connections for 10 years, you guys should just give up now.
