I don't even run a sniper in the crucible anymore because of the added flinching since the April update...

Played for 2 hours straight last night, didn't see 1 Red bar the whole time. Games were smooth and evenly matched! It was great! [spoiler]This is not satire[/spoiler]

Thanks to the so called skill based matchmaking, I was matched against people from my own country who were obviously stealing internet connection from their neighbors. I saw people teleporting across the map, I saw people pop their super, disappear, then reappear dealing massive damage only to have them be completely invincible, saw people who apparently weren't moving but before you knew it you were on your kill cam as they teleported away... The best one was on Shores of Time, I was using New Monarchy's sniper, and I saw some random Titan coming out of A. I scope in, hit him in the head( his head literally flops on his neck as if it was ripped off) Guess what? Apparently he poped his super and stood there. Landed another Headshot, no damage registered. He then starts teleporting around the rock in front of A(were the special spawns), apparently now he's got no health at all and is throwing hammers that do 0 damage. By this moment, my brother is coming from the other side of A(the river) and starts shooting him as well, I pull my Hawksaw, fire at his head and the game counts the kill. The score for said kill is in my screen, and the kill feed already confirmed it. As I'm running towards my brother, he says "Dude, he's still alive throwing hammers in my screen". Then, I die. To a corpse who apparently threw a hammer before he died. The best part is that this player was allowed to play for the next 10 matches(because god knows why Bungo made it so that the game keeps matching you with similar players) He was still lagging, and he still pulled some really questionable shenanigans. Yet there he was, he had no problem playing. But God Forbid you get a tiny little lag spike because then the game kicks you to the title screen, you gotta reset the console and maybe your internet.

Played overwatch went to destiny and still love

Unfortunately the problem is not the weapons, rather the Crucible as a whole. The Crucible was never meant to be competitive but a fun break from PvE where players could go to duke it out and have a good time. However, what ended up happening is a small vocal part of the community starting crying because they wanted a competitive PvP experience not just one that is their for fun. This lead Bungie to try and attempt to balance and change the Crucible into a competitive PvP experience using patches and player input. This was their major flaw as most players are biased individuals who cry nerf for superiority not balance. No developer who takes their competitive PvP seriously makes this many changes to their meta. The PvP should have been released needing little to no changes. The minute Bungie realized the PvP community wanted a competitive PvP experience they should have shot down the PvP, balanced and revamped the Crucible with only Dev input to be released with one of the major DLCs. Instead we have a cluster f*** wrapped in AIDS as our PvP experience thanks to the player base!

I see minimal lag so far. Wait til the weekend. Then it gets crazy.

Snipers doesn't flinch at all to be honest... Its too easy to snipe in this game I'm dead -blam!-ing serious. Mida mida mida mida snipe snipe snipe snipe snipe

Try the doom PvP, it's amazing the difference dedicated servers makes
