I havent checked my kd lately or of the last months but im betting you my total kd is lower than before and my monthly kd is probably less than half of what it was before that. One reason only. I havent gotten worse and people didnt get all godlike all of the sudden. Its just lag and shitty game mecanics.
I cant begin to tell how many times ive died by melees on any subclass(mostly bladedance and sunsinger though) no counting or dealing damage but still taking away my melee charge. Also arc blades and shoulder charge hit registration feel like an all time low. And now all of the sudden weird thing start happening to people.
I have for example multiple complaints about people not being able to see half the enemy team even when their own teammates can see them. Also people bodies not despawning(happened to me as well) and just floating in the air like on the reef map for the rest of the game). But the dumbest failed mechanic im still not even sure what happened at those times but it directly affects your kd. I have this in a top 15 wtf moments video coming up as well to show you footage of this but basically this happened to me yesterday for the first time and it hapenned 5 more times today(2 of which were in one single ROUND of trials) where you just drop dead to the ground for no reason in a glitchy movement and it wil say misadventure. The first time this happened i meleed someone as a sunsinger so of course it again didnt connect and the i lunged back and was instantly dead but today i just dropped dead out of nowhere and it said kniveskills81 is down.
And of course finally we have the normal player to player lag which is along with slow hit registration resulting in getting sniped behind a wall all the time, is the biggest problem out of them all. Its ridiculous. People teleporting and not taking damage even with greenbars everywhere. So in conclusion this just -blam!-s up kd and the game as a while so much that nobody should take any good/important stat seriously now anymore.

1 RespuestaNoticed if you melee someone just as they are about to die from someone else.... It takes your melee charge and you don't even get an asisst points...... Also the only melee that seems to consistently work is Throwing Knife and Thunderstrike. Because they're the only hitscan melee's in the game lol
-
All this lag is making it damn near impossible to finish my first curse quest line. Headshot kills registering as body shots or just out right hit/missing. I've seen shots hit have numbers fly up and health bars go up or just not move at all, sometimes they die saying they still have full health, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they just float away. It's shenanigans everywhere. I'm not even saying I'm the best in the world here but it shouldn't take this long for me to get 7 headshot kills with this one gun.
-
I feel you on this. I enjoy the game, but ever since 2.1 my average k.d. went from 2.5-3.5 range to 1.5-2.5. The gun nerfs are out of control.
-
Dont play pvp until they revert matchmaking. I quit the game completely recently because of the matchmaking changes. My favorite game in years turned to absolute shit. Ive never experienced such a bad developer decision in my entire life. Its just sad tbh
-
1 RespuestaSkilled base matchmaking is here and phantom granades/bullets/melees is a thing now. I only get matched up with full fireteams using Thorn with 2.0 kd like myself. Every skirmish game is a sweaty. I mean EVERY single one. Just look at my recent games. Alot of players also experience dying from fall damage, even if its just a small drop. I have saved numerous clips of me sniping other guardians in the head - You can litterarely see their head flinch from the bullet but they wont take damage. Same goes for several melee attacks that just wont register. Weapon patch 2.1 is broken. This comes from a player that has 25 days + spent in crucible and top 1% crucible rank.
-
1 RespuestaJust skill based matchmaking. Problem is they didn't account for connection and crucible is a lagfest. I don't really notice SBMM though.

11 RespuestasWhenever I use MIDA, I find it a lot easier to get kills. So I don't use it often. I find it too easy. It doesn't challenge me. The people who boast their 1.8+ K/D are using TLW, MIDA, or another fantastic. Try keeping that K/D using a Low-Impact Auto Rifle, Fusion Rifle, and Sword. They're worse, but it's fun. And games were meant for fun...originally.
-
2 RespuestasLaces out! Laces out!
-
7 RespuestasYep, My k/d is not going higher, maybe because i refuse to use last word or mida :/. Stuck at a solid 1-1.1 for most categories thanks to mechanics and skill based matchmaking, it is truly awful to play trials mechanics on a 6v6 match (everyone camping with snipers and trying to save their k/d's asses)
-
3 RespuestasMy kd was good. Then Iron Banner hit.
-
Editado por CarneAsadaMilk: 1/11/2016 5:59:34 PMK/D is an indication as to whether or not a player has cheated the SBMM system and they should be adjusted
-
This. Too many things happening now.
-
I've been experimenting a LOT with different load outs, weapon roll variants, etc.... I've been noticing it doesn't seem to matter what I use at all - matters more on the game quality frustrating because I'm trying to legit test what works for my play style and can't get a consistent read on combos - on the upside I'm doing about the same as always and using whatever the heck strikes me as fun to try...
-
it never did before. if you though otherwise you are delusional.
-
Well it still does to an extent but i feel your pain every game i get in has 2 or 3 people with red bars on both teams so basically half of the game is zooming around taking no damage and running over everyone else i stopped playing in November and just came back it is much worse than it ever was before
-
15 RespuestasIn conclusion your k.d is dropping along with a lot of other people's in your range because you're being matched with people of a similair skill level and you can't handle it. Lag has ALWAYS been a thing in cruicible and it hasn't just started now.
-
K/d doesn't mean that much now anyway with skill-based matchmaking. You can be crap (like me) and get some good matches because you're against other people as bad as you are I played pvp a bit on vanilla and never got a k/d > 1 in a match (I said I was crap), but after nearly a year of not playing pvp, I managed 27 kills and a k/d of 5.4 in one match yesterday. I know I have not suddenly become great at pvp, it's just because I get crap opponents. [spoiler]matchmaking had its revenge as I was put against better teams afterwards and was slaughtered[/spoiler] I have seen plenty of floating bodies over the last few days, but almost no lag.

1 RespuestaI stopped giving a shit about destiny. The problem isn't the lag. Or the cheaters. It's bungie doing -blam!- all about it. And its the desticles with their "I'll play no matter what attitude" Let destiny die. When no one is playing the game, maybe bungievision will scratch their head and figure they should have addressed these problems when they could. As for all the red bars in crucible, its not network manipulation. Game traffic isn't free. Its like driving down a toll road. When you don't pay the toll. Expect consequences.
-
2 RespuestasSkillbased Matchmaking. The most awful thing that can be implemented and they did. Now every match is a sweaty lagfest.
-
3 RespuestasAnybody else feel like they do better in fireteams than solo? I swear I'm amazing when playing with friends. Feels like I have something to prove/perform
-
Ditto, I know mine nosedived because I refused to play a sunbreaker. Now its probably even lower because of network manipulating cheaters. Ah well, my Halo 5 PvP is getting better every day.
-
5 RespuestasI'll just leave this here
-
5 RespuestasSomething is wrong, my Hunter tanked a shoulder charge and killed him and my Titan survived a slashing from a bladedancer just by jumping into the air, killed her as well.
-
SBMM aswell
-
1 RespuestaOmg idk what happened but in mayhem I kid you not I jumped bubbled and died from impact and they called it a misadventure. Wtf I had full health. It never happened to me before but this glitchiness seems to be at an all time high... Oh and I'll add that it happened three times in a row. O_o
-
pvp is just for fun... no one cares about kd in gamemodes where you have an objective which is not focused on kd like trials. But the bugs and the lag in the last few weeks is not good and makes pvp a bad experience often
