So, over the weekend I did something I've never done before. I went to LFG for trials partners. (Wait, it gets better) I sent multiple invites and had countless people join my party to chat and ask if they wanted to do some trials. Most of them had came in asking my ELO. Now, I understand ELO is a pretty good way to gauge a players skill in Destiny. As well as KD. I don't have the best ELO because I don't always play with the best players that 9-0 every weekend. I usually try to help my friends. My ACTUAL friends. They're not elitists. They're not the best. Hell, I'M not the best, but I can 9-0 every weekend with the right team.
Long story short, these elitist joined my party and quickly took to DTR and trials report. (I can't blame them). But all of them said I WASN'T good enough. Yeah, it isn't the best thing to hear, but I know I'm good enough for smooth 9-0 runs. I used to help people to the light house every weekend. (I don't anymore, work gets in the way of trials help). After about 20 people saying I'm sh*t at the game I finally found someone. Lower stats than me, lower ELO. But I didn't care, I could help this guy out, right? Then we had a third that had the same mind set. He was a pretty good player. Up to par on stats with me. Wanna know what's funny? Last weekend, on Widows Court, was one of the fastest 9-0 cards I've ever played. With 2 guy from LFG that had decent stats.
Elitists. I have one thing to say to you. Give people a chance. I'm not upset I was turned down. Not one bit. I'm disappointed in you. There are people like me that help the little people to the light house, which means we might have lower ELO than you. But I'll take a guy that helps the community at the sacrifice of his numbers than the guy who turns everyone down because they don't have big numbers. Maybe you can also help the lighthouse virgins if you're that good.
Thanks for reading guys!
Edit: Thank you everyone for your opinions on this. Anyone can do it. Anyone can go to the lighthouse. You just gotta put the effort forth. Btw, we are trending! Thanks to being trending because of all of you, lighthouse virgins see this post first and hopefully that means that they can match up with some of you better players and finally go flawless! You guys are awesome! Thank you!

If you're free this weekend I'd play trials with you. My stats are pretty bad but I always have fun in trials and am always looking to play trials with new people

4 RespuestasI use KD alone. Elo doesn't mean anything. If your kd is 1.3ish its cool

1 RespuestaMy best was 7-0. Was with an lfg group. Doubt I'll ever be that close again. I was excited when we got to 7-0 but then we just barely lost the next few games :/

1 RespuestaEditado por Hawpy: 7/15/2016 3:58:00 AMElo is meaningless unless you play every match trying your absolute hardest to win and only play with people to achieve that, not with your friends in order to have fun or anything stupid like that. What is this, an entertainment product? (In before elitists come here and say how bad my stats are, most likely without even looking at them)

Yea, some people just take a [b]game[/b] too seriously. I play Destiny because its fun, I have only played during three Trials weekends, but I [b]didn't[/b] enjoy it as much as ordinary Crucible.

Good job but all I have to say is.... [spoiler] Bo$$-Key-Yacht$, let's go, got that R for y'all, that real spit. They call me Bo$$-Key-Yacht$, the Harlem Saint. My pockets are fulla fat knots making all the ladies drop. Paint these street corners green. My bank notes the color field scene. Half man, half amazing! Call me semi-odd the demi-gogue, halo crowned with a dollar sign. Gutter Pulpit of Ghetto Saint with grand designs, call me focus. Before the Bo$$-Key-Yacht$ the streets was hopeless. I'm dat Harlem Saint painting pictures, making new kinda scrilla banking up to 12 figures! Call me Bo$$-Key-Yacht$, My pockets are fulla fat knots. Dusk til Dawn, you're boy makes the streets POP. Got it on lock, but it don't stop, make it hot. Love it when dem honeys bounce when they on top ahhhhhh! Bo$$-Key-Yacht$, a yacht in the seven seas making waves til the world knows me. Bo$$-Key-Yacht$, my pockets go deep. I dive in the honeys, get up then creep. I'm on my hustle and grind n grind. I'm all about my money; no time for playing games when this game ain't funny. [/spoiler]

Jesus it's just a game. I used to be pretty good at halo growing up. And i super try harded in halo and destiny. But im getting too old, its too much of a headache. I just wanna have fun and not care as much

To much werds.

Wow, well I kinda expected this when I read on this post. Kinda makes me switching to Warframe and within a week already having several Prime Warframes and weapons due to people being noob friendly look way better than the stingy elitist gits of ToO.

I am not the best player but I work well with my Trials team. Before they left Destiny (Which I do not blame them) we always went flawless. My overall K/D is trash. But my recent games, I hold my own and I am not carried. All depends on how well a team can work together.

If 2 people are good enough they won't care what your stats are as long as you revive and listen.

3 RespuestasEditado por Wicked: 7/15/2016 3:04:43 AMJust for future reference, it's not ELO. It's not an acronym for anything. It's just Elo. It's the last name of the guy who invented the system.

What is elo? Extremely large oranges? And you can have better or worse oranges than others? Oranges????

The thing I look at is recent numbers. When I got this game I couldn't hit the side of a barn with a house and most of my numbers reflect that. I met a great group of folks and they helped me out a lot in getting better. I had no other game experience of this kind when I bought my wife the PS4 but have enjoyed it mostly cause the people I've met. I'm still not great by any means but would play with anyone except those with crazy bad internet, I don't know why but it affects the cramp out off mine. Descent numbers and great communications go a long way.
-
I don't consider myself that great of a player either, and it's still easy to flawless with a team that's up to par. I think I have about a 1.4 k/d for Trials and maybe a 1400 ELO, and with teammates like that we kicked ass.
-
Editado por Shadowdragon: 7/15/2016 3:17:19 AMAMEN! If you are a nice person, it's things like that that's restoring my faith in people. If you wanna be a friend, I can be a friend back but if you're just PRETENDING to be a friend to get benefits from me...you better expect I won't think twice before I throw the hammer at you.
-
The thing is it isn't really the elite who do things like that. It's the guys who doubt they'd be able to get there without players with certain stats that usually aren't very good. I used to ask for players with a 1.3 when I was at 1.3 & I wasn't sure of my own ability. Now I'm fine with whatever & I just try to help.
-
I used to run trials and I'm not the best player but I can generally hold my own just got tired of people in trials for those reasons and I'll be honest I've never gone to lighthouse as I absolutely hate to be carried in anything I'll admit my pride is sometimes a bad thing I always felt I'd rather get there with players who are comrades call me a fool XD

I never check someone stats

5 RespuestasI post in the Casual section and welcome all. I run my own group so no one gets kicked. All I need is 2 people that can fire a weapon.

1 RespuestaPlayed in Year 1 on Xbox. TTK for PS. Been flawless many times in year 1, but can't get a team for year 2. So many fags saying the same sh1t. "Oh your stats aren't good enough." "Your ELO is terrible." "You've never been flawless." "Get out of my party. You die too much." I'm sorry I'm not as good as I was in Y1. Sorry I'm the one that needs to change so that you don't have to. They need to separate these sh1theads from normal crucible. It's not even fun anymore with these d1cks running around.
