They should put oscillation in the crucible playlist. That'll get em to change it up.

I've just re-entered the crucible after a couple months off (the ability spam was unplayable for me) and played about 50 games of Control over a week or so > and this is what I have experienced: >> been able to use well (all legendary): hand cannons, pulse, scouts and.. even bows (!) as my longer range engagements.. and no prob with SMGs and Sidearms for my shorter range. >> shot gunners take me down but at least in this mode its not a problem as much as you notice who and can make sure to engage further out.. backpedal.. it doesn't feel bad.. its just it seems like they don't miss their shots if they're close.. if they have ammo and I don't have a pocket singularity I'm a goner.. >> sliding is such a strange play style.. I do dislike it coming from HC, Shotgun or Sniper.. again in quickplay its not too big a deal but I would not look forward to those guys in Trials/Comp.. I also don;t want to learn that.. its not interesting to me >> there are some balanced games.. I even had one go down to the wire on disjunction that was a blast yesterday.. I was using a bow.. just a pre-nasty nothin OP and an SMG (Pizzicato) >> definitely been on both sides of mercies I can say for a fact (as in observed clearly during these matches) mostly stacks are causing this. Sometimes yes they are very bad stacks but normally they will run and gun that lobby like its their job. This is a big waste of my time.. on either side of a mercy.. I do not get to play.. I am not interested in whooping on severely beaten opponents.. it sucks.. and I think people who enjoy this in most things are the dregs of human society. In these instances my brain screams FREELANCE. >> there are some cracked new weapons and exotic weapons.. that help facilitate these mercy situations.. all you need to do is look at these matches and see who has a 17.0 KDA.. I mean something could be odd there.. I'm not a math genius.. but this is what I would investigate in order to help balance. Overall though > I consider it very playable (way less ability spam thank the 9) and enjoyable because of the multiple weapons being viable and when those matches are close and contested its truly a beautiful thing. Have also come back from being ~40 down if people don't quit generally.. usually 50 is the place you may lose people but luckily mercies are called around there

Was it equally as boring when everyone: -was using Xur's main ingredient? -was sniping due to lack of flinch and reticle re-centering? -was running SMGs because they were nuts? -was using DMT because it was broken? -was using Monarque because it was broken? -was using threaded spectre+freeze dodge+scatter nades because super wombo? -was using 2.0 striker titan because the super and Inertia Override were broken? -was shatterdiving because it was super broken? Because I'll take the current meta over literally any of the ones above. We have so many things that can compete right now, even just weapon-wise. If you don't like shotguns, I kindly direct you to the "S" key on your keyboard or holding your lil controller stick DOWN. Should help with the issue you're experiencing.

I really hope youre not using your PvP set up right now.
