Bungie- BigTex here. Big fan. Loyal customer. I only have time for one video game in my life and Destiny is it. In a PVP slump. Big Time. Before Destiny, haven't played PVP on an FPS regularly since Halo 3. Used to be pretty damn decent. Time has passed me by. New video gamers have come and brought this crazy thing we all love to another level that I don't think I can every really compete in. The run and gun, two guys shooting it out at mid to close range while dodging the occasional sniper fire or shotgunner, style of play is dead in this game. D-E-A-D. And you guys have killed it. When Destiny came out, I avoided PVP like the plague. I knew that I couldn't compete. The times I did dabble in it my thoughts were confirmed. But as PVE content dried out, PVP was the only thing to fill the void. So I got to it. I Got-Decent. Not Gud. But Decent. During Dark Below and House of Wolves, I felt I was kind of a billy-badass. I'd win greater than 50% of the time. Good enough for me. But since TTK, my god have I fallen off a cliff. My run and gun style has become less and less effective by the day. Even from the time TTK dropped up to he April update I'd still find enjoyment in PVP. Sure, I was reduced to about a 30% return rate on actually contributing positively to my fire team in PVP. The shotgun or sniper meta along with DoP was kicking my ass quicker than I could return said ass-kicking. But that's OK, my enjoyment was still enough to where I was still having fun. But now, something's changed. I'm not sure what it is. I can narrow it to two scenarios: The meta has been so prevalent for so long that more and more people have been forced to change to it to be competitive, thus a larger majority of the players have become proficient in it to deliver ass-kickings to those that don't play that way as compared to way back when, namely TDB and HoW. Somehow I've regressed as a player, and my skill set is deterring and it's completely my fault and I should just STFU and Git Gud. Either way, I'm not having fun anymore. The meta is too strong. Too many people are getting proficient in it. I don't want to play that way. Shoot people from across the map while hardscoping around a corner. Running straight at someone with a Party Crasher and one-shotting them as they land 5 precision shots to my dome as I'm closing the distance because Primary Weapons suck in PVP. Please, for the love of god. Shake it up. Promote other gun use. I love fusions and sidearms. Both are outclassed by snipers and shotguns in just about every scenario if you're comparing PVP players vs. each other with comparable skills but opposing weapon use (Fusion/Sidearm vs Sniper/Shotgun). At the very least throw me a bone. Give me a place where I can get into the epic square offs against opponents I found myself in a MAJORITY of the time in the Halo games I played PVP in back when you made them. Please. I don't want to lessen others enjoyment to increase mine. Create a different playlist that focuses on Primary and subclass abilities and keeps secondary accessibility more limited. Or create a no sniper/shotgun playlist. Or buff Fusions/sidearms to be more competitive. SOMETHING.
