I feel like people have been complaining about the “teamshot“ meta since day one.
I cannot think of a meta where attacking as a cohesive unit wouldn’t be advantageous…
Well I remember a couple key things before this meta came to be
Ahem-
- I like checkmate. It really feels balanced
(This lead to higher skill disparity. I got told that I don't like people competing (they weren't competing at all))
- I hate the "crutch" cannon meta. NERF BUNGIE, NERF!
(Okay we hear you, here are some pulse rifle buffs)
Ew bungie, now everyone is camping in the back with an Elsie's. I didn't want this (even if it was literally asked)
- Bungie please nerf special and abilities
(The literal tool to divide up groups of handholding guardians)
Well now everyone is just deathballing, I don't like this
These were the requests and complaints that came after from the same people that would never even set a single foot in crucible, even if you pay them.
Now I beg to wonder, where are these people now? On call of duty. Not because the game is great (Had a literal mag dump not register at all) but because its cod.
Honestly I can't even begin with the shitshow that is crucible right now 😂. Made for the people that never would play it in the first place
Can't believe we are having this debate
honestly no clue, i have noticed teamshooting in fps games has become more prominent over the years and idk why, it's unbearable though, you ever catch yourself alone there's always two people ready to rip into you and it's obnoxious; for D2 it's probably because the meta has shifted to "sit at the back of the map with a pulse and punish anyone who moves anywhere other than behind cover" lol
If you want to 1v6 the entire team primaries would need to become
Far more lethal… but all the “crucible elites” cry about fast ttks so just swallow the main character syndrome adapt and play as a team
Cough Concecration Cough Lightning Surge Cough Calibans Hand Cough.
Just use things that punish teams bunching up. If you go out in the open and get mowed down by three other guardians, that’s your fault. Honest to god, you can’t expect player to Not Work as a Team in a TEAM BASED ACTIVITY.
Respectfully, PvP in D2 is a team based activity, so I would anticipate being team-shot and you're own team shooting an enemy together.
Heck, even the AI will have multiple enemies shooting you.
