This playlist could've been tons of fun, a nice getaway from the stale pvp meta from other playlists. But it's just so, SO miserable.
1- Desync: this problem becomes exacerbated in this mode mecause of the way bows work. Getting shot through walls is not new to crucible, but because bows deal such massive precision damage, you are getting killed through walls ALL THE TIME in this plalist. Also, shooting an enemy at point blank while they're out of cover and doing no damage is very commom, so get used to it.
2- Glaive inconsistency: glaives in pvp are a big 50/50, either you hit everything or you hit nothing. Multiple times i've went up to enemies at like 1hp, meleed them with my glaive, and still got killed anyways because mine simply did no damage. Meanwhile, many times i was standing at full hp and someone ran at me with a glaive, meleed me ONCE, and i was dead.
3- One-shots... everywhere: honestly i'm still confused on this one. Every match i played there's at least one dude on the enemy team who's apparently Legolas himself, 'cause mfs will one tap EVERYONE. I've tried different builds, bows, armor mods, and nothing gives me anything remotely close. All my bows work the same, two shots to the head, period. But my enemies, oh no, one shot to the head (sometimes to the body) and you're good. I checked their guardians, their bows have no damage perks, neither does their armor, the ONLY thing i can think of is oathkeepers damage boost, but i've been using them myself and NEVER one-tapped someone, even with headshots. Some matches are straight up UNPLAYABLE because of players just demolishing everyone while it's impossible to duel it out without getting shafted as well. In the kill feed, all you see, the same player, over and over again.
Then the final scoreboard comes up and they have more kills then all their teammates combined...
I thought this playlist could get me away from all the one tapping of normal crucible but instead gave me something much worse.
