Crucible has always been my “go to” activity. I used to be able to play it for hours. I’m decent. Not top tier, but not bad. This season is so incredibly inconsistent for me. I go from a 3.0 to a 0.3 from one match to the next. It’s like one match all of my shots hit, then the next, I just don’t seem to do any damage. Then we get mercied. Guys on the other team with a 17.0/11.0/etc. All unbrokens and flawlesses. The stasis effects are incredibly frustrating by nature. In a fast paced game, the last thing I want is to be frozen or slowed. I understand the concept and do use it myself, but it does make for very frustrating game play. Bottom line is I just cannot put the same hours into crucible any more. Once I get my pinnacles done, if I can’t find something I feel like doing, I’ve been putting the controller down.

Imagine blaming an ability on why pvp is trash now.

Yeah man I'm starting to feel it too. 50% if my games are going to time because folks are afraid to engage due to stasis or are just waiting for their own cool downs. This is truly becoming unenjoyable now. Our light subclasses are trash now too for the exception of top tree dawn. Anyone who defends stasis at this point just does not want their crutch to go away. I just don't understand how bungie thought being frozen in pvp was a good idea. Stasis has slowed the pace of pvp to a damm halt with everyone just trying to bait each other with ice and shotguns.

Stasis is brilliantly designed from a gameplay perspective because of the synergy between abilities and Aspects, and it's amazing for crowd control and area denial. We're still catching up to that fact with how we play against it. The outliers need to be addressed though specially by adding a cool down to Shatterdive and lowering Shatter damage against Supers. Stasis counters aggressive play very well and that's pretty much all Crucible has been since Special ammo came back and we've been in a Shotgun meta ever since. These players are the loudest critics because they can't play like they've been doing the last two years.

Ya know whats hilarious? All the streamers -blam!- about it and then when you watch their stream............ they're using it.

Doesn't help the map rotation is the worst I've ever seen. Yeah much fun getting cauldron and anomaly constantly when everyone is using stasis.

I love how people keep saying "adjust to stasis" when stasis has no place in the Destiny crucible at all. Because of stasis Trials has such minimal gunplay when trials is supposed to be a top tier pvp pinnacle activity. I mean compare it to D1 trials. It has turned into a joke of a sort where people camp until they get their nades. People are forced to use stasis to actually compete. And the people who say that Destiny is about abilities go play cod if you want gunplay are the same casuals who don't wanna put hours into crucible to get better so they wanna hog crutch load out and talk shit on forum like their opinion is worth any shit. But what good does complaining here even do bungie literally put arbalest in a primary slot when queenbreakers was in heavy because the aim assist was too much. Like wtf. Do people not understand that no matter how much they complain bungie doesn't give a shit they don't give a flying -blam!- about anyone. I understand that Destiny used to be a game that people spent majority of their time in but it's not a decent game anymore. Just play it like casuals and move on to a different game when done because one thing for sure. The time you put in won't be of any value and you won't have anyone to blame except yourself for actually dedicating yourself to this game.

PvP has always been mediocre at best in Destiny 2. Bungie can't seem to make up their minds as to what they want this thing to be. I much prefer Destiny 1 Y3 Crucible. It's so much better. Destiny 2 has NEVER been able to top that.

Add flinch to shotguns, if someone is sliding at you or coming down from the sky on top of your head and your lighting them up with a sidearm or primary it should flinch them like a sniper scope.

I'm so tired if stasis in pvp man. I have over 136k kills in pvp. Love it. At this rate this season will be my lowest pvp time spent of any season. I miss using our old light subclasses. Stasis pretty much beats them all. In top of that stasis has slowed the pace down to a halt because everyone is so afraid to get frozen. If my last 25 games 11 went to time not score. That's just sad and unenjoyable to me. To be clear I counter stasis just fine and my stats have pretty much stayed the same. The enjoyment of the games pvp however is depleted for me. I used to look forward to doing pvp all the time. Now my friends have to drag me to it.

-This is a rant but it’s got a similar ring from op- The entire subclass needs tweaking.... like op said, it’s an area denial based class. Right no all I see is shatter dive then hide till I have my grenade (that’s basically comp and trials). The ability to block off a lane is already massive in on its self. Freezing duration in PvP has no business being longer then 1 second... as it stands I have enough time to reload and tea bag then blow his face off.. Crystals damage and radius is somewhat ok depending on if shatter dive gets a justified nerf, it took some time getting used to not baiting corners like we used too but it’s an easy work around. Warlock super surprisingly feels good but the titan super has a bit too much armour and it last a little too long. The hunter super... (where do I start)... it’s AN AREA DENIAL AOE not a Fing V1 Bomb. The fact that I can be nuked into orbit while still being a decent distance from the impact zone is INSANE!! On top of that I’m frozen AND it’ll chase me.. HELL no! Not too mention if can freeze you on the other side of a wall. I feel like if super physically hits you, you should die but other then that it’s should slow ONLY. Also speaking about slow, theirs always a counter play to everything in this game weather you believe it or not. But slowed... no abilities, no jump and no sprint. Honestly limited movement speed like sprint is MORE then enough... The fact that all a hunter needs to do is dodge beside me and I’m disabled should speak for its self.. theirs little to no counter to being hit my a shrunken as an opening engagement. -Side note- it’s looks like I hate hunter stasis exclusively but no that’s not it. I just don’t like seeing one subclass becoming the be all end all. At this current time you put yourself at a noticeable disadvantage simply using a different subclass. Please tell me what’s wrong with that picture?
