With crossplay, it's almost impossible to learn and get better in the current state. It's like putting pee-wees', vets, little league, and professionals all together on one team. I would consider waiting until Bungie addresses the issues. I also think IB rift is a nice change. I think it takes too long to progress ranks and most matches have pros that are not killable. I like that there is less special even though I prolly need it. I always thought they should split the player base into 5 groups S, A, B, C, D, E, then if you're a B player you should be playing A, B C. etc. Reset the stats each season. Back to the topic. If you're gonna play I suggest looking up what weapons and build to run. 90% of pvp is figuring out what is seasonal best cheese or doing stuff like peaking with a hand cannon. Good luck.

Also pvp for noobs: Stay close to your team. Shoot with your team. Stop running away and hiding every time you hear a bullet. You are not going to do better as a 1v3 than a 3v3. If on average you do not get more kills than get killed, please stay off comp teams until you get better, as most of us will just quit instead of waste the time when we witness the hopelessness. Don't bring blue gear to comp. Change ships. When I see the first ship acquired going into a comp match, I automatically assume I'm expected to carry, which I refuse to do. Not your fault, but not succumbing to the garbage matchmaking expectations. Stop putting your barricades and bubbles in your teammates way. Keep your -blam!- out of your teammates scopes if they are sniping. LOOK AT YOUR RADAR. The list goes on, but please just brush up on the basics, otherwise you are just dragging your teams down.

Sorry but you gotta do what everyone else did: get stomped until you get better, or quit. That’s just the way it goes. We all started off getting 0.5 kds, but you just have to try and figure out how to improve from there. Try finding a good player on your team and following them around, should help you get a fell for the right place to put yourself after a while.

Then do what all players do when they start playing a new game and learn how to play that game. We all started at the same level and got better at it. You will havd to now.
