CLARIFICATION: This is not about me, I am not here complaining as a low skill player trying to get good.
CLARIFICATION: I don't want vanilla back. I am only using it as an example of a time when there was a larger skill gap, and how a larger skill gap allowed me to get better faster. In a low skill gap bad players are just using broken weapons and abilities - not challenging themselves to develop skill and etc
I am also not at all saying that special should be removed, I'm talking about anything, weapons or abilities that require zero skill to use...the cheesy and annoying stuff.
All of the cheese has allowed low skill players to achieve success in PVP.
It has also allowed high skill scum bags to become even scummier.
Complaints about lobby balance are also becoming more and more prevalent. High skill or above average players are losing matches bc they're matched with very low performing/contributing players.
We need our lower skill players to ACTUALLY LEARN AND GET BETTER. This means critically thinking about their engagements, positioning themselves, developing game sense, etc.
Cheesy OHK weapons and 0 skill gap is not the way to to do this.
Any sweat will tell you that to get better you have to compete with better players and get clapped till you figure it out. It just takes patience.
I started playing Destiny when D2 came out, vanilla was all I knew and I was a completely blank slate.
There were no shotguns, jotunns, mountaintops, OEM, le monarques, or any of the other cheese we have now.
I had to get good using the same bullet firing weapons that the sweats were bending me over with. The difference was that they were better than me. So I had to work hard to improve (using my brain/not cheesy OHK freebies), and it was super fulfilling to watch myself improve along the way.
Bad players will never get good without a skill gap.

Изменено (ALBOBOSS): 9/12/2019 4:53:11 AMJotunn, mountain top and le monarque are cheese weapons 🤦♂️ None of what you mentioned are remotely competitive in mid to high level pvp. Jotunn is usually used by bottom players (no offense meant) and anyone that strafes can easily counter them. You should not talk about pvp if you have such a poor understanding of it. Edit - To add my thoughts and contribute to the conversation: Specials have a skill just like any weapon. The have a low skill floor (except snipers) but the skill ceiling is still there. A higher level player will dominate a lower level player given the same special weapon is equipped.
