Suspicions confirmed. Stasis is having a hugely negative impact on Crucible.

This is obviously my personal opinion, but having your ability to fight back in any capacity for a few seconds at a time (which is an eternity in the crucible) by abilities that come back every 30 seconds or so makes for a terrible time. On the other end, I find zero enjoyment out of killing an enemy who lacks the ability to defend themselves in any way. I'm sure there's people who are loving Stasis in Crucible, and they have every right to that opinion. Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring on this one and say that it's thoroughly unenjoyable for me personally and I truly hope changes are made, sooner rather than later.

    I have never wanted destiny 2 to be competitive. I mainly play PvP, but for me it has always been a game that I play at a high level but always for fun and never too seriously. There is no other arena shooter quite like it so its nice to have something that is not super hard or demanding that I can just enjoy. But, stasis has pretty much ruined it for me. I could deal with bastion, with revoker, with mountaintop, with beloved taking no flinch, with controller last word, with one eyed mask, with everything up to this point. Stasis being in the game just makes it not fun anymore. I have really tried to adapt my playstyle around it and figure out how to counter it but literally the only counter is to not take fights, because any time at a moments notice your opponent can press their grenade key or their melee key and you lose. Period. No counterplay. No escape. You are just dead. The number of times I have been 2 hand cannon headshots into killing someone while they can't hit a shot, so they use their warlock melee and freeze me in place is just so stupid. This game has never had a very wide skillgap but stasis basically just completely gets rid of it. I played comp earlier against a team of 3 warlocks all using claws of ahamkara and I have literally never had so little fun playing. It is arguably worse than 4 pre nerf oem titans or 3 wormhusk hunters with arc battery. PvP is just so draining now. And it's sad, because literally just last week I found this game genuinely fun. I could sit down and play for hours and while I had moments of frustration, as anyone would, the game was fun. But even the version of the game from last week will never be seen in again. This is the Destiny 2 that we are stuck with, forever. It didn't need to be this way but it is what it is. I always argued against the people who said this game should be PvE only. But at this point I am 100% in favour. PvP in this game is just a waste of time for the developers and the players. Sadly I have to grind these next two weeks because I want to do the raid on day 1 blind with my friends which is always fun. IMO it is the only truly fun experience this game has to offer anymore. After that I really don't see myself playing the game, the part of it I used to enjoy has just become completely destroyed. I guess it was fun while it lasted.
