[quote]I know nobody will see this or care but I'm an average to sub-average player that just got his Luna's Howl completely solo and I had to share. I never played D1, but Destiny 2's PvP has given me that something extra that I haven't really felt in a video game since raiding in WoW. Love the gunplay, love the supers, and when they first came out I was determined to get a pinnacle weapon but since I can't use a mic and my stats are bad I had trouble finding groups, I was on my own. Season 3 kicked me in the junk, I was at around 1300 glory when the new matchmaking rules kicked in and I never stood a chance, I got stomped and flooded with hate mail asking if I had both hands, to stay out of comp, etc. Went from a 1KD in comp to a .8 and never really recovered. Seasons 4 and 5 were more of the same, endless comp matches where I was outmatched, lots of hate mail, but still I persisted through the negativity. Committed to learning and improving. Then along comes season 6, bless you Bungie for making the change to Glory points, it actually made it possible for a player like me to reach Fabled (almost, waiting for reset.) I was terrified that the Revelry event would make it again impossible for me to get to 2100, even tried Stormcaller and arc web but just didn't work for me. I'm a Voidwalker main and had to stick to what I knew, plus a charged-up vortex grenade still catches a lot of people off guard. Got to 1700 last week but then dropped down to 1450 - I was discouraged but not defeated, and honestly last night could've been a breaking point. If I dropped back down to under 1000 I'm not sure I would've been able to keep trying. But last night, the stars aligned: Games 1&2: Matched against the same 4-stack of arc hunters spamming skip grenades. I played ok, not great, but our teams lost. Not a good start, but I kept going. Games 3&4: Got paired with a 2-stack, one player was decent but the other was an absolutely monster, carried us for these two games. I played well, but this dude was the only reason we won. Game 5: Close game, I played well, we won 6-4 countdown. Hmm, now we're getting somewhere. Game 6: Got the short end of a 3v4 matchup. No way. NO WAY! Rather than despair, we fought through it, I played well, and we pulled off the win. Ohhh so close now. Game 7: Manna from heaven. 4v1 and I wasn't the 1. I felt bad and just tried to dance with the poor sap on the other team while my teammates murdered him, oh well. I'll take the win. Looked at my glory score. I had a 5 win streak and was 1 win away from victory. I couldn't believe it. Game 8: Got an all solo countdown matchup, sweet I might actually have a chance. Quickly lost the first two games badly and knew that if this was going to happen, I was going to have to be the difference maker. Then it happened. Like SSJ2 Gohan fighting Cell. Like Will Ferrell debating. Like Star Platinum rising from JoJo. Slayer Hefty appeared out of nowhere and went on a rampage for the next six rounds and would not be denied. We won 6-2 and I let out a shriek. I did it. I freaking did it. 1994 glory points. After reset I will log in and collect Luna's Howl, MountainTop and Recluse. Thank you to all the great players that carried me when I stunk, and sorry to all the players I dragged down with my potato play early on. If you're like me, an ok player that has been struggling to get over that 2100 mark, don't get discouraged, keep going and improving! You [u]will[/u] get there! Edit: Wow what an overwhelming response, thanks for all the well wishes everyone, and good luck to you guardians still fighting for it![/quote] Good work man. Takes a lot of hard work to get that gun. I’m on the final step and I can’t win a game to save my life.
