On console the main issue is lag and people using MnK or devices. Lag is impossible to tell if it’s someone cheating or just the servers as usual. MnK is easy to spot, you just have to look how they move, either way I doubt anyone cares much anymore.

i smell bs & its coming from the op

Put on your Spinfoil hats for this one - But I honestly believe Bungie has some sort of Dynamic Difficulty built into their Crucible coding. Can I prove it? No, not really, but what makes me say this? You can play two matches in a row with the same two teams. Match 1, you're at the top of the team, and it's like you couldn't miss crits if you tried. 5/6 members of your team end up with 2.0+ efficiencies and 20+ kills. The next match, the teams stay the same, but this time, only about 40% of your shots are crits, your whole team ends up with negative efficiencies, except the one positive guy at the top, while the players on the other team just can't seem to miss crits on you, and this time, they mercy you. These wild swings in "player skill" from match to match just don't seem natural at all. I truly believe this is what makes it seem like people are cheating sometimes, when really they're not. It's a behind the scenes Dynamic Difficulty setting, to give each player a more fair chance to do better in some matches and worse in others. That would allow lower skill players to not get destroyed every match, giving them a fighting chance to be at the top of the team every once in a while, while higher skilled players are able to more easily mitigate those effects using map knowledge and team shooting. I think they use tricks like better spawn locations, aim assist & accuracy fluctuations, and radar efficiency fluctuations, to add or subtract difficulty to a player who has either been playing well for a while, or playing not so well for a while, in order to balance out player experience between more and less skilled players. Take this with a huge grain of salt, but Bungie has been known to use these type of "catch up mechanics" in Gambit. I see no reason why they wouldn't also have them in the crucible.

Ew fake account

Bro deleted his characters 😂 what an idiot.

Think yourself lucky ive been tryung to do Witherhoard catalyst & ive had 6 grenade lancher kills in 15 games. Cheaters & a weapon that does practically nothing is great fun. Im so glad Bungie devs got fired I hate them so much they suck so bad.

[quote]I really hate to be complaining, but... this fkng sucks. I've been consistently traced and prefired through walls, facing people who never miss, literally shot through walls (I even have record of this all happening), among many other things, and it really just makes PvP entirely unplayable. And the lobby balancing is so bad that I just have to hope my team weren't born yesterday, and that the enemies either aren't cheating/horribly laggy, or degens in teams meat riding each other the whole game (same thing really), if I don't want to waste my time and have no fun.[/quote] Play pve until you’re ready for PvP

I guarantee no one has to cheat to beat you. If you are an average player, then the odds are that FIFTY PERCENT of everyone in the game will win against you. Check your ego. Seriously, why is everyone so determined to claim "cheater" when they lose? If you are really convinced they are cheating, report them and move on. If you must, post complaints on your real account, so we don't have to take your word for it. And stop leaving games, quitter! Man I hate people who complain about teammates being bad and then followup their statements with admitting to leaving... By leaving, YOU ARE THE WORST TEAMMATE. Sometimes reading these posts is plain frustrating. Get some self awareness, man!

Just quit and queue another match. Don't listen to the losers who say leaving a bad experience makes you bad. Matches should be fun not farms

Lmfao nice bot account

All that is normal in Destiny 2 pvp.
