Anyone else not enjoying the new Crimson Doubles?

I just can't seem to catch a break in this game mode! I like to think I'm a pretty skilled PvP player (just above average I'd say) but I can't compete against these sweaties running all the guns that we know are meta. These are especially potent when combined with one eyed mask. Personally I don't mind losing a few games but when it is EVERY, SINGLE, GAME I find that there is a problem. I feel like it may be the way they fit clash into this game mode. For like half of my games my partner and I are being revived halfway across the map from each other due to the way our deaths are staggered: I die, he lives, he fights, I revive, he dies, I fight, I die, he lives, etc. And you could say, "Oh, just don't run into battle asap. Wait for your partner to respawn." I agree with that. However, when this happens, the enemy just pushes my spawn anyways and the cycle keeps going. I just can't find it in me to play this gamemode when all these factors are in place. I want to! But I'd honestly much rather play competitive and grind out my Luna than do this. How do you guys feel about this event?

  • I get it I get some matches like that as well, but I've had no problem solo with randoms still winning matches against two stacks. I don't even use the most annoying weapons, I used last word for a couple matches as well as vouchsafe, but today I was using blast furnace with le monarch. I've had some pretty decent teammates but some have been subpar but I have still been able to have fun.

  • What are you expecting out of a competitive game mode? Do you just want the algorithm to throw you a pair of children with no previous Crucible experience to beat down for the next 10-12 minutes every match? [spoiler]*Note, because I know that every damn one of you who disagrees with me is thinking it: 'competitive' with a lower case 'c'. Not '[u]C[/u]ompetitive'. Not every game mode is Competitive, but every PvP game mode is competitive. When ever you're playing against another human player who is also trying to win, you're playing a competitive game mode. That's literally the definition of the word. Yes, even Quick Play. Please don't get so caught up on the word. Thank you.[/spoiler]
