Stasis was well recieved outside of PvP. It's a really fun subclass, it's just broke inside crucible. Gambit is a good idea in theory, and I know I personally don't enjoy it a lot of people do.. Try again. But lets just say you're right. That's failure on their part, not the players.

There is the main issue then. PvP. All the devs see is people complaining about stasis in pvp so all they'll see is that people don't like stasis. No one ever says they like it in general. I dunno about you but If all I see is people shitting on my new ideas I'm gonna shy away from trying new ideas.

then you go out of business.. Do you expect the game to remain the same? If they didn't create new ideas, or new content based on past failures, this game never would've survived. Somethings are well received like forsaken, others are not like curse of Osiris. If they don't create new strikes, new pvp maps, new mechanics etc.. this game dies. What you say makes no sense.

Gambit has always been terrible, still is today. The only people that like Gambit are the ones that never stop playing it, everyone else just does their 3 games for the pinnacle or because something else they're doing requires it.

I didn't get a chance to get into it when it had the special armors because I arrived as they were removing the items and only got the chance to get the set without ever really using it. Though to me the concept of armor effecting your gameplay on that level in a match was pretty cool. Also I enjoyed the 3 rounds better because it gave more of a chance to come back from a losing match. Gambit was fun before they gutted it into only gambit prime. I never understood the hate it got. It was a novel idea mixing pvp with pve and giving both sides something they wanted.

It was a good idea, but the way it came about wasn't that good. Invading has always been annoying, mainly because of what's the strongest to use. First I saw was Queenbreaker, back when it had twice the aim assist it was supposed to have, making it hit headshots with aimbot-like ease. Then Truth was ultra meta, you'd get 3 rockets when grabbing heavy from mid, and get 3 kills nearly every game. Now it's Eyes of Tomorrow, which is basically Wardcliff with Truth tracking and can hit you over cover. Melting the Primeval was a thing still but not as bad as it is now, used to be nova bomb with Skull of Dire Ahamkara with Tractor Cannon to debuff (back then, the debuff allowed more bonus damage to void damage), and you'd be able to literally remove all health from the boss in one go with all 4 bombs. Now it's stasis debuff with Chaos Reach/Thundercrash with Focusing Lens and Volatile conductor, with Lament or Anarchy depending on if it's meatball. I wish Gambit was as good as it had potential to be, but playing it is the worst experience. Leaving too much would get you a ban, but leaving quickplay or a strike doesn't. Gambit isn't a "comp" level activity, since losing doesn't make you lose score, and matching against stacked 4 mans consistently makes the above scenarios a high possibility. Nobody wants to deal with that all day, so they either avoid the playlist or play in one of said stacked teams. But for people who prefer playing solo like myself, they're almost never playing in a fireteam and match the stacked teams.
