I had the worst match today. The other team camped around A and nobody on my team could claim it. This was freelance mode. Every time I tried to get there I was always met with 2 or more people on the opposing team. I was outmatched and outgunned every single time (I'm trying to find my footing in PvP so I'm still learning... But it's frustrating when I keep getting killed by metas). I want to get better but experiences like these deter me from playing PvP. One guy on the opposing team had an efficiency of 4.0 on the other team. I think I only got one kill thanks to my super. I was the worst for that match. I tried staying with other people on my team but it's hard when they get killed too.

  • Yeah that’s what i don’t get about the Matchmaking. It would either be fair Matches, or complete Stomps without trying for either Teams.

    Welcome to Destiny 2 PVP. Since abilities (other than stasis) have been nerfed into the ground....and special ammo is rigidly restricted? There is nothing to stop a team from relaxing back into the tiniest spot on the map....and then team shooting every avenue of approach. Or mobbing up and rolling around the map like Sonic the Hedgehog. In D1, powerful abilities and plentiful special ammo allowed a single player to effectively take on multiple opponents. So it punished that kind of play, and forced teams to spread out (I still remember my first major kill streak in D1. It was on Twilight Gap, point C. I shotgunned three opponents off the point....then popped my super (Blade Dancer) and killed another 4 as they spawned in and tried to take it from me. I remember gawking at the screen and thinking....."Did I just do that?!?!?!" But in D2 that kind of play is impossible. You'd run out of special ammo.....and you dont' get you're super as often. Plus your abilities aren't up enough or powerful enough to fill in the gap. So odds are you'd get a couple of shotgun kills and then get team shot into next wee because there is very little risk of a team wipe for them. So people just clump up....and dare your to come after them. And the only way to do it is to team shoot yourself. It ameks the game PAINFULLY boring....and unbelievably PREDICTABLE. Because the game won't let you play any other way. [quote]I tried staying with other people on my team but it's hard when they get killed too.[/quote] it helps somewhat. But you're skill screwed if you can't get your "team" to clump up in more than 2s or 3s....while the other team has all 6 of their people standing shoulder to shoulder and looking like Wellington's army at Waterloo. https://ugc.futurelearn.com/uploads/images/9a/54/large_hero_9a54dcda-2c22-477d-9446-f4f2a637f57e.jpg

  • Today was a lot better. I managed to finish the quest for Xur and making progress on the Witherhoard catalyst. I'm starting to have some fun actually lol
