This season has started to break down some core gameplay PvP mechanics I feel like, and most are very unfun. Below I got some direct and indirect reasons. I'll explain in below posts to keep from this being too long.
1. AE (not going long into since tons of other threads on it)
2. Special Ammo/Weapon Nerfs
3. Survivability/Burst
4. Movement (old issue, new problems)
5. LEAVERS! (Sooooo many this season)
I main PvP in this game. Played off and on since Destiny 2 launch, but been fairly consistent since season 13. I am not the best player, but I am definitely not the worst either. Usually average a 2.0ish K/D in Control, and my friends who are better than me don't find me to be dead weight. Just as a point of reference to my view.

5. LEAVERS! Stop. Leaving. Your. Matches. Out of ALL my seasons played, I have only ever had a Control game end because the enemy all left once, and I was in a 6 stack verse a bunch of randoms. I have had SIX games this season alone that ended in all the enemies or all my teammates leaving. Six... and I would say at least 80% of my matches has atleast 1-2 leavers on my or the enemy team. I get that the meta is rough atm, and sometimes things pop up mid match, but the amount of people leaving is a lot more then "something popped up" could be. Don't que if you ain't gonna play. Just ruining for rest of us.
