PVP Has Never Felt Worse

I'm putting substantial bullets into people with low DMG output while I'm getting two tapped, it feels, by everything. Hunters all seem to be able to dodge out of everything or take off running at 100 mph while initially being at an aimed in stand still or slide away in Z patterned movements all while still being aimed in at your head. Lots of crazy airborne effectiveness from people jumping around corners and taking little DMG when getting shot while airborne. I'm not that bad of a player so at this point I'm chalking it up to tons of Xim Matrix users and a touch of soft cheats beyond aim assist and anti recoil.

  • Hunters always ruin PvP with their jail free card abilities.

    • Cheaters should receive the death penalty. Straight up zero tolerance. If a company ever did that Id buy for life.

    • Sorry to say that it's not going to improve. They already said they only going to fix a few things before packing it up. Even mentioned that some of the abilities and glitches might remain to "maintain stability".

      • Try PC lobbies where Crossplay console in the lobby is net limiting because they lack the hardware cabality, controllers are aimbot and aim for you with so strong of reticle friction, and everyone holds hands and teamshoots through the roof. Bunie will go down as the WORST PvP games in history. Sad that Halo was AMAZING and they nuked destiny to trash. I wouldnt even be sad if Sony complete closed the studio.

        Bungie has created the 👉 Arc Hunter Melee Ability Simulator in PvP. Before the new sandbox, it was the Invisibility Simulator. 👉 and now it’s the Teleport + One-Hit Melee Kill Simulator for the entire match (no gun skill required) Arc Hunters currently make up approximately 20% of the entire PvP population, despite there being 18 subclasses in the game.

        • Quickplay is bad, but playing Comp yesterday had me thinking thoughts I shouldn't be thinking while playing video games.

          • The sad part is that they will not fix it so you buy Marathon

          • All day, every day. Destiny's PvP implementation started out mediocre and got worse. At this point the only way it will get better is if enough of these guys get bored winning matches 20-1 and decide to move on to some other game that actually provides a challenge.

            • Honestly, I really wish they would do a small balance patch so a couple other things can be good as well. Right now this is just HC's and glitches basically with a pulse rifle thrown in. I was hoping for a bit more I think.

                Gotta love the 100% headshot hunters sniping mid barrel roll. And the guardians sliding super fast in 1 direction and immediately making 180 degree turns all while sliding. The movement speed and Z patterns definitely feel different since the last patch.

              • I at least get some closure in knowing that Hunters have been problematic in PvP since Day 1 of D2

              • Other than a few outlier cheese builds 6s & trials have been pretty enjoyable. Comp on the other hand is rough ATM especially with the glitch making people queue & quit.

              • I changed my mind. Yeah no this is the worst. Hunters having infinite insta kill range melee is -blam!- insane

                I haven’t played since final shape but I can ensure that you are correct. Pvp compared to the past is just a buggy mess it and it always was before but now its just worse. Especially with hand cannons as theres times when I just get one shotted, or flinch too much with all the blue affects on the screen, one hit melees with both warlock and hunters, immune melee damage for some reason? Absolutely laggy servers and even when people use controller drang or smg this doesn’t help at all. I remembered I played rumble just for top 500 and its one of the most waste of time things ive done because this game was always so stupid I regret it looking at it now but at least Pvp felt a little fun and fair now playing pvp will just make you happy the game is dying, thats how bad it is. Also don’t play comp, people will still get mad at you even when the game is legit dead. This is the best update since destiny 1 for sure but only for pve, if your going to play pvp just play control with broken builds

              • if pvp has never felt worse then here's a suggestion and you may not like the suggestion don't play it. It ain't going to get better in fact it will probably get worse.

              • It’s certainly not the worst it has ever been but it’s not the best either. St this point just disable bakris till they fix hunters

              • Players moving really erratically and never missing could be using Ti*ans, and I don't mean the Class. Either way, you can't do anything about it. In ANY game, not just this one. Focus on the things you CAN control, like landing your shots and playing smart (keeping near cover, making callouts for teammates, using a good build, etc.), and you'll beat a lot of them.
