TWAB 2/17/22
There is this weeks TWAB, i've kind of purposefully skipped learning much about WQ cause I hadn't had time to focus on it, and two, because I like to be surprised. Gambit stuff is an improvement, still not enough to make me care about that bad game mode though.
Gotta say, I stepped into IB for the first time in a couple of seasons...and how does anybody enjoy PVP in the game? It was one of my favorite things in D1, but holy hell...between teleporting everywhere, lag, and constant getting 3 tapped from across the map by Palis and Eyaslunas I just don't see the enjoyment. Trying to Snipe? Sorry flinched to death from a Pulse three times out of it's range. Trying to control an area or lanes? Nah get a shotgun in the back thanks to trash spawns due to IB cap mechanic. I need to get the bounties done for the new season, but it's a struggle to enjoy myself. How does Bungie not see the player movement speed along with the shrinking of old maps makes it WAY to easy to get from A to B to C in the time it took to get from A to B in OG, and early D2. Speeds need to come down a bit IMO, if I wanted to play COD, I'd just go play COD.
I had one game where I got killed by a guy in his super, and spawn killed by it a second time (Thought this was gone). Had another in the same game, same dude killed me with a Ghally, and I respawn into the same guy precharging a Main Ingredient for the spawn kill. Also, I thought Fusions were nerfed?, or are they getting nerfed...cause that range is beyond dumb. Had another where I died, and I kid you not I was dead again in my spawn animation from a Ghally rocket...good times.
I consider myself good, not great...but this game REALLY needs a form of SBMM. Trying to get my footing after almost a year of nothing PVP related was a nightmare of teams and people just WAY out of my elo range it was nuts. I had a couple games with New Light players on my team. Can't imagine the mercies were fun for them and their .25 K/Ds those games. Went 4-8 on the evening...can't say I learned anything other then pray the connections aren't crap and swap off the sniper for the no talent shotties sooner...gross
