RNG is treating you like Mario treats your avatar... sorry dude!
I always thought tracking very useful in pvp. Players like myself will dodge rockets that don't track. since rockets that dont track are aimed at the ground. Makes them easy to evade when there is a nice wide open map (like Burning Shrine)
For example, Hunter/Warlock can get away via blink. This relies on the map layout not being enclosed tho

Good luck man! Super cool about your good news too! Can't wait to play with GraveRobberX 2.0
No proximity detonation is better than pure tracking. Because you can avoid tracking rockets as they won't explode unless they hit something. It's much harder to avoid a fast travelling rocket with grenade and horseshoe. As Grenade and horseshoe will explode whenever it's even near and the large blast radius makes sure to get the kill for sure. You don't aim at the ground with grenade and horseshoe.
Also for a player that is near a door and then turns towards a side a tracking rocket won't kill the player but grenade and horseshoe will...same for a player that is towards the side of a door but at an angle so that firing at the ground won't kill the player.
Half of the time when Truth works it works because of Grenade and Horseshoe and high velocity.
What do you put on your nachos?
And do you bake them in the oven? These are important questions.

A quick tip for those looking to get to Mercury this week.
Don't spend your passage coins right away, do a few runs first just to understand the map, feel out the tactics/strats and what to expect from enemy players.
Once you feel a bit more comfortable, and have a good team:
- Only buy the start with 1 win coin
- Get to 4/5 wins, buy the forgiveness coin
- get to 6/7 wins, buy the double win coin
This way, you are sort of protecting your coin investment, and playing it a bit safer You don't have to do this if you have an all-star team

But even the Gjallahorn has much stronger tracking than any purple launcher (though not like the Truth.)

Just an FYI on the Passage Coins thing, don't wait until you have two losses to buy the forgiveness coin. If you do this and get a loss, the loss will be erased, BUT it actually triggers the card to be "complete". The end result is that you will have two losses on your card, but the card is done. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if they've changed anything, but this happened to me last week.

Loving the IB buff for lower ranked toons. My warlock is a 4. Played on my Titan last night for a couple of matches. Turned in 4 bounties and got 2 wins, she's now half way to 3.
Alright. I thought you like your Timurs lash?

Great advice here. I've burned all the buffs right at the start and ended up with a 5 win card, while my teammate played it smarter and ended up with an 8 win gold tier card.

Good advice - I am all about protecting the coin investment (even have mercy left over from last week). Personally, I buy them all at once, because once the train starts it ain't stopping. Nothing kills momentum more than going to the reef lol.

I did...before I got my Hawkmoon and Ascended Fatebringer. There are just better weapons available right now for me not to blow motes on an unnecessary handcannon.
I buy the mercy and 1 win coin straight away then I buy the extra win coin later around 5th game. The reason why I don't wait and buy mercy straight away is because sometimes I might have one loss but win the rest if I don't buy mercy then I am losing that one game and then playing from scratch once more.
I thought you had to hit rank 5 on a character for the other characters to receive a buff? I've only had time to hit rank 3 on one of my characters
edit- Reddit had a helpful thread on this that explains

If this weeks Trials is on Anomaly, ill be passing on it. Id rather play Sword Base.
No more shotgun maps with a lot of corners or sniper maps with a lot of hallways.

the only reason to use a spear IMO is to final round. the ROF is too slow otherwise. i heard they took that off too, so it does indeed sound worthless
does spear have a burn? i suppose itd be good in PvE with 6 rounds

Is there even a new one? not seen it drop, only seen Shotty, AR and RPG dropping.
Unless you get Casket Mag. Not great for stability though...
Can it still roll spray & play?

Skolas down last night.
Void was so much easier. The fight was actually fun this time around. Still took us 3 tries.

Not sure about the post HoW ones but mine from February has Void burn. It's been my go to for Void burn Nightfalls. Had it rerolled then for PvE purposes.
