Over 40+ rumble matches, not a single win today. This is crazy, 40% of my games have been crazy lag, 20% I join in with someone 800+ already and the other 40% I just get out played.

Decided to throw this together. Since I'll be pvping this coming week(Boy I'm really hyping myself up aren't I), I decided to look at the various PvP metas of destiny, and then translate it to Gif form-
Assault Rifle Meta-
Hand Cannon meta-
Shotgun Meta-
Pulse Rifle Meta-
Sniper Rifle meta-
Aaaand as of recently we're back to the Hand cannon meta-
Thank you, this has been a visual journey through Destinys many metas.

I don't know, i haven't played in months. What I do know is that I'm going to bring Thorn back. And the tears of my enemies shall be glorious, for I shall bathe in them and nourish myself with them.

God bless frinkiac
I'm down...PSN: GhostFaceDon
When I die to MIDA, I feel like I have no time to react. Which doesn't square with it's TTK unless someone hits only headshots. It seems off.

Haha
You foolish Guardians, I will show you the err of the ways with the Thorn. Let the nectar flow from your pierced skin, and nourish my plants, for only then will the sweetest smelling and brightest roses can be born, for only then will your grave be a mark of beauty.
I feel the same way.
Hahahaha. Bravo bravo. Although, why the heck is a pulse rifle represented with Homer using a Gatling gun?

Use that Hawksaw breh
Yo, to girl straight up broke into your house.
The only guns that consistently outshoot my MIDA are high-impact scouts like Colovance's Duty. If you think MIDA has a surprisingly fast ttk, try one of those out. Had a match where like three people were using them and they were the bane of my existence. I'm just glad they never had the opportunity to teamshoot me with them.
^This so much - I never bothered much with MIDA in Y1 because it felt like I was shooting BBs at people. They must have stealth-buffed the AA or something because it actually feels like an exotic now, and not just a bad gun with good perks.
It really does feel so different from Y1 MIDA. It was my favorite during Y1 IB and I used it just because I liked to move fast. It always felt weak though. Like I was sacrificing TTK for speed, range and AA. Now it feels like it has no downside and I never remember dying so fast from it.

I kept the Outlaw, Hammer Forged, Handlaid stock roll. I use it here and there now. It's good!
I have six Colo, two Last Extremity, and a god roll Cocytus and use them more than any other gun archetype atm.
Like I was getting at with Todd, I don't lose encounters where I'm clued in. I just seem to die too damn fast to MIDA when caught unaware. It feels flukey as hell.

3 Midas+shotguns is the new 3 sunsingers for me in terms of annoyance.
I swear to god the TTK of Mida is something like 0.3 seconds.

Yeah the 4SK is brutal with that RoF. If MIDA has the first shot you don't stand much of a chance at landing 3 at a lower RoF. I ran with a NL Shadow for a while, and it feels good - not bad for challenging MIDA at a disadvantage, but just not enough oomph for the bodyshot cleanups on the escapees. Left too many survivors.
If a team is chock full of MIDAs, I do elicit an involuntary groan. That's not a good sign.
But, hey, I've been on a good win streak since slightly more CBMM was implemented. I feel like I am getting a lot more sniper precision kills again and am dying while seemingly narrowly making it to safe cover less.
MIDA is annoying, but I don't feel like I'm getting straight up fucked by lag independent of the guns in use like I was a week ago. I actually had fun in PvP tonight.
I tend to try and stay at sniper-like distances with the high impact scouts. Challenging a MIDA at midrange is a bad idea, yes. Tuonela does surprisingly well in the MIDA-midrange bread and butter area fwiw.
AND you get crazy flinch from it too.
So:
-Walk faster
-Highest AA
-Great range
-Third Eye
-Ridiculous flinch
-Solid TTK
Downsides:
???????????????
(Shitty at shotgun range I guess?)
Still looking? Trying to go to Mercury, or just playing for Bounties?

Thanks Biggy and Igor. My fourth Doctrine with range finder at 313. I'll never get it with counterbalance dammit! And, funnily enough, another Mida.

Mix of both.
I think PRs need a tiny buff (keep the new range drop off, but let Nirwen class PRs still consistently three burst) and HCs need less bloom RNG. I wouldn't mind seeing mid and high impact autos get a small positive bump. The low impact bullet hose, Dr. Doctrine of Nopechasm class is fine as is.
I don't think MIDA is too good. I do think the other classes of guns have been weakened gradually, patch after patch, while scouts remained untouched.
Overall, this meta has grown on me. Some HCs are still okay and high impact scouts are fun as hell (for me, ymmv).
