Yeah, it's in PGS. Also jump in the discord. Generally there's always something going on and you can get things going much faster in there.

Attention xim and paddle users...

If you throw in some Counter Strike 1.3 style crouches in a 1v1 you'll never lose a gun fight again. More than two crouches and you're officially teabagging your enemy as you're killing him and it's extremely teir.

Haven't really dug into crucible much. I'm way more of a PvE player with this stuff when its fresh. Few nights of QP and the one Flawless card is about it so far. Sniping is in a real bad place right now though. It's much harder to fight the fact that ammo is scarce, matches are shorter and there's less things to shoot at in a situation that encourages a good snipe.

That said, the Trials sniper is loving lit. After that the blue sniper Aachen-LR2 is pretty ace; Ambush and Snapshot. I still like Single Clap quite a bit because explosive rounds is kinda good in this meta. It takes way longer for shields to regen so people are more apt to engaging you without full life and with everyone hugging walls so going for the wall/body shot on a dude that's half health is netting a surprising amount of kills I wouldn't even bother with in D1

I'll never give up sniping in Crucible no matter how bad Bungie makes it because

doming some nerd out of his super is the most satisfying thing ever.

I gotta give it to Bungie though, there are drat near zero medium to long range lanes you can set up shop in. Anything that resembles a D1 sniping lane is half the length and has 3 other routes to it.

There's something very wrong with their "random" system. I just spent a couple hours dinking around the EDZ, going from public event to event, and EVERY single one was a Fallen glimmer extraction. At least seven in a row.

Yes, thank you, I'm aware. These are spots that can be one of two or three different events (taken blights, cabal intel, etc).

During the weekly flashpoints, the selected region has extra bosses and events. If you can recall the time when it was the EDZ during week 1, you might remember the boss colossus that appeared during the taken public event, or the extra-tough warhound that spawned during the excavation drill event near the fallen pike gangs. Basically the flashpoint public events are a little bit tougher than normal.

Hunters have both of the two best pvp exotics (Foetracer and Knucklehead Radar), so I'm not sure where this is coming from.

Knucklehead radar is pointless with Mida. Foetracer is good but doesn't make up for the pointless dodge and weak grenades.

Dodge can be used every 20 seconds (if slotted), can turn you invisible/let you dodge any damage/whatever and reloads your guns. It's hardly pointless.

People are only using MIDA because of the radar situation. Nameless midnight is legit better than MIDA except for the radar situation. There are also plenty of other guns with faster TTKs.

Use AoE grenades for area denial instead of for damage, plus you get another area denial tool in the smoke bomb melee, and can turn invis with the dodge, which isn't great but can save you for a second or so which vanilla dodge probably can't.

hahahaha Shadestep was THE defining perk for high end crucible play in D1 for more reasons than you're aware of and the fact it still exists in D2, even if at a lesser capacity (cooldown), means its extraordinarily powerful still.

I'm sorry you're bad at pvp.
