Use the sliding perk. Slide before every gun fight and slide to get a quick load when you dont have time for a full reload.

When i have that gun on im pretty much in a constant state of sliding and it works well.

QD feels weak and pointless on that gun

Using the sliding perk now and it's... I mean, the other sliding perk has an icon on the screen and maybe makes a noise, yeah? It does something to indicate that it's active, how long it will be active, etc.

It's cool tho, I play Bungie games and therefore am used to living in an insane, gaslit world.

1.1.4 feedback:

Hunter Shadowshot desperately needs to tether enemies immediately given that Titans and Warlocks are now just jetting by them now without getting snagged.

Also, It's time for dodge to be removed as Hunter class ability and replaced with something new in a world where Shoulder Charge must be preserved as a bastion of gamers mastering something in a way which gives unintended benefit. That's precisely why Shadestep went from two in a single moment to one every few seconds to a couple a minute, for the same reasoning SC was nerfed. And now with 1.1.4 it's had most remaining utility removed.

Hunters are the slowest class, super loving lol, and Nightstalkers with a Super which can be escaped easily and shot to death from afar, and when it snags it gives, what, a 15% damage boost or something sad.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

nightstalkers ran the game for like seven months and they should stay bad for the rest of the games lifespan so I don't need to deal with their purple bullshit

6's is pretty good, but needs some balance help. Games seemed to mostly be a 1 way affair, with you or the other team stomping until the mercy rule activates. I played 7-8 games and I only had one competitive game where both teams were over 100 at the end.

I like to use main ingredient as my heavy, but with the extra players I ended up switching to a rocket launcher to deny capture points to avoid leaving ammo for enemies . Colony is still obnoxious for spamming points.

Lag seemed to be worse for me. I would take damage and drop behind cover, and more than once the entire second vigilance wing burst would go through cover to kill me. I still think precision framed ARs have too much range, but I am used to Halo AR that miss beyond shotgun range.

Games were more chaotic, which is better than boring rear end 4V4.

6s is good, but very laggy. No shock. I'll play for the population but it's not quite scratching the itch for me.

Problem with games and being competitive tho is that Control has been three different games in the last year alone, being the final D1 iteration, D2 base, and now D2 6s, each with their own rules and nuance. Even good players are getting a bit lost as it seems bad players with little strategy are hitting on the basic winning note of, capture zones. If you don't have two zones, don't get into a fight. Teamshooting has actual teams more sticking together and playing bully but they only have one zone, and then none. D2 base also seems to have forcibly caused people to forget to DEFEND a zone, like it even says to do when you look at it, in exchange for running in a circle capping zones with their team, perpetually playing Cat & Mouse with the other team doing the same poo poo. People are even forgetting to cap their home spawn zone at the beginning of matches, or the lot of them capping when it's explicitly stated 3 stack is max benefit.

There's so much different, old, forgotten, new to some, that yeah, I'm not surprised at all by some of the more surprising match results.

I played last night and only had 2 mercy rule games, one of which was due to like 3 people not doing anything. I was solo queuing and the games seemed pretty competitive to me and I didn't have any noticeable lag though I did have like 4 games just die during queue right at the beginning. Uriels still seems to be everywhere.

Literally the only lag I've ever seen in d2 has been in the 15 games of 6v6 I've now played. I'd believe that the move to 4v4 was for network health purposes.

Also a review of my matches on Grindr destinytracker.com says that every single match was a 75%+ favor one way or the other. Certainly felt that way!

In conclusion, 6v6 is fun even though their sbmm and cbmm poop the bed

It's funny that you say this because I theorized last night that they left in one of the maps (forget which) for the very same reason. It also doesn't seem like Midtown is in there, I think that would be one of the better maps for 6s

Exactly this, my friend and I got teamed with a group of 3 versus a group of 5 and the individual skill kept it close until the supers came up and you could just hear them calling them out and rolling us.
