I really don't know about CB anymore, they have been keen to adjust popular stuff but CB isn't necessarily OP especially in this dumb rear end secondary focused meta.

Closest thing was the MiDa stagger round nerf but that poo poo was appreciably annoying and I'm glad it's gone.

It does have a trade-off it makes your vertical recoil substantially more dramatic.

They are literally redoing the perk trees to have QuickDraw on max range shotguns and there's and artifact that removes sprint cool down so you can sprint out of slide no problem

Sorry my fresh low ELO couldn't save us from that last game of Control. :negative:

Ehh there were two fireteams of full scarab bros and some were diamond trials, and we had one counter-scarab (unless our pubbie who died 22 times had one).

Those are the breaks with a small playerbase and tbqh we gave them a good match.

There are about 12 real guns in destiny they just dress them all up a bit to get the 42,069 we can use.

What I'm saying is that sidearm will do the same dps as whatever class of sidearm it is based on.

Fusions seem like strategy and proximity are the name of the game but truly, controlling your shots is far more important. Push down when it wants to slide upward, they lasers.

I might be wrong here but it looks like you only hit him with 4/7 of your 47 damage bolts and the dude in front winged him for some damage immediately prior.

Scoring seems to back this up, was 10,495 and then your kill (100), streak bonus (50) and the dude's assist points (50) take it to 10,695.

Not saying that's not a sick fusion snipe but you probably would have left that dude absolute in a straight 1v1. I say probably because maybe you would have had another bolt hit if the dude hadn't winged him. But maybe not as that stuff depends a ton on the server and connections.

(Is that an Ashravens with rifled? I know it's not the stock one as it's void but I'm curious. )

That's a Rifled Barrel Ashraven's, aka one of (I believe) 3 y2 FRs that can break 50 range along with Panta Rhei and Plan C iirc, right? Pretty good evidence as to how they need an across the board range boost. Not a big one, like 15% would help a lot.

(buy the Panta Rhei from the crucible vendor, it's a hidden monster. Straight up recoil, hella range, kneepads make your slide last as long as the charge)

I honestly don't think who is a good player and who would win matches will change based on any changes to the meta so that means a few things:

We should analyze meta changes based on what's fun to play

We should analyze meta changes based on what's fun to play against and get beaten by.

Also i don't think the game can be balanced for high level competitive play while also being fun for the vast majority of players, there's a reason sweats have gravitated towards separate rulesets and I think that's good.

The only issue is that bungie have said this a few times and it's all just bullshit lies.

I'm positive that they did relax the band from which you're pulling around your skill level. I'm now matching against people I have no right matching with if it's strong sbmm. Unfortunately they are above me lol. I really think it's the sbmm combined with only the hardcore left pvping this dumb game.

Oh I agree. I went from dropping solo against all diamond level dudes (which is fair but annoying) to now that plus matching up against streamers and poo poo. I think what Bungie did is opened up the top level brackets into a free for all while still protecting the nooblords from anyone good. Basically I'm happy to stay positive when I drop solo and I have to really work for it. (On that note 3v3 freelance has been a hilarious little diversion that's quite a bit different, likely due to retards thinking that good players won't roll solo and that they'll be safe therein).

I'll still drop 1.5-2.2 the second I pull in anyone below me to my team, which is nice, but they still get shat on hard which is lame.

Crucible Radio from last week had Deej and Derek Carroll on it, was actually really informative. Deej waxes poetically like he's some kind of video game philosopher but overall lots of good info.

I did think it was interesting how he talked about private matches making the "Bungie bounties" so much better because, as of right now, whenever they do it they end up fighting the same people multiple in the PNW due to the regional connection bias of the matchmaking.

I know everyone will cry bullshit at that but I doubt he made it up.

I support the sniper super changes.

Obviously it reduces the skill ceiling slightly and caters a bit to nooblords, but supers are a cool part of the game and should be difficult to deal with. As it stands you can still teamshot a super to death pretty easily, which is good. Supers should inspire awe and require coordination or a super to counter imho. This is not going back to Sunbreakers that you couldn't even teamshoot

Wasn't this known before? I remember one of the devs talking about cones (hell it spawned that cone bros meme that I'm sure I just brought back again) and how shots fired can land anywhere in that cone, somewhat based on your range stat. This is different from the "bloom", which would be an expansion of the cone with each shot.
