Frustrated. Not improving. Need advice
Hi,
I'm a year 1 player and in pve I've done almost everything. I was very occasionally playing pvp however since December I decided that I really wanted to get better in pvp. I am a very committed person and I take quite seriously the goal of improving. I'm playing only pvp now, every day, at least 2 hours. I watch lots of videos about strategies and tips and I know that I have to have realistic expectations.
Despite my best efforts I feel very frustrated and disappointed. In almost 3 months my kd has improved only from 0.72 to 0.73. I feel like I am constantly massacred in the crucible by players a lot more experienced than me and that makes me sad because the match-making should be skill based and I don't understand why I end up with people so above my level.
Trials of osiris is literally out of discussion. It is over crowded by professionals (which literally do that for money) and I feel like I'm just feeding easy kills for them without learning anything at all.
As many pro player suggest in their videos I'm trying to play a lot of Rumble to improve my gun skills and be able to compete in 1v1 engagements. Well every time I play I normally lose very bad the first 3-4 matches and only after the match making breaks those teams 4 times I can finally find more "affordable" players at a level I can compete and learn. The problem is that it happens over & over every day. So before I can enjoy a pvp match it takes roughly 1 hour of hard defeats every day which is tedious, annoying and it really challenges my patience.
I don't understand, I can do all the hard raids easily so I'm not a newbie in this game but in pvp either I am so so unbelievably terrible... or the level of pvp players out there is tremendously high ....or the skill-based match making literally fails all the time to put me with the right players and it take time to re-understand it every day.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there anything else I'm missing and that I should do to improve?
Thanks

Edited by GamerCone: 2/24/2017 4:08:55 PMThe key to getting better at pvp is understanding your load out's strength and weaknesses so you can position yourself properly and get the jump on your enemy. Different weapon choices will give you advantages and disadvantages in different types of engagements, and you need to know how to play to the advantages. Another important aspect of PvP is understanding your radar and using it effectively to prejudge your enemies position before you engage them. Don't force engagements that put you at a distinct disadvantage. Disengage and reposition, bait out your enemy, use your grenades to cover your flank when you're being double teamed, or to force a predictable movement from your enemy and put you at a distinct advantage. I'm not the best PvP player, but I have been playing a lot more PvP over the past 3 months or so, and have been steadily improving. Like everything in life it takes practice, but it's important to remember it's not about who has the best aim, just like it's not about who's the strongest in a wrestling match. It's about tactics and judging the risk of your positioning and movement in every engagement and making smart plays. Hope this helps a little and good luck!👍🏻
