I know that D1 has come to an end but still I would appreciate if out there there is any experienced player who could help me understand what am I doing wrong when trying to counter handcannons.
I'm using Blind Perdition adept + wormwood/ice breaker and in average I'm always loosing encounters against handcannons unless I manage to put enough distance and kill fast (rare).
Please no obvious/ridiculous suggestions such as "radar awareness" or "aim better" or "that's the meta bro, grab a Palindrome yourself"...I already know that but I'm sure my gun is not that bad and I've seen lots of good players doing much better than me against the meta. When I tried asking them they don't know what to say.
Anyone willing to help?

Spend a few crucible games working on movement. Don't attack you enemies just practice dodging, getting in and out of engagement ranges and breaking sight lines. When you find yourself comfortable enough with movement that you can survive 3 or more seconds within their engagement range, then start working on offensive plays. Also don't use default controls. Bumper jumper or puppeteer will allow you to jump or crouch respectively without taking your thumbs off the control sticks making it harder for them to land head shots while keeping your aim steady. Good luck
