If you can’t beat the (as you seem to suggest) crap player, than you mustn’t be very good. So you shouldn’t be able to call yourself a good player if you can’t handle the chaos of the button masher.

If you cannot outplay someone who has sluggish skills using both those weapons you are not as good as you think you are in PVP, to begin with. Assuming you can hit “headshots blindfolded” you can definitively outplay any of the “dad’s” weapons. Heck, there are even blues that can outplay those fusion rifles easily.

You must not be very good if you can hit blindfolded headshots and still get outplayed.

You aren’t a good player if you can’t counter Dad Builds

all I’m hearing in my replies are whiny dads who want to get to max skill rank in a competitive game while still only playing 2 hours a week and just don’t care to get better at something but want all the rewards of it anyway

Here’s a thought: stop playing Destiny 2. This has two clear benefits: you’ll get high off the smell of your own farts in another game and nobody else in the Destiny 2 playerbase has to deal with your dumb ass.

I’m a dad and I don’t wrap my self worth up in my gaming abilities. I fucking love doing dad builds and I never thought to name it like this. It just means a comparative lack of fussing around for how much fun you can have playing a video game. I don’t spend hours in the character creator on an RPG, I spend five…

So you think a weapon that doesn’t need to be aimed more carefully then “the enemy is somewhere on the screen” should be equally matched against a gun that needs consistent headshots?

If you’re so damn good at the game, how is it that you’re getting beaten by a filthy casual?

Bad players really shouldn’t beat good players on average. You can always get surprised or whatever, but if you are getting beat on a regular basis you are either, A, not as good as you think or, B, there is a game balance problem and you should just switch to the more effective gear until the balance is fixed. If…

I’m not offended.

If the “Dad Build” is beating the “Comp Build” doesn’t that by definition mean that it’s now a “Comp Build” and the “hardcore” should match up to the new meta? At that point, it then becomes all about skill, map awareness, etc. since the weapons are on an even playing field.

Except the gaming landscape is made up of more casuals then hard core players. Hard core players are not the target audience especially with massive games like destiny. You have that crap attitude that all elitist have.

This is someone who clearly hates everything about themselves except the fact that they’re good at videogames

Actually most of what you’re hearing is “fucking chill”. But hey, being mad on the internet is fun I guess.

I feel like you’re waaaay over reading this.

You could work on your movement, game sense, and aim all you want, but at the end of the day what’s the point when you can just strap on a jotunn or erentil or whatever and do the same thing?

Holy shit dude, take a breath.

And when those of us that are gainfully employed stop buying those games and you can’t get them anymore I don’t wanna hear any more of your tears.

Hell, I didn’t want to hear these tears.

so much negative energy, dude
