I loved D1 PvP, but not the competitive stuff. I loved the BTB nonsense like summoning sparrows for splatter kills, turret shenanigans, etc.

LOL Exodus Crash
since Season 3, I backed of this Heroic Strike within the first 5 seconds. This strike is broken on Heroic settings LOL.
I want more Super Psions strikes instead

Yep, first 7 were new then did 15 more for sleeper quest and I am now sitting at 8. It's ridiculous, tedious grinding for no good reason. I can't even fathom how many I am going to have to go through to get all 45.
LOL!!!
I'm almost going reset my Valor tomorrow and still nothing
Man when Jade Rabbit works (at seriously stupid long range) it works, but oh my god when it doesn't, it's bad. Like real bad.
What I don't understand is why the fastest TTK weapons in the game are also some of the longest range weapons in the game as well. Sniping at the moment is useless because I can snipe better with a VW than I can with a sniper rifle.
I'm down for VW and GL being great guns, but why the hell are they the only two that got so much love?

FINALLY! Lucky run #13 to finally pull the sniper. I fully expect it to get it again now just because RNG has to spit on every crumb it gives you. Wooo
I understand the pain. I have played over 500 PvP matches since the patch and got only Jade Rabbit ...
Same.
And it won't even be worth it whenever I do get it.
80/250 kills... For some stability on a terrible gun.
EDIT: I sure do love spawning and before I even finish the animation for the spawn getting killed by a tractor cannon. What I love more is that every single teammate had a KDR of .3 to .5. What I love more is that I somehow managed a 1.13 despite never getting any teamshots.
Iron Banner randumbs make me so salty ):

May as well throw this here to see if anybody has similar issues. I finished Escalation Protocol for the first time tonight and then did two more full clears, got the emblem after the first kill but it only shows one kill total. All I have to show from it is 2 total shaders. I'm seeing mixed things on the shaders but it seems like each final boss kill should drop 3? Not really able to find anything definitive on if it is a guaranteed drop of 3 or just very high and I happened to be unlucky. Closest thing I can find with actual constructive commentary is this reddit post. They did not go to the postmaster or get deleted from the postmaster overflowing, they simply never dropped.https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/8j625k/escalation_protocol_no_credit_for_clear/
First clear was on a character that hadn't finished Warmind. I was there for all 7 waves. Oddly enough this gave the emblem that shows one total final boss kill, but no shaders. I couldn't interact with the chest or anything, but that was due to me not having finished Warmind.
Second kill, I was there for all 7 waves. It's very possible I was dead or had not done damage to the final boss after manually respawning, but I certainly participated in the final wave and did plenty of damage. This gave no shaders, but I was able to interact with the chest and got my armor piece since I was now on a character that finished Warmind.
Third kill, same character that I did the second kill on. I was there for all waves, but again may have been dead/died as the boss died. Dropped 2 shaders, nothing else.
While the kill counter increase would have been great, I'm mostly bummed about not getting the shaders and presumably not even having had a chance at the sniper since for all intents and purposes the kill didn't seem to count.

Gotcha, thanks. Can definitely deal with the fact that I was just very unlucky then.
You should have gotten 3 shaders, the whole loot pool is messed up this week - shaders and other cosmetics not dropping. On my last kill I got zero drops from boss - not even a shader.
Seriously. I played Iron Banner for nearly 9 hours straight. In that time I got four exotic drops, plus a Jade Rabbit catalyst. Just...wow.
I'm rank 32 with Saladin. I have all the ornaments except for the chest piece, with only 29 heavy weapon kills remaining, for it's completion.

I have never been more in tune with a weapon in PVP than I have the Battle Scar. I love its aesthetic, it's basically a lightweight kinetic Darkest Before. It's so damn crisp, and it's fun in PVE as well. I don't think I've ever felt more confident hipfiring. I think this is gonna be a permanent for my Titan's kinetic slot this season.
It should be able to drop in all matchmade crucible activities, a clanmate got his Jade Rabbit catalyst after a trials match. And yes it has to be a win.
Love the sights and how it looks.
Don't like the recoil though, wish it had a different perk other than full auto. Zen Moment would make it soooo nice.
Rank 21 in Iron Banner. Once I get 25 I will never play this again. 6v6 does not work well with these maps, spawns, and ammo system.
I can't decide between Apotheosis Veil or Nezarec's Sin. Sin is a nice consistent boost to grenade gen but the Veil's tractor/grenade/bomb/grenade combo is tasty.
I'm loving Jade Rabbit in IB where you're rewarded for owning lanes vs running around crazy.
Just have to make sure and pair it with a decent energy weapon for close encounters.

Nah I'm totally serious I've even soloed the boss room of the strike using the Sturm quest, just for fun.
The beams of light don't bother me because I just kill the enemies before going through.
I can tell by how many people are quitting the strike lately that the hate is real though. It's clearly disliked by a lot especially with the increased difficulty on Heroic. Bungie's probably making the correct move in removing it.
Like the Ikelos SMG. My God. It's godly in team shots/partner shots. And is just good in general.
yeah they should be a higer percent change for a catalyst for the weapon your using.. I only have 4 soo far and i neverwas using the gun i got it for! at the time it dropped.
grinds are great and all but specific grinds are better, its why ppl grinded out strikes all day long in d1 that and you could fucking pick the damn strike you wanted.. i miss that so much :( so giving us just a little bit better percent chance to drop a catalyst with the gun we want it from would be great.
Wait, this means I don't even have to be using the Jade Rabbit to get it's catalyst?!
WHY ELSE HAVE I BEEN USING THIS GODFORESAKEN WEAPON
Nope- just has to be in your collection. If you hate the Jade Rabbit why do you care if you get the catalyst?
What sucks is I LOVED Jade Rabbit in D1. On a map like Bannerfall or Pantheon you could absolutely slay! I don't have one yet in D2 but it sounds like my Song of Justice VI might still be a better option. Love that ornament too...if I could ever get that as well.
lol damn mang nope its random AF use your favs and hope for the best!
oy
also oh man that reminds me, getting the Void kills in Crucible for Thorn in D1. As a Titan.
Turns out solo MM wasn't fixed for IB and they said it would fixed right before it ends, haha
Have to use the special attack on every lvl 7 escalation protocol final boss, or so I've heard.
