I read when you posted that, lol, you should get a title for that alone. :p
And I understand... it sucks when something is out of reach. There are ways to cheese glory though, not sure if we're allowed to talk about it here though... but it's an option.
And I'm pretty sure a large amount of Recluse users either did this or bought recovery....
LOL Corn runs a large & active clan & knows everyone on Discord, he doesn't actually need any of this advice. He's just being avoidant here because like too many people, despite dozens of raid clears he's let the sweatlords in quickplay convince him he's somehow fundamentally inadequate for Crucible.
People refuse to believe it, but going positive really does just require a decent loadout, map & route knowledge, and ingraining the process of which decisions to make in which situations. Add in radar reading, and looking around to see where your teammates names are and flanking the people they're shooting (I figured out literally every PvP streamer eats off this trick) or grouping up so you don't have to sweat it if you can't win your 1v1s yet. That overcomes mortal reaction times & thumbskill enough that you can regularly achieve mediocrity.
And thumbskill does improve, I'm not saying everyone can be in Primal but sucking has a lot to do with the fact that PvP demands certain articulations of thumb muscles that you just haven't been called on to make before. Put the time in and the brain _will_ make at least some of those connections over weeks & months. It's not about being 17 or whatever.
I speak from being well experienced at life as a Crucible punching bag who is still average on his best day, just pick a loadout & commit to it so you can learn the ins & outs of those weapons' recoil, range & weaknesses. What situations you can win and where you need to insta-bail. Keep doing at least Shaxx's bounties every day. After a while you've seen enough situations on every map that it stops being unfamiliar or intimidating.
Also, follow PvP youtubers. Because the game is first person, you're always seeing their routes, decisions, use of cover & process of target acquisition first hand, and if you're actively engaged in watching you'll internalize some of this over time too.
All this took me from like no competitive FPS experience and a .76 KD in D1 to being able to solo Luna's Howl, Revoker & Recluse. (Don't ask about Moutaintop, I can't help me with that either).
