Nice audio and in general just really enjoyable to watch. There is only one thing I would want, and that would be the PvP-Map breakdown video. Keep up the amazing work. You definitely deserved the like and sub from me. ;)

    This video was actually quite helpful! I play on pc and when I die it normally is because of my positioning, whether it be a bad push or not having proper cover. Though most times when I do make a bad push I realize it right as it's too late
    This video will surely help me be more aware in the future!

  • @Tronicate
    @Tronicate Před 4 lety +6

    I have noticed recently when playing Destiny, especially in PVP, that the majority of players I come across have very strong shields and it would be great to learn what kind of weapons are best to penetrate them. I have noticed this as my shields are incredibly weak and was hoping you could make a video on how to make your shields stronger. A good example is how you only need to shoot the sniper rifle once for a kill but for me, it usually takes around 3 direct hits. I think this would definitely help more players :D

    • @dominickpissegga2128
      @dominickpissegga2128 Před 4 lety

      There are no snipers that will straight up kill you in one shot unless it's a headshot or a specific circumstance, the closest is a 2 shot body. The reason you're taking 3 shots to kill someone is because you're most likely using a rapid fire frame sniper, which shoots very fast, but takes 3 shots to kill. I'd recommend getting an adaptive or aggressive frame sniper like the beloved, sole survivor, or tatara's gaze.

    Great video & analysis, though I would have liked to have seen more examples of good play vs bad play, with perhaps a breakdown on where/why would have been a better position to take up. Why position A is better than position B whilst in a private match would be a good way of doing this and if you do the map guide that would be useful!

    Great video. But you forgot to mention communication. I am a pretty good player and I do make mistakes while playing Crucible. But I also learn from my mistakes and I try to improve my experience playing Destiny 2. I have been playing Destiny since Destiny 1 and I must say that I am pretty good at playing Destiny. Plus I like to go into the action and try not to hide. But if I need to hide from danger I will seek cover and start shooting. I will take this video and learn from it. Also I have been playing video games since I was a kid and I would spend hours and days just to get something from that game. Even if I have to grind for a certain weapon or armor, leveling up my character. Thank you for showing us your video and keep up the great work bro.

    You make an excellent point about good players breaking those rules, but I’d like to add that an important factor when breaking those rules is ‘predictability’. Good players know what the theoretical best or safe option is allowing to predict what you’re gonna do, so sometimes breaking the rules for the sake of not being obvious is a good play.

    It is SO important not to overextend. If you're going to full send a solo push, you do it for only a couple reasons. You're smashing the other team in Casual. You're pulling a hard flank/distraction. You have Super or Heavy, and you can kill the first person fast enough to move on to the next with no problems or escape.
    You have to EXPECT to die, because you are willingly running into the other team's line of sight, or at least you most likely are.

    And then there's Net Code.
    Fully clears a corner, still gets clipped in the head.
    Sometimes you try to Disengage as early as peeking/ 1 shot fired, and before you can get 2ft away from cover, you're already down to 3% health. Forcing you to contest a kill hungry player just itching for that last 3% hp.
    Now you can either admit that they're good at landing hella tight shots, or your character experiences cold feet when trying to dip out.
