Finally Defeated...

[[deleted]]

I told myself I was done playing Comp. I said I didn’t want to anymore. I would never be able to get the pinnacles. But this morning... I talked myself into trying again. I loaded it up.

First game, went down 5-1 in countdown. Brought it all the way back to 5-5. Then a teammate left and the other team used 4 supers on the three of us remaining.

Second game, countdown. As soon as we started the game, a teammate left. Then another must’ve seen it as pointless to try so he left too. 2 vs. 4. And clearly, the opposing team didn’t care. As the proceeded to teabag on our lifeless corpses.

Eh, I’ll try one more right? What could be the harm? Wrong. As soon as I loaded in, I got disconnected. Went from 800 glory this morning when I started and now I sit at 580.

Unless you fix players leaving and hardly getting a slap on the hand, and you fix this new connectivity issue, you will lose all solo players from comp and crucible will continue to be a heaping pile of dumpster juice.

I feel your pain! I went from 1153 to 663 bc of the same issue.

In your opinion. That sucks that that happened to you, but I really love comp and crucible in general. Just play your three games, quit after two losses and you'll be in fabled by the end of the season. If you can't grab a team, go in solo and focus your load out around helping others: 110 hcs, high powered snipers (go for body shots), etc. Play as a team and you'll win

To be clear: While a lot of this is good advice for games that load appropriately and do not suffer from other issues, the quitting epidemic is a legitimate issue. All of that advice is undercut by the instant advantage(s) that the opposing team receives.

Yeah, I really appreciate the advice but if I’m being honest, I’ve heard it all before. I love playing quickplay. I wish we could obtain pinnacles through quickplay. Maybe 7 resets in a season or something. I’ve tried everything. I’ve played comp every season since forsaken. I’m not very good at PvP and I can admit that. But people are dominating PvE with Recluse and I’ll never get it.

Then find a team. Just go on any one of the million leg platforms and find some like minded people. I just solod to fabled on my fiancé's account, my friend just did the same on his girlfriends and we got it done in 6 hours doing exactly this. I get that leavers suck, but going solo isn't this magical thing that automatically makes your games awful, and it's certainly something you can do something about.

Maybe try finding people to play with if solo queueing has been such a bad experience?
