[@ShadowDestiny]

well there's actually an important distinction to make here. While I may kill the entire enemy team in some of these clips, I never fight in a 1v6. I take 6 1v1s back to back to back and eventually come out on top.

@@iAowe you post it. I looked at your montage, and it's good and all, but it's low key kinda boring. I left a comment on my thoughts

[@VivoD]

Keeping yourself alive is a critical factor in successful matches, great advice here. Also would like to add that popping a roaming super even if you get zero kills is effective in helping you get map control. Most people's (myself included) first reaction to hearing a Behemoth or Dawnblade proc is to just RUN. So even if you don't get a kill, you can scare the enemy out of position. I also like to follow a teammate who's popped their super to try to support with gunfire or abilities, just keep the pressure on.

[@ShadowDestiny]

facts! thanks for the comment

[@destroreact5706]

Another thing is, supers aren't invincible. While I do hate players just running at them with shotguns and dying right away, i hate it even more when a super is out in the open and my teammates will run away instead of team-shooting it, resulting in loss of map control and most probably heavy ammo

[@Moonlight-ux5ln]

[@thepaf8695]

@@thejokestersquad3686 new/unskilled players often wear blue gear

[@raz0rbladeapolo]

There is some contention, but the most widespread origin is considered to come from the Battlefield series as non squad members showed as blue on the radar rather than the green of those in your squad. I had previously heard the term used interchangeably with “smurf” in vanilla WoW around 2005 to describe someone still wearing blue gear despite being at the level that they should be in purple gear. Destiny, of course, has its own evolutions and usage. In all of Destiny 1 and until post Forsaken D2, I had only ever heard the word used in a manner to describe someone as bad or a “newb/n00b”. It evolved over time to where I know hear it about 50/50 as derogatory or just random players/teammates.

[@Tomservo2]

These are all great tips, I'm still pretty trash at pvp, so I'll definitely try to make the most of these! One story of adapting that I have from a few months ago. Me and a friend were playing survival on that Titan map, I think the Rig, and in the first few rounds we kept rushing B and getting slaughtered. So in like round 3 or 4, I brought up that we kept losing when going inside and that we should try staying outside. And that helped us win the next few rounds. We still lost in the end, but realizing that issue and adapting helped give us a boost. Being able to recognize what you're doing wrong, and how you can fix it is very important.

[@ShadowDestiny]

This is absolutely true! Changing up your strategy mid game is really important, especially when you’re losing. Thanks for sharing your story bro

[@casartherandom3010]

One I would like to add is that you should stay calm and not rage. Rage blinds you and causes you to get more aggressive. That will hurt your K/D too. But I will say, this was such a big help. I played three matches today in control and got one of my first ever Ghost in the Shadow. It really wasn't hard to pick my battles while using corners on a typically ranged map (Rusted Land). I also found two guns that really got me working as best I can. The two being Waking Vigil and Fractethyst. I didn't think it was going to help when I first listened, but being in control of an engagement is amazing.

[@zzznardszzz4715]

I made a modest improvement in my play when I decided to put away Felwinters, Igneous, Steady Hand, Bottom Dollar, etc (the weapons we’ve all been told are the best), and went back to Suros, Cerberus, Gnawing Hunger, Hard Light, etc (the weapons that feel best for my play style)

[@WaterGates1]

Drilling these points home is what separates the good from great players. I'm a 1.3 kd who has the short term goal of getting to 1.5. I'm aware of all these tips, but I consistently find myself doing the opposite, especially when I'm frustrated. It really is difficult to break bad habits, so I'm gonna take your advice for my next session and make sure each category receives my undivided attention.

[@roxette96]

I don't mean to be rude towards certain content creators but i am so happy i found your channel and i can finally get advice from an actual good player with a good K/D, i don't understand why i'd follow advice or watch videos on PvP from people with lower K/D or skill than mine. You are a cracked player with good stats and your videos are thorough and objective.

[@ampotatoman_866]

Dude your videos are so informative and nothing about it makes me feels like I’ve been stupid for making mistakes, you simple just give me the solution for it. Now some of it is easier said than done but it’s entirely appreciated and I plan to use all this info as best I can when I play next

[@radioactive5882]

I whole heartedly agree with the over agressive commitments to killing an opponent. When ever I know someone is chasing me, I always run towards my team mates. The chance of them dying in pursuit goes up exponentially and the worst case scenario is that they kill me before dying to team mates. You get a free Asist or the kills end up net 0 progress for both teams.

[@ShadowDestiny]

Facts

[@Moonlight-ux5ln]

I dip when the targets know my sniping position and the means to take me out, forcing them to chase me 9/10 a few don't notice the two titans charging them until I turn around and start spraying

Steps to Victory: 1. Take a shotgun or a sniper 2. Look for a Corner, crouch 3. Profit

[@dallasstrickland7025]

Tbh, the worst part about supers is how highly critical your teammates often get at how you use it. I swear they always get so upset with you if you don't kill anyone with them (talking about rando teammates by the way). So, your advice helps a lot! I've always felt pressured by teammates to get as many kills as possible. Lol.

[@Painadesu]

The adapting one really helped, I recently kept getting aped by a titan with a shotgun, I started to get frustrated. But I remembered the tip and starting jumping back every time I thought it was him and managed to kill him a few times even if he is better than me over all. (I know I depicted them as brainless, but his primary shots are no push over.)

[@the55thsesenth85]

That last one is super important, every time I play trials my teammates never adapt

[@ShadowDestiny]

totally agree! Something I love about my teammates that I normally run with is we can adapt on the fly and often come back from large deficits. Once we recognize how we're losing, we normally come back from being down 2-0 or 3-0

[@corujariousa]

This video is like an analysis of my PVP flaws. Yes! I know a lot of those principles but, as a occasional solo player, keeping them all in mind and executing on them is hard most of the time. :-) Thanks a lot!

[@benstanfill363]

I'm the same way. It's just a grind. I've slowly started becoming better and it feels nice to see some progress. I'd recommend really finding some guns that work for you as that made a huge difference for me. For example, the gridskipper is my main, but I never used pulses before it. Also, if using a hand cannon I will use a 180 in all but rare circumstances. For special I run a witherhoard, or if dealing with a lot of apes, my toil and trouble.

[@corujariousa]

@@benstanfill363 Thanks. I seems we have lots in common in regards to this game. I have the same weapon preferences. The 120 HCs don't work well for me in PVP, despite the good rolls I have. I prefer the 180s as well and get good results despite them not being meta. I have a good SEVENTH SERAPH OFFICER REVOLVER and just got a decent SURVIVOR'S EPITAPH. They work well for me. A couple of days ago I got a good GRIDSKIPPER (range and stability perks), which I immediately masterworked. That is amazing as well. Stay well and enjoy the game!

[@gurimisenpai2358]

Hit your shots.

[@zidaanprakash9388]

One reason might be that your guns have bad rolls/are bad as a whole. Another thing is that you should always play for headshots, since even if you hit like 2 shots that are headshots, if the other guy hits all bodies you should win.(that’s assuming your using similar or the same weapons)

[@uhoh9000]

An all-encompassing suggestion: PAY ATTENTION. To everything. Pay attention to the opponent loadout. If you know they're using top tree dawn you can expect them to float in the air. If they're using a shotgun and handcannon you can expect mostly close and mid range engagements. If you notice a certain exotic you can expect them to be using that exotic how it was intended. Look at their subclass, exotic choice, weapons. If they use bubble titan you know they intend to lock down a specific area and they will have damage bonuses and super regen for their team. If they have tether hunter you can expect them to use it primarily as a shutdown. Keep an eye on the super meter so you can be aware that someone you are pursuing may be able to insta-kill you with a shutdown.

For sure. My K/D is nothing special (1.6 something), but that's because I play super aggressive in 6v6 trying to get feed kills. I know when to turn that play style off and play smart. Not saying I'm a Godly player or anything, but K/D doesn't necessarily always reflect a persons skill level.

[@iexcedo6918]

I like the highlight probably one of the most crucial points that was brushed over within the first 30 seconds of the video. Identifying YOUR playstyle. Everyone is slightly different on what they do and how they approach situations. Although this video is a good foundation on what to do and what not to do. But it's pointless if you don't understand how you play. And I like to add in another point recording software is in everything now especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card. If you truly want to improve yourself start recording your games for a session and go back and watch what you did. Because there are numerous things you miss In the heat of the moment.

[@excaliburlegend7]

This is great, I've found myself making many of those mistakes while playing and didn't even realize what I was doing wrong.

[@exxpo7870]

I've been having a bad streak with my k/d recently because I am just now returning after last playing during forsaken, I found that the brute force strategies I was used to gets me killed a lot more often than I used to. Being a titan with bad burst mobility options for mid engagement (Like hunter dodge, dawnblade dash, void blink, etc.) forced me to look back at my kit to see what I COULD use. I now make sure to position myself in tight corridors and block them off with barricades preemptively. If I can tunnel them into a more fair fighting space, it makes my positioning all the better. I looked over my kit, and took time with my positioning and instead of pushing new zones, I kept lock on zones where I could lock them down. I saw instant improvement in my k/d and matches won. Its hard going from decent in PvP to bottom feeder, but I'll get back up there one day!

[@miran6341]

Excellent video. Very valid points and amazing explaining. Good job! My one complaint. Regarding your last point with adaptation. The scenario you mentioned, the aping team and distance, that is absolutely true, but in a 6v6 scenario when your mates will not adapt to it, you adapting will def help you live longer, but you will still succumb as your mates are running in like its a black hole in the middle of the map. As if they go in and die and leave you keeping your distance (though aggresively) it will still tank your KD. So some fights are really lost from the get go, but at least yoylu can train your positioning. Its hard not to get angry at situations like this but I guess you take them to learn something new (. 10 times in a row :( ).

[@Reign_Abov3_610]

I gotta say, all your tips are ABSOLUTELY great and very informative. Unfortunately it's easier to disengage as a hunter more than any other class. I'm a Titan main and I get that you can disengage with the barrier but the animation isn't as fast as the hunter dodge so all that we basically have is the shiver strike, which has a long cooldown depending on your strength level. I've learned to adapt my gameplay more by bring my opponents to me rather than being a foolish Titan that runs in straight lines lmao. I actually make due running 100 mobil, 100 resil, 60 recov and 70 str. Sometimes I might run 90 mobil, 100 str and 70 to 80 recovery to get back into fights faster. All depends on my mood honestly

@@ShadowDestiny That'd be awesome! I have started going down your video Playlist and I can't believe you don't have a bigger following! Rest assured I am gonna be recommending you to anyone who'd listen lol. You're very talented and I love how organized your videos are. And how you break down stuff into its barest components. There are a lot of "big" content creators out there who only make stuff for the pros and the seasoned. And their videos always leaves me with questions like, "okay, but how do you do that exactly?" I never have to do that with your videos! You've definitely earned a follower and a subscriber in me. I'll drop in to say hi on Twitch sometime soon.

Another tip: Avoid ADS for too long in one direction. You’re liable to get snuck up on and killed by a sliding shotty user. Or simply by someone who flanked and you were ADS so you didn’t see the radar. Another tip: always always always check the radar. It gives you the general direction of where the enemy is and if he’s above or below you based on the opacity of the color. As well as the number of enemies that are nearby. Keep your engagements only with 1 enemy and the moment you see another guy just high tail it outta there cuz you’re gonna die. But the main tip is just don’t ADS too long. It should be in and out. You always want eyes on that radar. I improved from a 1.2 to a 1.46 following these rules. Now that I’ve seen this video I’ll start using cover more because I don’t that often and it’s why destiny is frustrating. I’m literally exposing myself to all the bullshit. Don’t do that. Just play slow and smart.

Thanks for the tip 👍

One that really hit me is the Super one... I used to feel allmighty when my super was active and ended falling miserably with 0 kills and probably a 10-12 year old with some LOL emote right after it... Thanks for the advice!!

Great vid, nice to see a PvP controller player showing controllers can be good. Its also really good to find a PvP guide vid that is short, if I had the time to watch an hour guide on PVP, I'd probably spend that time doing something else! lots of vids out there 40min + and they don't even give you points to follow. I like that this is broken down into smaller chunks which are easy to digest, especially for a PvP player like me who totally sucks at PVP😄, I will definitely try spending 3 or more games honing each skill, before trying to put them together. Got me slamming the like and subscribe button, Would love to see more of these. Keep up the good work man.

@6:01 if I had found myself looking at 5 people in that doorway on cauldron I would have died before I could even scope in. How you survived that one is beyond me lol

[@ANTH0NY.VII.]

One mistake I see people make is when they flee to an open area. That just allows the pursuer to fly above you for a clean up kill. Instead go to an area that forces everyone to be on the ground.

[@missingHI1]

Thanks for this. I’m trying to get better at PVP and this video will definitely help

[@JustALaw]

Now that you got me hooked on being a hunter I just have to master bottom tree golden guns weighted knife 🔪. It is so satisfying, but I don't know if I'm off a little on my timing or what. Awesome content as always.😁

[@phiwvey]

i definitely fall under the "swap weapons every second", though its sometimes for reasons of guns not feeling well for a particular map or opponent set

[@tbm1995]

DAMN, I never felt more called out. I am that veteran with a crucible ego😅

[@MindlessWasTaken]

I’ve been playin destiny since launch and have hours of gameplay and top tier knowledge and skill, even I was able to take a lot of things from this and even find things that I didn’t do the best. Unbelievably well put together tips and video

[@hizpanicGam3r]

Something I once heard is never stand still for more then 3-5 seconds, if you’re skipping aim and if they aren’t engaging reposition

[@URSoDead2Me]

You got a sub and a like dude. I would love for you to turn this into a series. I appreciate your time making this content.

[@ShadowDestiny]

I actually did turn it into a series! There are 2 more videos exactly like it on my channel, plus a lot more with a similar style. Thanks for the support!!

[@dugleypot2291]

I remember a few days ago I was cluelessly running from spawn In the general direction of my teammates. Looking at my radar, taking cover. But then, this one open circular area my radar just instantly lights up from all directions at once. I barely had time to think how screwed I am before their entire fireteam riddled me with led

[@sephandremanticore5438]

My biggest mistake in pvp tends to be using a roaming super on an enemy team grouped around the corner. I've come to realize I should only do this if my teammates are already there to distract them.

[@liamrockwell5375]

I like your tips but my tip is when a super is cast or final round split up and flank around them so their super is not fully optimized

[@erikamiller9505]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad to have found you!!

[@ShadowDestiny]

:) thanks for watching

[@arrowstrike1174]

The biggest problem I have is the matchmaking putting me against full 6 player professional esports teams. I experience one of these problems on average per game, but against players who are just better than me in every way, getting better just feels like seeing how many ways I can die.

[@EloquentTroll]

I was listening to this video while playing Iron Banner, and I actually corrected myself mid match

[@ShadowDestiny]

Lol absolute legend

[@kelvinbloxham4324]

Absolutely love the guides. Thank you so much!

[@kurtnordli1381]

This video reminds of an old saying.... "Wise is the one who learns from another´s mistakes, Less wise is the one who learns only from his own mistakes. The fool keeps making the same mistakes again and again and never learns from them." Basically don't keep making the same mistakes over and over again and expect different results, you won't get the results you were hopping for.

[@NihlusN7]

If you have a clan or a group of friends you can always invite them to play a couple of private matches in Momentum Control. Since the weapons cause way more damage and your skills don't regenerate unless you get kills, you can adapt into sticking to cover and choosing your engagements carefully because if you don't adapt, you'll die a lot.

[@mofro415]

You know i keep listening to videos like this in hope that itll keep me motivated to improve but honestly its draining with how inconsistent pvp feels. This season especially has felt super laggy to the point im not enjoying pvp and only going into it for bounties. Not going to lie the moment BF6 drops im probably not going to touch d2 pvp for many seasons

[@caylumfavel779]

One rule I always take from every game is my 1’s works in siege apex and almost every game I play never try fight more than 1 guy at once take it one guys at a time run if you have to they usually get annoyed and make a dumb decision giving an ez kill

[@howsik2sik]

Sir I wanna tell you I now snipe a lot more in pvp because of your videos and tips im still learning ty shadow

[@jacquesdebie]

Great guide for us PVP noobs. Thanks. Cant wait to put this into practice
