Hey Jake, I was Commander in the first match, thanks for the carry dude. I dont main Destiny 2, I mostly play Dota 2 which is an entirely different genre of game. I have 6k hours in that. Ive been trying to get back more into FPS games recently and I never really practice getting adjusted and MnK aiming. Its hard but Im learning and Ive been watching your videos to learn more aspects of them game then just aim and shoot. So for the tough match haha

As a fairly new older gamer that has started gaming to fill the gap after building a career and being able to retire early, I really enjoy your videos and style of game play. I feel I am pretty accomplished in PVE, but really suck in PVP. Going forward and getting a little bored with the current state of PVE, and after watching multiple content creators, I've decided to bite the bullet, swallow my ego, and try to get better at PVP with your videos as my guide. Thanks and keep doing what you are doing.

i was the one of the warlocks on the intense match where u lost, specifically sharpiesniffing intense game had to lock in to win. entire goal for me was too play back and safe too support my teammates because they were much better. thats oine thing ive learned if ig u have teammate better than u whihc is gonna happen most of the time, PLAY AROUND THEM DO NO TRY TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER IF U CANNOT PLAY WEll. ggs tho jake

Yea lol if you’re teammates aren’t bronze that can work, it’s really tough though when more than half the time you get bronze teammates

[@turtle5542]

as a good player (i double carry in solo q regularly and work for a company doing paid carries on the weekend) THANK YOU. i tell my teammates in team chat often, “just live! i can kill all 3 of them, i just need you to survive long enough to give me the chance” and when they listen the game immediately turns around. it doesnt mean hide in a corner, but it does mean be extra conscious of your decisions. again, thank you for being the teammate that is aware that they may not be as experienced as someone else and is willing to play a safe support roll👍good luck on ur cards man

[@MrG-yb8py]

I’m telling you that as a aggressive solo, legend elo trials player, the best thing you can do if you get good teammates and you are not performing good is to just STAY ALIVE. I can almost guarantee a kill on the enemy but if both my teammates die before I even get the chance it makes it extremely hard to win rounds. Having 2 teammates that purely just STAY ALIVE gives me much better odds vs picking off people on the enemy team.

[@kenpachi2607]

The matchmaking is ridiculous sometimes. It's a little disingenuous to tell people it's not.

[@ashen9381]

I feel like token progress based matchmaking is actual cringe. If it's a competitive pvp mode why doesn't it just use SBMM? My main observation from running it for the first time since rise of iron D1 last weekend was that. I get ridiculously easy rounds. And then put against at least two people with gilded flawless titles. It's frustrating.

[@KryotekAngel]

True. The majority of players on my FL are 1.5 and below players our trials lobbies after first win are 9/10 one of us vs 2.15+ players. That’s with all three queues. It’s in console btw.

[@kenpachi2607]

@ashen9381 it probably doesn't use SBMM because then no one would go flawless. Everyone would be sweating their asses off every game. They have to make it somewhat welcoming. It's weird though. I experience the same. I'll have cake walk games, and then outta nowhere I get the hardest game of my life.

[@kenpachi2607]

@KryotekAngel I'm on console too. I'm a 1.5 K/D and matched a 3.4 k/d player. Then my teammates were negative k/ds. He has 1 positive player and one negative k/D player. How tf did that happen ?

[@ashen9381]

@kenpachi2607 This is the problem, though. I don't think trials is welcoming at all right now. You win four-five games, and you're feeling really good. Only to get stomped by a team with 3 flawless titles. Hell I've even had tickets destroyed within the first THREE games. Trials will never be welcoming. It's insanely unfair.

[@talalplays9060]

How do you run 36 resilience? If I run low resilience the opponents sneeze on me and and I die. I really enjoy the narration as you progress through the match. Great tips, will keep them in mind next time I play.

[@horrorcastles]

resil only matters so u don’t get 3 tapped by 120s your probably just over peaking

[@gmatt791]

Jake’s first game is a prime example of how most of my matches go with teammates, just get the unfortunate pair which make my games rough. Sometimes I can 1v3 or sometimes I can leave the scene enough for a super easy clean up. Matches with all good players on each time are my favorite and fun matches. The randomness of the matchmaking is a wild thing now but it makes for interesting weekends depending on the map

[@meapineapple2383]

Jake, thank you for this amazing video. I have been trying to get better at PVP and this video is going to be a big help. For too long I have been that guy where I am useless and I felt bad. How do I get better with hand cannons in PVP?

[@bgtmscotty3146]

So I'm a returning player to destiny 2 I played when it released 6 years ago and I deleted it after curse of osiris and I just came back to this game 2 months ago and I have already gone flawless solo it was the week when they had the 3 map rotation trials weekend I learned a lot from playing ranked cod for 4 years and rotating between search and destroy, control and hardpoint and yeah there is a lot going on all at once cause competitive is supposed to be fast paced even when it seems slow its not and a big thing is reaction time as well working on improving reaction time through practice allows for making quicker and smarter decisions as well and to not always rely on high sensitivity to react faster cause that isn't always the case I play on 10 on destiny which was really high for me at first so I would switch between 6 an 10 depending on the weapon I was using like the weekend I went flawless I used a last word and a retrofuturist shotgun at a 1802 light level 10 was to high for me when hip firing so I went back to 6 to hip fire but with auto rifles and other hand cannons I run a 10 sensitivity with an ads multiplier of .7 to fix the high sens when I aim also having good hardware helps like paddles so you don't ever have to move your fingers off the analog stick I'm sure most people have those nowadays though that play on high skill playlists but even as a decently experienced player I'm still taking away and learning and improving based off these videos mainly I check how you play and see how you use the map and teammates to your advantage so I can learn how to better do that cause I'm always solo I don't ask for carries I don't look for people to play with I just run it up and expect my teammates to have that same fast faced aggression I do and that's not always the case and I need to sometimes not play so aggressive when my teammates are playing back more I also forget heavy is a thing a lot so on the heavy round I tend to not even notice its heavy round almost every game but I'm gonna keep watching these and taking away from them I appreciate the help you give to your community as well as the destiny community maybe one of these days ill try to get a carry from you and see what i can learn from an actual game with a pro i think that would be fun

Your awareness at 10:41 to know the enemy went to the lower ground and didn't swing around the upper platform is astounding. I replayed this section about 5 times before I realized it was only possible by getting a split second glance at the radar and react accordingly. That moment was possible through incredible perceptiveness and experience. Very inspiring.

How to get these high stats?

focus armor in the HELM, and use a ghost mod for the specific stat you want. look up an armor focusing guide though bc u can manipulate your stats in a way that will take too long for me to explain here

[@davey999]

All am saying is I watch you lot playing and every gun you use at range never bounces around while firing.. mine is all over the place every time I hold fire and aim

[@R8TEDR]

Thanks for highlighting just how bad playing trials solo really is. I played 35 games and only won 5. This needs to be addressed for better balancing and better teammates. It's hard to play a team based mode as a solo. And honestly I want to play it more and get better but constantly playing in frustration makes it hard to want to care about getting better

Why join a competitive playlist knowing you’re poop how do you have no idea how to aim and shoot your gun on a game you purchased. You’re ruining the expierience for other players and ofc I get the two timmies who have no brain and just stare at a wall in a corner for the entire match. As soon as I see the goofy movement and that walk they all do I just know it going to be a L.

[@TaureanSmoke]

Jake, I usually agree with you, but when you said bad players have very little impact on the match you're in, that is an absolutely wrong. Bad players have more of an impact on the match than good players do. You have to understand that you're an outlier and a good player is a 1.5 KD. If you're higher than that, you are not a good player. You are an exceptional player. And exceptional players have a bigger impact on matches than bad players. But a good player cannot carry two bad players. If that was the case, the player population would be a lot more skilled than what it is.
