Bruh you bad if u think u can get good just by watching some video. U have to learn this facts by yourself by playing yourself. That’s how u truly learn
@@christianproust7332 I wrote that comment to say that his tips helped me and his videos showed me how to become a better player. You don’t necessarily learn by yourself and there are some minute things that some ppl don’t pick up. Next time don’t read so much into the comment and if you do then don’t comment at all
It’s likely intentional, but something about your voice and the intro is very calming and therapeutic. Time to wait another year till Game Sense 103 :)
Hello i don't know if you will read this but Your advice turned me from a horrible player to someone who gets 25 kills on average without you i don't know where i would be thank you
Quite possibly the best video I've ever seen on this subject. Direct, nformative, honest and without condescension. The only content producer that has included 1 very important caveat; 0:31 IF YOU CAN HIT YOUR SHOTS. Being an older PS4 player from D1 with very little game or thumb skill it's a relevant point to take note of and given that A.N. says that most engagements last 1 second or less this video has helped me make the decision of whether to continue playing D2 or not and may well save me the cash of buying Beyond Light. Great video A.N. Brilliant content. 👍🏻
Coming back and rewatching this to get in touch with the basics again. Even when stuff like this feels like second nature, the second something goes wrong, you feel completely lost because you haven't directly thought about the fundamentals in a while.
Nomad you have inspired me to win most of the time now vs always over playing losing positions... my kid and win percentage has drastically improved... KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING AS your a natural Crucible Doctor Indeed.... Ty
Yet again you’ve been able to explain something that not many people have been able to. I’m sure most people who need this video are going to feel it’s benefits.
I’ve never seen a video for PvP break down the OODA loop before. I’ve tried to bring this principle into my game before but, like you said, there always seems to be someone (lots of someones) that are quicker and better than me. It seems to come together sometimes and then sometimes it’s like trying to ice skate uphill. I’m reminded now, because when you train OODA loop irl, you’re trying to have likely scenarios already in your head so that you can shorten it. This video just reminded me to go back to basics a lot, instead of trying to “cheat” or shorten the OODA loop until I catch up to the action around me. Great video!
Great video as always man! I think a lot of people overlook the basics you covered. Especially when it comes to disengaging and peaking when they are weak. Hopefully this helps people eliminate a lot of those bad habits.
This video earned my sub. I've watched some of your content before, but this one was gold. I learned the same lesson from playing sports so it isn't new to me specifically, but this presentation is by far the best way I've seen this information disseminated. I look forward to 103!
First Destiny video I've ever seen that talks about the OODA. Developed in the Viet Nam era by primarily one fighter pilot, honed by many (one os whom I've actually had the honor to sit and have lunch with), it's a theory I never thought of actually applying to PvP! Awesome insight. And since you gave credit to commenters in the 101 video (I didn't read all the comments there), props to them for knowing about it and employing it.
Your advice turned me from a complete disaster to passable (from 3 kills to 15-20 per game). The rest is up to me practicing more, but ever since I watched your videos and started implementing your advice I've been enjoying crucible instead of dreading it. Can't thank you enough!
Man this is some good stuff. I just started playing the game, have an hour or 50 of PvP in and at the moment are proud of myself whenever I get 10+ kills in a game with a 1+ KAD, but your videos will definitely help me cure my game. Right now at the moment I’m able to think what will happen next most likely is usually me respawning lol. But these pointers will help me fix that I think. Also: what shader is that on the cold denial, I love it
@@AscendantNomad Thanks! Just yesterday had a 20 kill game with Jade Rabbit because I very consciously moved from cover to cover while taking in the surroundings thinking what might happen next. Could be coincidence that I got an easy lobby with noobs like myself, but I really think having some structured way to think about what I’m doing instead of always acting on impulses helped me a lot. I was already subbed but you’ve got yourself a loyal new patient doc... keep feeding me those meds
I’d just like you to know that I watched 3 of your videos and got top of my team 4 games in a row 8 in total tonight. I haven’t been playing a lot and when I did I was really bad at it so I haven’t done that in months
Idk why this showed up on my feed but you make great videos so I figured I'd watch and see what you have for people. As an ex legion/top 500 player (quit the game was tired of hacks and where the game was going and the nerfs to functionality of gear) these are solid tips. The ooda method is very old. I learned it in the military and it can be applied to many life aspects and it makes it easier to access a flow state. You can almost turn it on at will with enough practice.
Supremely helpful! I've been following along since the early days and my KD / Kills have been improving faster than ever. I would love to see a collab between yourself and CoolGuy or "ConesGuy" a.k.a Drewsky, if that's something you would consider? Would be great to see some of the cerebral D2 Content Creators hash out the finer points of a flawless trials card or something.
Game sense is why I'm so good at gaming, despite being older. It always blows my mind how clueless most teammates are. Blindly charging into obvious death.
How to win crucible in 4 easy steps 1: Choose Titan with a subclass with shoulder bash 2: Wear gear with high resilience 3: Equip a shotgun 4: Abuse shoulder bash when out of shotgun ammo
Imagine your voice used in a crucible simulation. It would be neat if bungie added a gun range/course where you fight against NPC’s that mimics player movement and behavior.
Me: chases opponent. Opponent: **dissappears** Me evaluating the situation: "I'm dead aren't I..." Opponent: **teleports behind me and kills me with Fellwinter**
How about when u hit your shots but for some reason one guy in the other team dose not take damage at all and you get insta killed by the arcatechs.... dose anyone else have this problem.. more than often? Please let me know
@@AscendantNomad honestly I'm just curious, I normally dont pay attention to the stats unless the person is a super good player, your tips and techniques helped me out immensely and got me wondering how good yours look with how much you helped me improve mine
@@AscendantNomad , amazing to see that your stats are almost the same as mine, also great fun to see you translate all the principles ‘good players’ use in to words! If you ever play on xbox, and you wanna play trials or smth (anyone) MrCyberCeaser
Answer me this crucible doctor. How do i get better team mates? Vast majority of my games i lose despite highkill games due to my team being absolute bots
Got it, so, equip skullfort, top tree striker, press and hold shift+w and shoulder charge or if you really are skilful replace shoulder charge with shotgun. Or, Gnawing hunger goes brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Yours truly, Titan main.
The thing is, even as a someone who’s been top of my team just about every crucible match since the D1 beta, no matter how good I get or how well I perform in a game, the feeling of being a solo player fighting against a stack of guardians similar to me in skill (without strong random teammates) just makes me want to stop playing the game. Of course there’s no better feeling than getting 40+ kills, hard carrying your team, and putting a 6 stack of tryhards in their pathetic place, all at once. I’m just tired of needing to choose between sweating and getting curb stomped. :/
It wasn’t mentioned but whenever a player without a shotgun is suddenly going ape, it’s 100% them about to pop a Super on your butt... or seriously misjudging their situation. Let’s assume the former. ;P It’s saved my life several times, as I can anticipate the free headshot.
Very nice video. But for a game like destiny where the cheaters are dominating the casual players... I dobt know what to say. Its very easy to get tilted and not enjoyibg the game anymore. How long this video took for you to made? I run cheaters every game almost... Im a 2.2 kda and sudently everyone beats me since bubgie decide to move to steam.
Hopefully it changes (a lot) now that bungie is sueing perfect aim, and they're moving to the tiger engine and allowing the physics host control. Those are huuuuge changes. I've been seriously discouraged this season too. First time I haven't been able to make it to 5500 in the last 3 years.
I'll be live on Twitch later today (1:30pm EST) to review your gameplay, so go follow me there if you haven't already! twitch.tv/ascendantnomad

Absorbing new ideas and adding them to your toolkit definitely doesn't help you improve at anything...smh
Hit up some of CoolGuy's videos next if you haven't already. He has also helped me.
I guess you could say it's..... just what the doctor ordered... eh?
I watched this over my lunch break and JUST NOW realized that I never took my food out of the microwave. That should tell you how good this is.
Indeed I agree. It also tells us you eat microwave food. This is Very interesting!

Honestly, this is one of the main reasons AN is one of my favorite content creators.
I can't imagine AN getting tilted or triggered!
