Frustrated. Not improving. Need advice

Hi, I'm a year 1 player and in pve I've done almost everything. I was very occasionally playing pvp however since December I decided that I really wanted to get better in pvp. I am a very committed person and I take quite seriously the goal of improving. I'm playing only pvp now, every day, at least 2 hours. I watch lots of videos about strategies and tips and I know that I have to have realistic expectations. Despite my best efforts I feel very frustrated and disappointed. In almost 3 months my kd has improved only from 0.72 to 0.73. I feel like I am constantly massacred in the crucible by players a lot more experienced than me and that makes me sad because the match-making should be skill based and I don't understand why I end up with people so above my level. Trials of osiris is literally out of discussion. It is over crowded by professionals (which literally do that for money) and I feel like I'm just feeding easy kills for them without learning anything at all. As many pro player suggest in their videos I'm trying to play a lot of Rumble to improve my gun skills and be able to compete in 1v1 engagements. Well every time I play I normally lose very bad the first 3-4 matches and only after the match making breaks those teams 4 times I can finally find more "affordable" players at a level I can compete and learn. The problem is that it happens over & over every day. So before I can enjoy a pvp match it takes roughly 1 hour of hard defeats every day which is tedious, annoying and it really challenges my patience. I don't understand, I can do all the hard raids easily so I'm not a newbie in this game but in pvp either I am so so unbelievably terrible... or the level of pvp players out there is tremendously high ....or the skill-based match making literally fails all the time to put me with the right players and it take time to re-understand it every day. Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I'm missing and that I should do to improve? Thanks

  • The number 1 tip I have is don't care about you're stats. If you have played enough games, eventually you're kd will move extremely slowly. So even if you do improve, you can't really tell. Play 10 games, record your kd every game, and average that at the end. It'll show you how much you improve every ten or so games. Also play smart. Only enter gunfights you have a high chance of winning. Utilize surroundings and focus on staying alive. Good players can get out of trouble easily, so bones of eao and twilight garrison really do help. Good luck!
