Most of this applies to PvP in general but they actually manage to make it even worse in IB.
The sheer amount of BS you run into is absolutely unheard of.
Apart from being one of two Xbox-players in a 12-player lobby in a game that is known for its -blam!- servers and awful crossplay performance, there are a million things that you would report in other games. Here .. I dunno … it’s probably just the game.
People kill me after I killed them. People don’t take damage. People are literally invincible in their super while I get conveniently 3-tapped out of it with every trash hand cannon some blue gear dude picked up from Shaxx. TTKs mean literally nothing in this game. Lobby-balancing is terrible at best and pretty much decides the game and whether you get any progress on the tedious triumph to win games. People take zero flinch. 3-resilience Hunters get shot in the face with explosive payload, completely unfazed. Meanwhile I feel like my monitor is falling off the desk when someone shoots me.
The list is endless. The experience is miserable. We’re all playing for the sidearm, 25.000 glimmer to focus on … cool. I’ve spent more than 500k and I got two chill clip rolls. Most of it is trash. As always.
Good fun all that.

Sounds like you have no idea how to gear up for pvp. Here's a hint... Anti flinch mods. Targeting mods. Loader mods. Your pve mods are no good in pvp. Aside from that, you need a really stable connection. I recently got Starlink and it's better for pvp than even Time Warner, because Time Warner throttles. I've played quite a bit of IB this week on console, and I've seen very little rubber banding. However, I have experienced it in the past with lesser providers, and before I knew how to properly set up for gaming. If you're running a console off WiFi into a 4k smart TV on ultra graphics and using a wireless controller you could be introducing not only the instability of WiFi, but the built in latency of a smart TV combined with the small(but not entirely insignificant) controller latency. It all adds up, and the difference between 30ms and 60 Ms is the difference between seeing them before they see you. And no, your handy little ping test built into your console won't measure the latency in your TV. If you're running off Daddy's WiFi while the rest of your house is watching three different TVs then you're hopeless. Bungie can't fix that, regardless of what a bunch of entitled kids claim.
