"Unfair" PVP

[HanCloudstone]

Who cares about fair? Could someone make it more fun and easier to learn?
My attempts at going to Connecticut and fighting people were kind of jarring so far. Felt like absolutely wasted time. I do the EK-thrust-reverse turning routine. I'm pressing wasd in a sequence to dodge enemy shots. It doesn't really work out for me. Switching from high to low speed weapons only allows me to deshield enemies more consistently. I still rarely hit the actual snub.
I have no knowledge and cannot identify my mistakes. Thus, the game doesn't really make sense. I cannot get the hang of the gameplay loop at all.
What's the solution? Surely the balance devs in their infinite wisdom have accounted for pepegas like me. Surely PvP is much easier to learn now than it was five years ago when I started playing.
