I'll be honest, I liked to game my way in PvP via cheese/meme builds/strats (which was great fun, RIP tiny Annapurna, missile recyclers and instakill SNAC, shout out to Nauru for being the MVP and exploding Corsair dreads) and when that didn't work or stopped becoming an option I'd just use my leadership positions to collect friends and top PvPers like pokemon and lend them shared accounts.
I was like above average to good at one point at least in caps though I guess.
Otherwise ngl PvP in this game has never felt that rewarding to me (at least in terms of effort vs what you get out of it) compared to games like Smash or Titanfall. For me, I really enjoy PvP in games where you can do some cool shit, share the clip with people and it's fairly easy to appreciate what is going on even to someone with only surface-level knowledge of the game. Interestingly, when I've tried to do that with clips from Disco (both mine and other people's) 3rd party observers struggle to get a grasp of what's actually going on, and often it just doesn't look very cool or interesting and the result is bland. In essence THIS GAME HAS NO SAUCE.
For me PvP was more of like a means to an end. It's only those moments that created permanent memories like the Ranseur Megazord with the Teamspeak Squad back in the day or the insane Core vs the Universe Delta rumble where you had to coordinate a lot of people effectively against crazy odds to win in order to release dopamine. The bragging rights for surviving that were sweet too.
Far too often I'd just have PvP experiences, die, and look at my screen and think "I could have spent those couple hours doing something else".
