If per say someone has 200 ehp in the normalized crucible and your suros deals 55 damage a headshot, that person will die in 4 shots, if in iron banner that same guy has 170 ehp at lvl 4, it will still take you 4 shots to kill the guy, this level of gear compression makes it appear that there are no diffrences. I think the lvl diffrences are even minor then what i am pulling out of my *ss here but at the very least iron banner should make the diffrence to be at least 1 shot, so that you need 4 shots to kill him while he needs 5 to kill you, right now lvls are so compressed and bonusses you receieve from 1300 armor vs 60 attack are so little, it barely registers on the floating numbers. 60 attack vs 1300 armor should at least make a 1 round diffrence, with in this case it does not as i see a Suros User shoot him at the same time with no outside intervention and they kill each other what sometimes often happens in pvp, witch it should not, because if one side is dead, bullets stop coming out of the barrel. But thats for another post.
