Iron Banner 2.0: Levels still don't matter. Why?
What the -blam!- is this shit? That's me, a level 30 Defender being one shotted by a level 25 Hunter in Iron Banner. That same hunter would finish in 2nd place on a team full of 29s and 30s.
I was told, explicitly, BY YOU DEEJ:

[quote]Power. Does. Matter! (no, really)
Only players Level 20 and above can lead a Fireteam
Players below Level 20 can accompany more powerful friends
Players within 3 Levels can be competitive with each other
Your DEFENSE rating affects how you take damage
Wear your best (highest rated) armor
Players out of your league will seem like a Boss[/quote]
1) Do you need help doing math? What is 30 - 25. Is it 3?
2) Do you need help with the definition of "out of your league" and "boss"?
3) Please explain why Level 25's are able to one shot level 30s, with regular weapons (nonheavy) in IB. Would it have been so hard to use a damage dampening function that ceilings at (opponentMaxHealth-%10) for the sake of making light level ACTUALLY matter? Seriously?
Bait and -blam!-ing switch dude. I resubbed my psn+ for the chance to make my raid gear shine, and now I wish I hadn't.

Edit: Because all of you are idiots
1) Yes my shot did not connect and kill the guy. At no point did I claim I wanted people to die when I looked at them because they are a lower level than me. Please feel free to spend precious moments of your life to tell me I missed, as [i]I clearly had no idea.[/i]
2) If the light level damage dropoff curve is so pathetic in IB 2.0 that a decent shot from a non-heavy weapon is still a one-shot despite a huge level gap (>3), then your light level doesn't matter in practice. Only in theory. If it only matters in theory, this is IB 1.0[/b]
3) I typically do patrol mission bounties etc before I log out. I do not do these in my level 30 set because my level 30 set has way too much strength over disc/int thanks to rng. Is it [i]so hard to imagine [/i]that a guy can log off in a not level 30 set and still be level 30 when he wants to?

5 RepliesThere are a couple of problems with this post. 1) You shouldn't be given invincibility over someone 5 levels below you. Why should you? For all we know you got lucky getting your level up to 30, been handed your gear easily from RNG etc. And if that is the case then why does that make you better than the next guy? It's really pretty childish seeing level 30's complain that they're not powerful enough. Effectively you're asking for everyone else to be nerfed so that you can rule. 2) You should be more powerful, yes. But this issue is not with the Hunter and his level, it's with the Fusion Rifle. We all know that this gun is ridiculous, but there's nothing you can do. Making it a -shot kill would render it useless. Longer charge times perhaps, but I don't think that would do much to stop the infestation. 3) I work full time, and see my partner other times because our work hours are staggered. I like to think I'm good at PVP now, I come first almost every game so I do feel like my opinion matters at least a little when I say this : Why should a snotty child who plays 24/7 getting lucky with gear, accumulating enough Strange Coins to buy the Exotic arsenal, and camps with Fusions, Shotties or Launchers be given that much of an advantage over me - a guy that can actually aim and shoot quite well? If I head shot someone three times with a handcannon, that bastard had better die, I don't care if he's glowing with his level 30 entitlement - I was better, and I shot better.
