I have a thing against the enemy levels making a bigger difference when THEY are a higher level than me but that same level gap with ME being stronger doesn't give the same level of power.
I know they have damage mitigation on for weaker enemies which I find incredibly annoying but it's fine when it's the other way around and minotaurs 4 levels my superior can kill me in one hit, gun or fist.
This isn't a case of "git gud" or me finding this game too hard. I just wish levels would matter more when I'm soloing a lvl22 strike as a lvl26.
TL;DR: weaker than enemy, damage dampened. Stronger than enemy, damage dampened.

It's a balance type of thing. For if you want to play with your lower level friends but don't want to be invincible.
