[quote]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: IN THIS POST: [url]https://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---11132014/en/News/News?aid=12387[/url] [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.[/quote] Your armor just sucks. I was sniped to the head by a level 25 and lost about 60% of my health. I was stucked by a level 25 lost about 90% of my health. I was shot by a level 25 shotgun twice point blank range lost about 95% of my health. I was shoulder charged by a level 24, lost about 60% of my health. I do 107 damage with my last word with 1 bullet and that was NOT with a hipfire bonus so I can just two shot those low level scrubs. Get good.
