So I played IB yesterday a fair amount (20+ games) and come to the Conclusion that most 32s you will come across in IB are people who exploited the hell out of Crota`s End.
I also feel that the Leveladvantage between 32 and 31 is real, anybody that has enough crucible experience under their belt will agree to that fact. You need on average at least one more shot to get in than your opponent who has the Leveladvantage.
The sheer number of Exploiters is really annoying. You get almost 50% of 32s in the Lobby and this number will rise on the weekend. I urge any below 30s to stay away from IB, for the sake of their mental healthiness.
How come I can tell that most 32`s are Cheaters?
From the 25 people I looked up that showed unregular performance (meaning why they have on average between 0.8-1.2 in Crucible they managed to almost double that kd in the games with/against me, only 4 had completed the patched Raid at all, while their stats showed that the week before they had multiple clears with multiple groups with the typical sign that they used Giveawaycheckpoints and the DC (everyone in the team around 20 kills etc.).
Does anybody, especially 30s and 31s have a similar/contradictory experience?
EDIT 1: Funny how the 32s-Cheatfaction is entering this thread and defending its "honor". Most negative comments are of the type:
"You stupid if you thinky thinky all 32 are cheaters"
Then when I reply:
"You stupid for thinky thinky your stats could hide your true colors"
They reply
"You butthurt for looking at stats"
Just keep coming and confirming to all that you are not only bad at the game, but also bad in covering your tracks.

I'm a 31. I have noticed loads of 32s, given the level advantage in PvP for playing PvE. It annoys me because i don't like raiding and don't want to waste hours grinding it. But i haven't noticed an advantage for 32s over me as a 31. It's fun ripping up these 32 raid tryhard because they think being 32 makes them good. But yeah it's broken lol.
-
Your argument is flawed. Level doesn't matter outside of IB, so if anything, people cheesing the raid to hit 32 hurt IB, but not PVP as a whole.

Edited by Karma Kills You: 1/14/2015 6:32:49 PMYou have that much time to pick apart stats lol get better at crucible your kd is a joke regardless borderline bad
-
I believe 31 does 5-10% less damage to 32. 32 does full damage to 31. This is assuming both sides are using maxed out weapons. This affects people who uses low impact weapons, shotguns or fusion rifles more than people who uses high impact weapons.
-
Why did you have to waste your time posting this? Millions have cheesed the raid and a handful of them are playing Iron Banner, isn't that simple and obvious enough?

1 ReplySad thing is there was very few of us including myself that solo to rank 5. I smash fireteams all day. Pretty funny to see kids having to team up to win lololololol.
-
Lol hey everyone!!! Check out OP!! Hes got crota raid gear!!! That surely can only mean ONE thing!!! OP IS A CHEESING SON OF A GUN!!!
-
I can confirm the level advantage from 31 to 32 is real. I had a 32 titan survive my 31 GG. I was stunned. That shouldn't happen. EVER. I'm a good PvP player and it's very frustrating a person 1 level above me due to luck can completely melt me.
-
im playing as a level 31 seems to be going well so far.come across a few 32's and its been 50/50. its only 1 day after the reset and the patch, why would they have multiple completions of the raid already for this reset.
-
I want to know why I (31) melee'd a 25 and did not kill him. Is this normal?
-
What are you talking about, Iron Banner isnt even alive. If anyone where living proof, it'd be the cheesing guardians. If its such a big deal, you probably shouldve beat crota some more and gotten to 32, and get this, you can actually beat him without cheating.

1 ReplyIf anything have the Lv 32s just face off with each other cause they don't need the armor to get to 32
-
28 Replieslove being level 32 in ib. Hawkmoon becomes a 2 shot kill every time with a level difference of 4 or 5. ;) over 100 damage per shot!
-
1 ReplyUm for one yesterday was reset day so not everyone could beat the raid,also just because their not good at pvp they are bad at pve?stfu kid go back in the basement
-
Yea this whole game is a bunch of shit. Bunch of cheaters like 60-70% of the community are.
-
LOL, to be fair, you waste you own time checking people's stats?... That means you care not just enough to check them over in game but to actually type their name into bungie and look? Hmmm and you are calling people names. I am the quintessential casual gamer and who really cares.....

Idiot

1 ReplyLevel differences in IB barely make a difference. Did about a 2 hour run yesterday and got rekt in one round but went with a 2.25 KD ratio on the next matches. Titan level 30 in IB cuz I need the gloves. The only time I felt a noticeable difference was with a 3 or more level difference. This level 27 guy got the jump on me and I thought I was dead but he barely dented me so I turned around and shredded him. But against level 29 and 31 guys it's fair game. If you're 3 levels or more below 32 you shouldn't be doing IB but at low 30 it really isn't that hard.

3 RepliesI don't see how cheesing a boss = skill relation in PvP

Edited by puppyk1sses: 1/14/2015 5:21:56 PMPVP KDR is a misleading stat. Some people don't care enough about PVP to get good at it, and the mechanics are much different than PVE or raids for that matter.
-
IB has always been garbage. Last time it was blue guns dominating over exotics and legendaries and this IB is all about handguns. If you have TLW, Thorn or Hawkmoon then you'll do just fine.
-
I was a lvl thirty last night and was posting 20+ kill a game, you need a team. That and I'm assuming your a scrub, it's okay.
-
Edited by RicDvsPT: 1/14/2015 5:14:36 PMI saw no diference when i was 29 and get some 30 in some IB ago before the dlc. The 30 were almost never at the top of the table. And i will not raise my lvl only because of the IB, i only need to raise when HARD raid is Out.
-
Edited by EventHorizon_16: 1/14/2015 5:11:24 PMI am 32 and barely play crucible. So when the IB comes around, I feel the playing field is leveled as I don't know the nuances of the crucible. I really don't know the levels and was thrown into some new ones. There will always be perceived imbalances everywhere. Just rise above.
-
1 ReplyOr a lot of people are just bad at PvP? It's a lot different from PvE, I know a bunch of people I've raided with that could easily hold their own in the raid, but have like a .5 K/D in PvP.
-
Sorry. I dont see it. Lvl advantage does not stop a lvled up gun. Smple as that. Took out plenty of 31 & 32 with timars lash yesterday. Was so muchhh fun
