Level advantages in PVP
Interested to see people's responses to level advantages in Iron Banner. Personally I hate losing gunfights to people with 590+ power because their guns hit harder than mine. It also restricts you from using weapons with a lower power level since they might not perform as well. Things like shotguns have a less reliable kill range and some snipers have lower body shot damage if there is a big difference in the power level. For me I think its stupid since it gives a player with a higher power level a competitive edge, whether they're a better player or not. But with that being said, it makes PvP more prestigious for those playing it so in some respects its not a terrible idea.
My opinion is that IB shouldn't have level advantages, but it could be used in Trials when it returns. I'm interested to see whether others agree or not.

It doesn't make sense for PvP. It used to when IB gave upgrades post match but now since they're tied to bounties I just don't see the point.

For trials go straight ahead. Its a game mode created to measure skill and teamwork. Iron banner should be for everyone even if you dont have the dlc

level advantages in pvp are utterly pointless in games like this its a match making system first off as its a shooter with some random class based skills thrown in for sparkly nonsense same as any other shooter out there the division cod battlefield battlefront its all the same nonsense with slightly different styles of gameplay at the very minimum if theyre to leave level advantages on then they need to keep level 5s with other level 5s and so on all the way up to lvl 50 and keep similar level players with each other

If the game mode is going for a competitive balanced feel then power levels should be removed, if the game mode is going for the power fantasy then it should be retained. It depends entirely on how you feel about the game and how it should be played out. Power fantasy usually caters towards people who engage in the grind and want to be rewarded for grinding. Power fantasy usually caters to people who have fun feeling powerful. Balanced usually caters towards people who wish to focus on skill. So IMHO power levels should be introduced in the more fun modes of the game and removed in the more competitive side of the game. I think if trials is supposed to be the epitome of the Destiny of PvP competitive mode, then power levels shouldn't be a factor. If Iron Banner is supposed to be more of a fun event, the power levels can be factor. Just the opinion of a scrub btw.

1 ReplyYour power level should only ever matter in PVE. Absolutely no reason for it in PVP. Their matchmaking is already horrendous, team that up with P2P connection, lag and cheaters. My god what were they thinking???

Light level is a tradition in Destiny iron banner for years interrupted only by vanilla D2. The poll is decisively “pro” light level advantage btw.

Iron Banner and Trials are meant to be endgame PvP content. It's pretty sensible to give advantages to people who have progressed farther than others, in a game designed around progression.

1 ReplyKeep it for End game PVP , IB , Trials even Comp , why not?

4 RepliesWithout level advantages IB would be Control. But honestly, IB is very mediocre, it’s not exciting, the game mode is pretty much control. Weapons are good but not different. Why can’t IB be a different game mode, Different different (not a control with make up). And weapons should be more unique (not op, unique). I’m low level (grinding comp solo) so I haven’t touched IB, the game mode or weapons aren’t exciting enough. And level advantages won’t help me.

1 ReplyIB used to always have level advantages back in D1 no one complained they just leveled up.
