You learned the big lessons of comp.
1. Adapt your own play style to the game mode. If you can' snipe for shit, Comp isn't the place to learn or to practice.
2. There are no pictures on the scorecard. The goal is to win....not to win with someone else's approval of your play style. Because at the higher levels, the skill differences are so narrow, that EVERYONE is using some sort or meta or "cheesy" build. And if you don't come with a strong, fast-killing build you are just going to get stomped.
3. Its a team game. When in doubt, stick with your team. Try to flank or wander off at the wrong moment and you just hand the other team easy kills.
Just ignore the Hunters. They think its their birthright to dominate PVP. When the fact is that its actually one of the easiest classes to play in PVP. Because most of their skills were DESIGNED for it.

You're right. I definitely learned a lot. Probably more in the last week than ever before. It's a very carefully crafted Ballance. I was trying of hard to make what I liked work. It is Soo tempting to just get on and yell about how much stronger hunters are in PvP or how annoying it is that scouts can't compete because low zoom snipers dominate mid range, ect. Ect. But I let it all go. I really tried to step back and see what I was doing and why it wasn't working. I experimented and found my little power spot. My tiny wedge of action that made me lethal, then I left Everything else out. I didn't worry about getting called a loser for wearing OEM. I didn't freak out about being called out over shoulder charge shotgun ape double and triple kills. I just did my best with my best equipment. And you're right, literally everyone is running their very best stuff. Backup plan erintils, invis Revoker sniping. Great hand cannons everywhere. It was a wild ride.

Gotta love the hypocrisy of it all......
