Iron Banner 2.0: Levels still don't matter. Why?

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. [b] Edit: Because all of you are idiots 1) Yes my shot did not connect and kill the guy. At no point did I claim I wanted people to die when I looked at them because they are a lower level than me. Please feel free to spend precious moments of your life to tell me I missed, as [i]I clearly had no idea.[/i] 2) If the light level damage dropoff curve is so pathetic in IB 2.0 that a decent shot from a non-heavy weapon is still a one-shot despite a huge level gap (>3), then your light level doesn't matter in practice. Only in theory. If it only matters in theory, this is IB 1.0[/b] 3) I typically do patrol mission bounties etc before I log out. I do not do these in my level 30 set because my level 30 set has way too much strength over disc/int thanks to rng. Is it [i]so hard to imagine [/i]that a guy can log off in a not level 30 set and still be level 30 when he wants to?

      Have you not seen the stats of a 77 Wizard? That thing was being generous by killing you from up close like that. Talk to me when you get killed from AR Range by it. And also.....its a 77 WIZARD. IT OHKOs everytime.

    • DeeJ also said a lower level with a fully upgraded weapon is a threat. What if he had a 300 attack 77 wizard. That thing is ridiculous

        Guess everyone is just going to come to your post to call you dumb. [spoiler]because it's true[/spoiler] Edit: lmao I didn't even watch the video, because everyone said the 25 was weilding a 77 Wizard, as I use one, I know what it does... but did you get some kind of twitch in your wrist, or what? Trade your 77 in for Light/Beware, as it's clearly too much for you.

      • I was a little sympathetic for you, but after watching that video I came to the realization you're just mad because you missed and that guy is better than you. Level isn't everything, and you shouldn't place all your bets on it.

        • Oh dear.. you are a dumb one. A fully upgraded weapon will do the same damage to you regardless of the users level.. your advantage as a level 30 is you take significantly less damage from non-upgraded weapons and can survive lower level super attacks.

            • It does matter. I ran through a few games of my Lvl 30 against 29s, and I was two shorting almost all of them with my Hawkmoon. They eat my damage like they are asking for it.

                  • There is something going on in there. It's not extreme though. Playing as a 29, I did notice the 30's are a bit tougher.

                  • Thats because he has fully levelled guns so he can still drop you. You can drop him very quickly though. Every under 26 i come across gets owned.

                  • Hey buddy let's sit down for a moment here. If that video is any indication of your ability; you suck. You had the guy dead to rights with your fusion rifle and you jiggy jiggy jerked your controller to the left and only hit him twice. Your opponent hit you with every round fired from his fusion rifle. The better man won that fight; no doubt about it.

                  • I tore a level 20 apart he did no damage on me. I OHK a level 24 with my throwing knife.

                  • You got fusion rifled, get over it, the lvl 25 didn't miss a shot and you missed yours, you deserved every bit of that death. Lvl 30 doesn't make you an invincible god on the battlefield, it gives you a slight advantage against lower levels but that's it, and that's how it should be. Don't expect to take all 7 fusion rifle shots to the face and ever survive, regardless of the level. Try to go into iron banner as a 25 then try again as a 30, there is 100% a difference.
