I get that its supposed to be a sweat fest. but the average player, 970/980 will have no chance. There's a reason a ton of people won't even touch Iron Banner. They'd get destroyed even with good skill. Some people have work and life to think about, and can't get on to grind to 990+. It becomes a power level contest, who-grinded-more event. [u]It REMOVES skillful play. [/u]If you really care about an experience that is as fair and balanced as possible, disable power bonuses for the game mode. Please see this, Bungie.
