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?

    If his weapon does 300 attack... It does 300 attack no matter what. Your GEAR/WEAPONS count, your LEVEL is secondary... If you had it your way then 300 attack weapons would do less damage and then even the 30's would struggle to kill other 30's because the 300 attack is weakened so that a level 25 with a 300 attack weapon has a greater difficulty killing people with maxed armor. This is how your armor gets in the equation: right now with max armor you got one shot by a 300 attack weapon, but not a 250 attack weapon. If you had less armor you may have been one shotted by both the 300 and 250. Fear the gear, not the level. ---edit--- Not to mention he used a pulse rifle which has an incredibly high impact to begin with. Nice miss by the way... Skill is still greater than gear... The better player won in this duel...
