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:

[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.

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?

I play iron banner with my lvl27 titan at the moment and am not using a fully upgraded weapon. There was a lvl 30 with a mythical beast of a vex who was really irritating me that weapon was seriouly annoying to fight against and i only went for him in the match. "Dynamic in game bounties would be a great idea hunt down the person on a kill streak or thats killed you 5 times.... idea just popped into my head ill expand later" We had a number of battles where it was like playing a night fall mission. As soon as his bullets connect my health was nearly depleted so i had to be very tactical not only that he had good range damage. We did have lengthy exchanges but in the end he had mid to long range advantage my best option was to blind side him with a shot gun or really bob n weave his vex whilst serving him with head shots Point being i couldn't mow them down or zone them out of an area as i would on normal cotrol. My run and gun with my invextive was not effective. Before engaging higher lvls i knew for sure i would need an extra shot from my shotgun to get the job done. Levels do matter now. Last iron banner i would of been on even grounds with my lvl 17 warlock. Last night i actualy felt like my titan was just not strong enough to compete. He'll be back tonight got a day of tommoro and ive actualy had some decent sleep so guardians beware ill be back!
