lowest skill gap of any game ever

OP wrong.  The gun balance is very good!  Some weapons are meant to be early game and others late game, with some, like the prowler, that can be hopped up with select fire for a good late game weapon.  I agree with op that some weapons are easier to use then others but I don’t find a balance issue in the game because of it.  It’s simply the weapons play style and it’s built in on purpose.  For example an r99 is way harder to aim at a distance then a r301.  According to op logic the r99 is poorly balanced because it takes more skill to use it..,wrong.  The r99 is superior to the r301 at close range and it’s high recoil is there by design so it’s not as effective at longer ranges.  That’s one example out of many weapon comparisons we have.  Skill difficulty on a particular weapon is also dictated by how we are trying to use it.  Mastering all the unique weapons is a part of the fun.  That some are easier to use, others situational, some powerful and some weaker is all by design and makes it interesting.  How boring it would be if all guns had the same skill level, no range/damage variations, or had the same handling characteristics.  

As far as legends.  Agree the big boys hit boxes are an issue.  There attempting balancing now and slowly is best to find a balance for them.  Simple solution for you OP, pick another legend!  You have many to choose from.  The legend s skills are a mixed bag.  Some better then others but none so over powered that it’s causing a balancing issue.  

In in my humble opinion the balancing in this game is done very well.  There are issues to be ironed out but it’s still some of the best balancing I have ever seen out of the box, especially concerning all the various weapons and legends.
