@Cheese9Man I've been old both sides of the coin, both the top damage dealer in the team with two players who couldn't even repair their own shields, and as the noob with a team of sweaty superstars (they were really nice though) who could down players with their bare 30-30s that I couldn't even see were there. Neither experience was fun.
The sad part was that after the match with the TTV sweats, I got a match feedback survey and accidentally clicked on "Yes" when I wanted to click on "No, did not enjoy." So I inadvertently contributed more to this terrible situation.
TLDR; Respawn needs to understand that:
.5 + 3.5 + 1.0 will never be the same as 1.7 + 1.7 + 1.7
