I was wrong about Iron Banner. (Destiny)

This is the first Iron Banner I've played below max level. In the past I said I wanted to see the level advantage increases so that a 32 had an easier time against lower levels. I don't want that anymore. Not after losing battle after battle after battle as a 31. Most notably is the way a Bladedancer's sticky grenade won't kill a level 32 enemy. I'll do everything right, get the stick, successfully evade, and watch as the enemy survives with a sliver of health. Also there were plenty of times a full blast of my Universal Remote will leave a 32 alive.

Basically, weapon power, defense rating, and level does matter. Even a difference as small as one level.

The system is working as it should ... which is why I'm not going to do another Iron Banner underlevel. There's enough lag and randos to deal with already without adding on a damage reduction to my troubles. It's such a relief to play plain control where my attacks actually kill people when they should.
