(Edited) Absolute proof Iron Banner is complete bullsh*t!
I was making a new warlock and got through the 4th mission or so. I was level 4 with my friends who are all high level like my main. I decided to test Iron Banner because last night I really didn't see much of a difference playing with my lvl 30, it felt like regular crucible. So I joined up with my friends to play some Iron Banner. I was expecting to walk in and get one shotted with an ankle shot, instead I was baffled at what happened. Watch the video, and let me know what you think.
Edit- Here is my second video as well, this was my third game and did even better than my first. http://youtu.be/h2rUdKnB_4M Check it out and let me know what you think! Also thanks Deej for replying at least, I was not expecting that. Although you did leave us with your usual vague wait till the update answer. Please don't just address it, please actually fix it!
A big shout out to my fireteam, thanks for helping me make this video ClearVue, AssasiNinja187x, ojndeath1, DukeNukem786, and xxKunntryxx

Edited by Coup de Grace: 10/8/2014 10:54:10 PMAn honest explanation: The way levels work in Patrol missions is that you are effectively capped at a maximum of two levels above all enemies. Meaning, provided both examples have equal gear, a level 26 player can be no more effective against level 5 enemies than a level 7 can. From what we see here, I'd say it's safe to assume Iron Banner works the same way. I watched carefully and the other guys could take you out with just a few lucky bullets to any spot on your body, but you needed several headshots to get rid of them. They were more deadly than you were, statistically, but that capped kept it so that your armor and bullets weren't [i]totally[/i] made of paper. It's not that the level differences weren't there, their full effectiveness was just capped. The differences do appear somewhat minimal. This is probably something that they would consider revising with enough (level-headed) support
