Why is that a problem? Can you see how stupid this is? He is actually suggesting that he should be able to one-shot everyone 5 levels below him, and that they shouldn't be able to hurt him. Do you understand how ridiculously stupid that is? That would mean that a player who has completed the game and reached level 20, with a full team of level 20, could enter a match, get an opponent team with level 26 opponents, and not being able to damage them. Remember that you are matchmaked with other players. If your opponents got a level 8 guy who was unable to damage anyone, then they would rage and the game would be unfair, and your team would have an almost automatic win. The pvp is supposed to be a test of skill, not of frustration. Additionally, you would either whine every time you got a low level player, or possibly send them abusive text messages for them being on your team. How the fu** is that condusive to any fun? When Bungie called out that "Gear matters", they didn't say "gear matters more than skill". They said it mattered. In the videos, I think it is quite clear that he is a good player (on those rounds) but his weapons are less effective than those on the other team. Also, remember that the person posting the videos has had some really shitty rounds in the Iron Banner as well, and is only showing the highlights.
