I'm not sure there is enough "skill" out there to explain this one. I learned pretty quick as a level 4 when you stumble on the guys with ??? above there heads, run like your on fire or you will be re-spawning. Come to find out later on they were only level 18's. I'd say there is a level advantage system involved with IB. It is just so small that it is barely noticeable under the best case scenario. If they did fully put into place level advantages, anyone below a mid 20 would get destroyed if it is similar to Pve. In that case, everyone under the mid 20's would be complaining about getting one shot killed the whole match. Really a no win scenario. While Pvp is not my favorite thing to do on Destiny with all the one shot supers, grenades gone wild, and in your face rocket launchers that do 0 dmg to the shooter, I had hopes for IB because it sounded different. Anyway, I really like the game and keep tweaking. Thanks.
