[quote]Iron Banner was always supposed to be gear based, plus skill. They originally had it the other way around. We haven't seen round 2 yet.[/quote] wrong. Ur gay

And if it was supposed to be purely skill based, then it'd be the same as the crucible. IB was supposed to remove the gear/level homogenization and let higher levels with better gear wreck the lesser geared people. But instead, it was still weighted so that a low level in common gear could still take down a 30 in tier gear. Which was not their intent and they stated as such. The next IB is supposed to weigh "more" in favor of gear, but I'm guessing it'll still be mostly who can keep their AR on the other guys face the longest. As for the loser marks, I don't really agree with, but I also don't think they should get nothing. A better solution would have been a deserter debuff to prevent people dropping from a losing game. Given your last response, I'm not sure you were actually interested in any replies. Also, I'm really bad at being gay, I keep sleeping with women.
