Need to rant
I've got NO issue with lower level/ lower skilled players. they're either learning, or perhaps more casually gaming, whatever. but the amount of people I'm finding in hard stratagems that are low level/ clearly too incompetent for the mission is getting annoying.
take the current stratagem. I use sniper, I stick a little further back, I pick off groups of majoris enemies so they can't camp and snipe, or for easy armour regain. I SOLO'D an entire terminus wave, with a dude built for high, single-target damage, not massive group damage/ clearing. and I do all that, for my level 5, 9, 13, whatever number teammate to die to a single majoris enemy.
I appreciate people wanting to do end game content, I appreciate having people that are willing to try, but if you clearly cannot handle a lethal/ absolute/ hard stratagem, please stick to something easier until your skill level is high enough to handle the pressure of this games hardest content. I understand people wanting to play the content they want to play, but at some point you need to reflect on your own skill level and improve on what's lacking so you can function alone *and* as a team.
I'm not going to pretend I'm some god-given player, I mess up plenty of times. but to get to the point I'm at now, where I'm comfortable enough to handle groups of majoris/ extremis enemies on my own with nearly any class, it took time, it took practice, it took understanding attack patterns and timings in easier difficulties as I levelled up.
if this comes across as rude to anyone, then I'm sorry, I'm sure whatever reason you have for being angry is valid. but man, it just reaches a point. my responsibility is to contribute to the team as a whole, not babysit someone stuck behind me dying to a single enemy because our third has run ahead and left us both behind. there's no shame in practicing in a lower difficulty, just like there's no shame in attempting something harder, but please, please realise that if you're running into endgame content underleveled/skilled, there isn't anyone to carry you. it's full throttle from start to finish in most weekly stratagems, this one especially because of the modifiers. if I'm getting my ass beat by 9 majoris snipers at once, I can't just drop my fight to run back and help you.
about everything. more therapeutic to type it out than I thought it would be. I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this, whether it's positive or negative
