****, it's just gear. Get over it. I'm personally praying this game becomes more skill based than gear based. Whoopty f***in' do, some of you grinded a million hours to get your gear, and others ground a whopping 10, rollin' full champion set, and then some for their companions. Yay, you got your high end gear, while those of us who work all hours of the day among other things, had to deal with constant RNG, and get nothing for the effort. It's already entirely too easy to run from lvl 1 to 50 in a matter of a couple days, and you honestly think someone would want to spend weeks on end trying to acquire endgame gear?
If your enjoyment came from having high end gear vs having actual competition in (omg) a competitive setting, then you need to get your priorities straight. I want to see matches run down to the wire, and both sides have an equal chance of succeeding at matches, not a constant lol faceroll 'cause one side is geared and not the other.
You talk about the fun being killed, but your fun =/= everyone else's fun. But I think we can all agree we want to be competitive, not getting our a**es kicked for hours on end only to HOPE we actually get something from a bag or two... add to that, the d***ed game just came out. New gear options, tiers, etc are going to be added.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be a challenge, but the challenge should be out in the world, and in Warzones, not getting a handful of worthless comms.
