Nah man, again you look too far into it. High level lobbies have bad players, level based match making reflects hours in the game. People don't always improve just by playing and running the same process each time.
You see wstr in high level lobbies still. And guess what, there is no SBMM so high levels are all in your lobbies the same way they are in mine.
It is a throw, but you still encounter BAD PLAYERS who have put hours into the game. who use that gun, or get killed by that gun. And guess what , they run stack overflow in those lobbies when they do use it.
You base the guns effectiveness of your own lobbies only. I did not, that is you assuming the exceptions (being high level lobbies) are the norm.
Plenty of people who are shit run around with gold gear. That happens in every extraction shooter. Stop arguing for the sake of arguing. No stance has changed or been exposed. My whole stance was, the gun being butchered shifted the meta. Which is healthy, people still use it, people still die to it, it is not 100% unusable.
The only one who seemed to take that to heart is you, assuming I have a low level(? weird assumption when level just says how many hours you play like it means much), and then talking about people running full golds. Brother everyone has seen full golds fucking up and dying to people in budget kits who are more skilled than them. As Im sure majority of people have killed gold kitted people who are not good at the game with lower kits.
If you think my stance changed on my original post on the WSTR then thats on you for not reading too well
