So playing duels and brawls I've been doing very well against most people, playing 4 or 5 different classes and the game feels really solid.
HOWEVER...
Once you add gear to the characters then the game falls apart. Trying to balance this game with the gear involved ... hmmmm. Its not even a case of skill once the difference is high enough. I was playing a 4 v 4 elimination (Which as a game mode sucks anyway) and a raider was ABLE TO KILL ME IN 2/3 HITS! I feel like we need the option to search for games with gear completely turned off or something. The peacemaker was able to grab me once and bleed half my health and then run off to 2 v 1 a team mate and do the same from behind! Gear makes the game exploitable and ruins any skill involved. I feel like my skill level is above the average at least from playing duels, however unless I hit a big combo string first, then the gear difference will melt me in seconds!
