Do you even understand how stats work?

If you get a 100% damage buff for 50% of the time than you have a 50% damage buff, relatively.

People act as if Revenge mode lasts forever and is always happening. You do know that it is your fault that the enemy gets revenge, right? ALL that revenge gear is wasted when you and your allies decide to kill your foes in a 1v1 fight and can actually do it.

I can't tell you how many times I've been killed by a mediocre player with a high gear score simply because my **** ally came up and start wailing on them mindlessly, giving them revenge, and resulting in both of us getting two shot.

Countering revenge gear/mode is actually not very hard, but you need to learn how to do it. It doesn't just happen. Two players, both with a gear score of 108. The winner will be the one whose allies don't come to help.

Just last night I was playing against a 108 Peacekeeper who I'd consistently crush by myself, but my teammates were terrified of her, everytime they saw her they would tell everyone else and everyone would come running. She'd be fighting 2 or 3 people at once and crush them all. I had to keep telling them to leave her alone and not attack her so I could kill her, because when they came to help all they'd do is get me killed.
