I can't help but disagree completely. I am talking about fighting Rep 0 people. So basically, people who have only played this class a handful of times and are still easily mopping the floor with me with next to no effort.
I can dodge, I can parry, and after 1-3 rounds I can get an idea of how my opponent plays and try to adapt. I cannot play without making any mistakes, it's just not feasible for someone who only has 70 hours in the game.
Basically what I'm trying to say is this: This is a highly skill based game that requires you to LEARN how to play each class and how to play against each class. BUT, if you wanna just start winning right outta the gate, you can hop on the centurion and spam people to death with no consequences.
This makes for a pretty unpleasant experience, but that's just my opinion (and several thousand other peoples, based on the internet and the youtubes).
