Not only do they make the time to kill ridiculously short (everyone maxes out attack damage) people also max out on stamina reduction and regen. Any balancing done on the default values (mainly stamina values) get utterly negated by gear stats.
I had much more fun playing no stats endless march. This was also why the beta was so much fun to me - everyone was roughly in the same gear stat wise and getting killed by two heavies wouldn't even be a thing. Gear stats were the cause of revenge meta before revenge was nerfed because GEAR STATS. Now it's maxing out attack and stamina values while neglecting defense which speeds up kill times so damn much it is not very fun. There is little combat now. It's ganking with unblockable CC's into instant death most of the time in dominion. Plus the gear stats negate some of the balance placed on certain characters such as cent, pk, and warden. You can nerf their stamina usage, but gear stats brings it right back up.
With the free weekend I got a few friends to try the game, but the gear stats is kind of putting most of them off. Like there isn't really any choice in your build and they feel so behind, and feel that is unfair. They are at a gear disadvantage as well as an experience disadvantage.This innate imbalance in the game is one flaw that needs to go. You guys balance base on default values, but then allow untested stat builds to go in.
I then even told them to wait until rep 5 to spend their steel to get the legendary sets or else it would be a waste, but they want to look cool now (like how I do).

So basicaly they complain that they started playing the game to late and they cant beat people in the first daybof gaming because others are highblevel and have gear right?
Have you played hon? Or wow? I didnt. Because of the exact same thing. Ofc its hard to bear someone if your lvl is low and youre skill is that of a new born (im refering to the new players). Tell them to keep playing because thats the match, 2 gear is what differentiate 2 wardens on the field from one and other, or 3 i found a lott of similar posts where people had new players to the game and they "use theyr (fake) friends" to speak about an issue that bothers him, not his (fake) friends. Not necesaire your case but its starting to become a thing
