    Limit skirmish for 1 striker only

    Seriously like right now,, most of the teams against me in Skirmish play 3 or 4 strikers in 1 group.. once they get their strikers loaded its not playable... its not possible to do anything... limit this or at least disable striker boosting while shooting at downed players...

    I gave up on skirmish. I had such high hopes, but it's just terrible. I try running a shield build, but every time I die, I spawn back in with the shield on cooldown, so that's useless. Additionally, Ubi claimed this great matchmaking system, however, it seems no matter what game I play the score would always be 20-5. Never seems to be an evenly matched game.

    I have been away for a long time and decided to pop back recently due to hearing how great the game has improved.

    I grabbed the Season Pass as I figured, "what the hell?".

    Being completely honest, the game has certainly improved a LOT since launch from a content and loot perspective.

    DZ is still what it was, just a little less grenade spam =)

    But MAN was I underwhelmed by how weak the Skirmish pvp is. I thought this was a tactical cover game, man was I wrong. Apparently it's a "run around spamming SMG's while self-healing and using striker build" game.

    Not complaining, just surprised.

    The division has nothing of cover base tactical shooter. It is a more of a running and gunning around.

    It was my first time playing and then 4 more times after that. 100% players ran 6p Strikers. And once one team killed the other team, the winning team just kelp going because of the stacks.

    Could these people seek for cheezy kills and easys wins ? Nah, everybody know that striker is in good place.

    4 people matchmake. All random. 3 get booted because they are all in Striker.

    Yeah that’ll work.

    4 people matchmake. All random. Some are in their PvE gear. Load in, switch build to Striker. Work around complete.

    The game was supposed to be a cover shooter but we the players ruined that since day 1. I want to see damage outside of cover reduced dramatically, maybe a 30-40% nerf and damage while in cover buffed. But that’s hoping for something impossible.
