High reputation level does not mean that they are in any way good. I have met rep 0s who were godlike(Non-smurfs) and rep 40s couldn't fight off a leaf if their life depended on it.
And when you are new, you don't know all the buttons properly yet, give it time. Spend some time in the "How to Play" area against level 1 bots, learn to block, parry and dodge, it helps a lot, trust me, I spent about 4 hours in there learning how to do just that and it helped a lot!

Like Crusader said, high Rep is by no means an indication of skill. I'm Rep 50-something and at best, average. The game therefore doesn't look solely at a players Reputation level, but at deeper statistics, like K/D ratios.
Even when I was new, I could run into players Rep 100+ and kill them in 3 moves.
The best suggestion is still; Practice. Try duels against bots and like Crusader said, spend time in the "How to Play" sections. For Honor Isn't a game one can necessarily pick up and master in one day. If you've not even finished the Story Mode but jumped straight into Dominion matches, you're going to be ice skating uphill. It's not impossible, but you're in for a hell of a ride.
Any more information you could provide would also help us to help you. What's your platform? Which hero do you play as?

It's legit in that the game looks further than the 1 single metric of levels, and as many a player can attest; Level ≠ Skill.Originally Posted by Brothur. Go to original post
Understanding the core game mechanics will do wonders for you, and you need not be high level to do so. Learning how to parry, or just block consistently, and you're in the game.
But again, letting us know your platform and preferred hero lets the people here better understand how to help you.

i suck and bots are still braindead.Originally Posted by Cliff_001 Go to original post
Idk what to play. I like Valk. I know all her moves but just feels bad.
Anytime I have to do a quest, I just get destroyed (such as 25 takedowns with Vanguard)
The shaman and peacekeeper are annoying bc they attack so fast.
Centurion does so many unstoppables I can't do anything
I can time the reflects on unstoppables all day in practice, can't do it in matchmaking
Idk what im doing wrong. Latency?

it can be pretty rough for new people but this does not compare to traditional fightinggames. it took me maybe 5h to get used to basics and feel like i got the hang of it enough to properly play against other people, before that i was a punchingbag trying to learn how to counter GB's and remember what my attacks were.
stuff like Street Fighter takes 50h+, and then you're still just scratching on the surface
pick a character you think you can enjoy playing and focus on learning rather than how much you're dying. ignore the banter in chat and see highrep people as a chance to learn.
the learning curve is only steep the first few prestiges. at 4-5 and up the difference is less obvious
