Who is playing SCs for competition?

Tell me what's so competitive about a woe/rune-scribed/emblem geared rank 20 with a custom UI and five friends with the same on vent curb stomping rank 12s in commons.

And yeah, I'm exaggerating, but without a controlled environment where rank, gear and pugs are removed from the equation, it's just a free-for-all. A rank 20 only queue would go a long way towards helping, but I think people would be shocked at how small their "competitive" gamer base actually is.

All I said was that SCs aren't fair or competitive, I didn't say they can't ever be fun, or that they should be changed.

Played 20 or so SCs before I stopped queuing. Here are some observations from PUGing

1. Something like 30-40% of the SCs started with x 1.5-2 players on the order side as more joined it was to late
2. Joined approx 25% of the SCs and order had a 200-300 pts lead (same problem as 1 basically )
3. Premades with good group composition were launched vs groups with little or no heals
4. sub 20s just don't mix with premades

Yes!

The power gap between 20 and anything below is quite large.

Problem is I think nothing would pop after primetime except the occasional level 20 ques. In a perfect world you would be able to have a level 20 que and a level 1-19 que, but there would be so many problems w/ implementing the latter. And that would be just a temporary solution to a problem w/ the current state of the server.
