Well players are always going to be on a different level, you can't expect everyone to be on the same level all the time, i got Johnny coming back next week (probably Tuesday) just starting on level 1 and i will probably be around level 18 or higher by then, this game is not really user friendly in the respect of wanting to play with friends, as you mentioned it's not really compatible for 2 people playing together with huge gaps between their ranks (or is it?, have we missed something) they do have the dreaded matchmaking facility (it don't really work in Rainbow 6 siege) but that just puts you in the game with a bunch of strangers, i don't know what they want to achieve by this, surely it's better for people to play with friends etc?
