Update: got to a level now where pay to play (of course) overrides any skill. I've even spent some $ myself but 90% of the players I go up against have superior armor so no matter my accuracy or proficiency I die first because they simply have more hit points and many times a 50$+ weapon... still kinda fun, but nothing like it was early on. I won't spend hundreds just to be on an even playing field. Now matchmaking has become an absolute effing joke as well...
