A normal 16 player I don't have a problem with. It's only the good 16 players that are just ridiculous. I feel like every time I block it's a 50/50 and I have to hope I guess right or I lose 60%. It's bad enough that I have to approach 16 very carefully due to his long reach and armor, but not even being able to block without a forced guess is a bit much.
Also, I don't consider rank a good way to determine skill until at least Majin. Even then, I imagine PC doesn't have a large pool of strong players when compared to the PS4 version. I hardly play on Xbox anymore because the players over there just aren't good enough.
I'm at Majin, and when I run into other Majin players it's a good experience. Problem is there's like....100 of us in the world atm on the platform so to run into one is the rarest shit in the world. Good PC players are just as good as good PS4 players from my experience, and I've run into 700k+ players in both. It's more that PC has less people so there's less good and bad players to go around. You run into the same 5 dudes over 2-3 hours basically.
