Why is skill level in pvp this low?

[Guesswhat]

Umm... I look at both ice and vs players. Total damage. I'm talking like < 50000 worth of total damage.

Granted that kills are not that important in shatter, but don't underestimate kills. Every kill grants your team a 15 point advantage. Especially on big ice 24 man; if you can score some kills during/right before ice then your team will get a rather big advantage. Or, rather, that team will get a disadvantage. The hard part is to know when to go for it. And it's more often than not a gamble.
