Like I said if you think you know a good way to do that, im all ears, if im wrong ill admit it.

And no there's nothing wrong with telling someone to play a certain way, especially if they're new to the game, and especially if they're playing wrong.
The easiest way would to use someones average dps as a decider, easy enough to think of tbh and I don't know why you're talking about new low level characters, what matchmaking decides peoples groupings without even playing yet lmao. Players would have until 50 till matchmaking kicks in, gives people enough time to get the hang of the game.
Don't know why you think the fundamentals would be changed lol its not changing the game, and for all we know they may already have a form of matchmaking that we don't know about. Your "reasons" all sound baseless and made up, losing playerbase? lmao, I suppose the only ones to leave are the bottom of the barrel players who can't clear the base content without being carried, no big loss.
Sounds like alot of people want to wallow in mediocrity and bring others down with them.
