You realize the convo is about duo BiS queuing discordant and stomping people right? As in, the only escape from the cancerous 80+ premades that farm annihilator geared lowbies in the weekend sc -- is still a F'd situation for a lot of players.
I don't know wtf you're talking about with UI and t1.
The retention on this game has to be awful for fresh accounts.
Do you realize, that people don't get farmed in discordant SC, because of BiS gear duos?
At best it is one minor factor among many others.
Do you realize that one team can stomp another one, despite having only players who queued solo?
Annihilator gear is t2-3 stuff, you should have the crests by rank 40 to immediately swap to conq or join for some PvE in order to save crests on ward unlocks.
Maybe put your focus on e.g. why people play melee healer at rank 40 with duelist gear and no talis and work on the root cause, why people struggle.
See why new tank players can't keep track with their guard target and get lost, because they never bothered to get used with add-ons.
When you have a team full of those players, you will lose. No matter the gear.
Those players were farmed in t1 and are still being farmed in t4, because they didn't progress at all as a player.
When people don't get the basics right, then this is something to work on.
Dying is no option.
