The larger consequences of Platinum/Veteran update: Plat = too hard, Gold = too easy

So before I point out how "elitist" I am. I have a few questions.

How many players were infiltrators on your team?
How many games have you played with infiltrators?
What in your mind, is happening when you and your allys popped cloak around the game? (infiltrators usually have a me,me,me thing about them, so i'm curious how you see the world playing out around you in a game.)
You do know that infiltrators TC simply drops immediate aggro and enemies retarget another visable player, or as you put it, just sit around... (even across the map, say on the hack)?

Infiltrators provide 0 support and their main ability puts THE REST OF THE ENEMY BURDEN ON THE VISABLE TEAM.
Its literally like people think using infiltrators is the solve all for platinum. Well guess what, instead of thinking that LOOK AT WTF is going on when you play with an infiltrator. Ever notice how the solo's in MEAMP are using infiltrators? There is a reason they work so well...and its not because they do insane damage...i'm curious on what you think is going on in those situations as well....

Forgive me but I honestly don't see anything in your post that says your ready for platinum. Relying on infilitrators, and relying on cobras, in mass effect is in reality, "I don't want to get shot so let me go invisable and drop the aggro on me (even if it hurts the REST OF MY SQUAD...)," and "I need a big boom to drop all my problems when I get overwhelmed."  Anyone who says anything different are not playing mass effect andromeda in the real world.

Infiltrators are GREAT for some money waves, i'm not disputing that at all, but even as you pointed out, clearly they are not great in dealing out enough damage to secure a foothold facing a horde of enemies where redbars are bronze bosses. A krogan mercenary/vanguard with melee out the ass will drop 10 enemies clustered on a hack as fast as any infiltrator, and you know, they don't say fuck you to the rest of their team while they do it....TC last for a short duration after you fire your weapon and get the damage bonus. After that there is a LONG recharge to do it again. And whats the upside?.... THEY DROP THE BURDEN OF AGGRO TO THE REST OF THE TEAM?? That is a good thing? Like really my dude?

Cobra's are a bain to bioware, they make the "impossible" task as you put it to easily possible by instantly dropping boss units and weaker. They want your money from packs. You getting gold from easy games doesn't get them money. Cobra's are fine they way they are now, they do widespread damage and heavy damage, they still drop alot of total lifebar if you pop one on a crowd of enemies.

This game is poorly designed, I knew that before the game even came out it would be riddled with issues, lol like come on man I played ME3..... But you know what, I adapted, and overcame, and so do some other people who play MEAMP platinum, even with a hack. They don't rely solely on infiltrators or cobras, because no one has to, and you know what else .......they seem to be really good at making that 5% (100%-95%...for those... ) seem a bit bigger than you make it out to be.

No dude... you aren't ready for platinum. Call me an elitist if that makes you feel better.

Siphon guns bring back a cunthair of health. I have to kill 4-5 enemies to bring back the health from just 1 ascendant bubble shot.

Do you want poeple to listed to yur adivice? Yes or no?

If yes then please drop the patronizing tone, stop telling people that they do not belong to plat, and that they should stick to bronze etc. It is not helping. You know what? You might be even correct that some don't belong to plat, but it is not for you to tell.
You have some good advice burried deep in your posts but no one will read it becaise of the tone of your posts. Just stick to the advice, strip down your posts and people will be thankful.

Bashing freeloaders is one thing (with which I have no problem), pissing off half BSN (it is a conservative estimate!) for no reason is an other. You are very often mixing these two together.

I checked in-game and it seems it makes a difference what type of enemy you shoot at. Redbars don't do much for my Siphon shotguns but when I fire at armored targets, every shot gives me a considerable health-up...

Tone is what you make of it. When you read my post, imagine the voice of Homer Simpson or Cleveland Brown, the tone changes... I'm wont DARE give someone who pretends to be able to do platinum help. They aren't there to waste my time? Playing only equipped with N7 Eagel 1s and no equipment/consumables and god dam level 16 rank IV asari sentinel?

If people listen to my advise or not kinda doesn't really kick, what 10% of total players are on BSN, and maybe even 1% care to read my post. lol dude I'm a jerk when I haven't had my brownies, and until I get them I will continue to bash freeloaders!

From the way people were describing platinum, I was expecting... more?

I don't want to sound elitist, because I don't think I'm the best player by any means. I hadn't played since 1.07 screwed my framerate, so I took 3 pug gold matches to warm up. We were dominating gold sub-14 min so the host decided to bump us to platinum. I braced myself and threw on some cryo ammo for debuff and a shield booster. Female human adept.

Let's just say I about shit myself at the end realized I still had most of my consumables and my highest score ever by nearly 15k. I really think people are overestimating the need for stealth classes... the real necessity is stacking debuffs. Shit just melts. My biotic explosions were destroying everything.

Just my 2 cents

Yea, after playing a few more pug lobbies it became clear that objectives, map and team dps matter, a lot. Had a few hacks and they were nigh impossible.

I'm pretty sure we had pizza and then bosses.

Judging from my limited sample of pug matches, random groups already struggle with the objectives on gold.
