I don't really like the idea of splitting queues into people who are hardcore following the meta vs completely relaxed. But I also hate queueing for higher difficulties and getting matched with level 5 players who don't have a Booster unlocked yet.

The thing that seems to work pretty well in deep rock is that you can create a server and name it. Usually it's something like greenbeards (noobs) welcome. No cryo (it contradicts fire damage) or what level you have to be at min. Just things like that. I think that would filter out a lot of problems like that. But the drg community also seems way more lay back than the helldivers community.

Good on ya for bringing up Deep Rock Galactic; I also agree the system in that game works ok...but also the community in DRG (I'm my opinion) is way more welcoming...I don't know why that is, just from my experience.

I guess it's because of the game itself having a very merry and dwarfy vibe, but also because of the devs keeping up with the community
