First of all you’re being a bit mean and you’re hurting my feelings.
Second of all this is in no way to coddle “incompetent” players. The literal best ever, most skilled PvPer in the history of EVE Online could be queuing for match, get aggro’d by someone in a rookie ship and have to go dock up for 15 minutes.
That same player could get into the arena and be faced with an opponent in an unfit ship which was only queuing to feed someone else. It’d get blown up in about 30 seconds and then the competent player would then still have to wait for their next match having not had a good fight.
Neither of these scenarios have anything to do whatsoever with protecting low skilled players and that should be completely apparent. If anything the second scenario would be a gift to an unskilled player since they’d get a free kill.
