With no skill based matchmaking how will new players get into it

My understanding is Arc doesn't have any skill based matchmaking. Is that right?

One problem a lot of games have is some players get really good at the game. Then when new players try to get into the game it's not fun for them because they instantly get killed and have zero chance of ever even ranking up. This problem can become worse if those skilled players also have better guns. It's fun to be challenged but it's not fun to get instantly demolished over and over.

Im concerned that with Arc this could be a serious problem. I mean if someone is way more talented than me and also has guns that can one shot me and armor/heals that make it so I have to land a boatload of shots on them. There is pretty much zero chance I'll ever even be able to begin upgrading my load out. If those guys are all over the map.

I had a lot of fun in the server slam but I'm not the most talented PvP player. Mainly because I'm old and you young guys are just a little faster both at learning and reflexes. Im a little worried in a few months the game will stop being fun because I'll never be able to get a good load out.

It kind of seems like skill based matchmaking solves that problem. So maybe it takes me a little longer to rank up to the point where I get into the harder lobbies.

Any ideas how an old fart like me can keep enjoying the game once all you young dudes get crazy skills. Any ideas on how they could do something in the game design to keep it fun for those of of who are new or not the fastest learners.
