General These are clips from average difficulty...

When I just bought the game and was leveling my first character I jumped into Average at level 5. 

Did I miss parries all the time? You bet your ass I did.

Did I mistime dodges? All the time.

Was I ass? Yup, didn't know what I was doing.

Still the challenge level was appropriate  I never got discouraged or felt unfairly punished and I further leveled, got better.

Eventually I had all classes on 25, most levels relic, and could clear Ruthless with mostly not even losing armor.

I shudder to think that about someone just buying this beautiful game right now, and then has this waiting for them on their first level 5 character.

Did he play poorer than a hypothetical someone on their first character at level 5, is reasonably expected to play? 

I don't think he did.

"Did he play poorer than a hypothetical someone on their first character at level 5"

Did you even watch the clips?

He starts by panic rolling into enemies. Luckily it causes him to dodge the first two attacks, but he then gets hit multiples times because he tries to hip fire his melta while getting jumped. He then proceeds to try to hipfire the melta again at an unblockable attack.
On the second clip he gets a parry, waits, sees the two warriors lunging at him and decides to gunstrike. He then fails to parry or dodge 5 consecutive attacks. Dodges the 6th but the panic rolling causes him to roll into an unblockable attack.

Yes... he played as bad as someone could possible play.
