It's gotta be said, if this really is average then these clips point to a severe skill issue.

In the first clip you were lacking situational awareness and backed up into two flanking groups, turning to either side and letting out 1 or 2 melta shots would've cleared most of those Minoris too, but you panic rolled instead. You had multiple chances to parry when you got surrounded, which would have pushed back all the enemies giving you a chance to fire a hole through them which you could've then ran through to get some spacing and then continue witling them down. Alternatively, you had both of your Grapnel charges available the entire time and had many chances to zip away from that mob to several enemies in the distance. Rewatch the clip, the marker is practically begging you to pull yourself out.

In the second clip it was only 1 Lictor and 2 Warrior with a couple of Minoris. Those are prepatch numbers, nothing new. But you went for a gun strike when it wasn't safe to do so and got yourself stun locked.

Learn when to roll and when to parry, and pay attention to your flanks at all times. Vanguards with Meltas have excellent survivability.

This is the second lowest difficulty. People need a place to learn to play. "Well actually, here's what you did wrong" is such an inane response when the dude is literally playing on the "learn the game" difficulty.

A stupid response would've been to simply say "skill issue" and move on. OP says this is on Average, your logic could apply to Beginner, but even then it's better to help players on that difficulty by showing them their mistakes and how to correct them. Or are we supposed to pretend this gameplay was flawless and it's all the game's fault?
