The problem isn't that it imbalances people off of skill, but SL. I'll go back to the boxing comparison again:

"Do you know why there are weight classes in, say, boxing? Rhetorical question, but it is because two people can be equally skilled, but the person who weighs 50 lbs more is going to win. With how Soul Memory works currently, is similar to if someone who is 170 lbs boxes against someone who is 210 lbs."
