Why is PvP so damn difficult?

[Durandal]

It's a game with a high learning curve which necessitates extremely good reflexes. If you're not willing to put in the time, and don't have the reflexes, you will get nowhere. There is nothing that can be done statwise to fix this. If you slow everything down, everyone will be slower, and aces will still be killing you anyway because they understand the way the game's mechanics work.
