[2022] Maelstrom and max level ops

I am having many bad maelstrom runs, in matchmaking, due to people not using max level ops.

Not because of bad skills or communication, but because of this.

While some people try their best, others seem to come to this mode to level up ops, or simply get carried.

And that matches with the levels of the ops they choose.

When the full squad brings max level ops (or even levels 8-9) I know its a serious attempt, usually reaching gold or better. otherwise, I know this run, with 2 players bringing ops of level 5-7, is just a leech attempt, and a waste of time.

So I think Maelstrom, an endgame mode with limited agent selection, could see some level restriction improvements.

I dont like elitism, and I play via matchmaking, without voice chat, so I dont really care about the results.

Just that I play normal modes for fun, to complete investigations or to level up agents, and I thought Maelstrom was an endgame mode to try your best. Not to level up ops or be carried
