I think everything that might help the Newbies is welcome. Just implement every possible assistance for the Newbs across the board. These assistances can expire or lower over time. Measure it on the performance of the mathematically average Player, because if the bump in the gaussian curve is much to the right of the chart, the assistances must get higher too. Implement rubberbanding.
Sweeten the horrible KDR for them (and yes, it matters, because dying is the ultimative punishment in Dust). Eliminate KDR alltogether. Give them WP for dying or something. Give them 150 WP for Kill assists or some ****. Just anything.
I mean, until Legion hits we may as well experiment with Dust a bit more, right?
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

I think we have a little ambiguity with what is meant by "competition". I for one dont think that competition is a factor in the game as it is, and that is exactly why it IS mediocre. I must explain a bit more what I mean.
Ever heard of Boxing and Wrestling? There are "weight classes" in Sport, for exactly one reason and one reason only: Balancing. A guy who weighs 100 pounds has a chance against a guy wheighing 200 pounds in wrestling right? No, he has not (except by using forbidden techniques = cheating)! So yes there is competition in Dust as it is, but is it not FAIR competition. It is crappy one sided BS competition, and slight adjustments wont fix anything about it.
I frankly think the form of competition you advocate is misguided in terms of games or sports. It is just a means of defending an easy mode of instant gratification from the perspective of a big player in the painfully small pond. If you are a masochist, you may love the rouge-like character Dust has at the moment. But it isnt fair game, it isnt competetive. If we cant agree on that we will not agree on anything regarding Dust.
