Hopefully you've positioned and timed things so you get an advantage (weapon, color, etc) and the boon/bane wouldn't make a difference. On the close or bad matchups it's a factor, but ideally that's a minority of the time.
I'm f2p so beggars can't be choosers. Of course I'm hoping to get 5's all the time, but I just enjoy the game for what it is. There's satisfaction in crafting strong characters (and mowing enemies down), but I also enjoy the challenge when I feel like my team is the 'underdog' and have to think it through more.
