Play whatever it is that you want to play.
Let the haters hate.
This, so much this.
A thing that a lot of BSNers can never understand is the old saying "live and let live". And I am not talking about abysmal pugs. I am talking about the so-called here "bad players" that can only play gold using a "crutch" class like a TGI or recently EDI-clone.
If you ask me, everyone should be grateful about the TGI and EDI. Why? Because, simply, everyone wants to play gold and get a lot of credits. Naturally, a lot of people overreach and fail miserably. Usually at the expense of their team. What is the worst aspect of bad pugs? For me, it's their constant dying (and not medigelling afterwards). If I have someone in the team that ended gold with 30k, but helped with objectives and didn't go down a lot/medigelled, rocketed in a bad situation... he's never getting kicked, and I won't goon the forums and post a topic like a stupid crybaby and complain about how pugs suck and show my l33t score.
So what is actually the most important thing about the TGI/EDI that makes them so OP? They don't DIE. They eliminate the biggest annoyance of subpar pugs. And what's even more fun to note is that even with such "OP" characters, they won't score very much either. But they'll survive most of the time so that the rest of us don't have to solo/duo wave after wave. And that, for me is a good thing.
Why? Because I am not one of those that strictly think that people shouldn't play above their level. IF they don't cause much grief to the team, uhmmm... why not? It's the fault of the terrible RNG after all. With the many URs that sometimes seems to have a drop rate of 0.0000000001%, I totally understand why they want to play gold and get more money without being ready for it. I look at it this way - they are screwing the RNG, and I can fully support that.
I simply cannot understand why people are bothered that so called "bad players" will do well with an "OP" kit. It's quite fun for me when someone says "it's because you don't like being outscored, lol, score wh*re" and of course in return those people immediately get super defensive and say that it's a matter of principle or something. But I don't think getting outscored by potentially worse players is the main reason, I suspect that most of the times the real reason is actually the old "it's not enough that I am good and succeed, others should fail".
tl;dr
Just play whatever you like, and don't forget that games were not meant as second jobs, after all most of us do have real ones. Games are meant to be fun, so have fun in whatever way you like except cheating/griefing. There will always be a person that will tell you that the Fury/Demolisher/Quarian Engineer/BatSol/Destroyer/ Paladin/Infiltrators/Kroguard/Novaguard/EDI/every kit in the game save for 1-2 like the BatSent is OP anyway, and that you suck, so there's absolutely no reason to listen to them.
