I have guild mates who are 60 and no paywall as of yet some are 10+ paragons. From my understanding as well pvp is not affected by your gear it’s pretty much even besides the build and skills you choose to use
PvP is heavily affected by 5 star gems , which your really only getting by paying a lot, not just buying battle pass. look at the screen shot and take a guess at who had all 5 star gems. dude literally just ran through our entire team over and over.

battle pass gives you 3 greater rift keys a month and you have a 0.5 percent chance of a 5star gem drop when you use those keys. 5 star gems are completely different gems then the 1 and 2 stars that are easy to get for free, (abilities, power boosts, etc) and you can never upgrade the 1-2 star gems to these 5 star gems. Plus when you get the 5 star gems you still need to upgrade them to make them more powerful with more gems.
I actually liked the game. Got to level 60, it was like D3 with more content. But the gap between F2P/battle pass and those who pay to win is huge
